Q: Will this lens work on my EOS 5D Mark III?

A: I have the same camera, but I have problems with black edges on photos. I first thought it was because of the lens hood, so I took it off but still have those dark edges. I am returning the lens today. I dont want to return it, because no one else has a lens with that reach, but I cant use it and have to crop out the edges of every single photo. Hope this helps. (I have posted a photo showing what I am talking about)

Q: I'm looking for an affordable lense that can get me closer pics of wildlife. Currently I own a 55-250mm lense. Would I notice a big difference with this lense?

A: I think you will. I used the 18 x 270 for years, bought it when it first came out. For me, I feel the difference is significant. It is like having a 640mm lens. I am very pleased with it. A little heavier, of course, but I highly recommend the lens. I am lazy and don't like changing my lens. This has been my salvation. Tamron is a great product for me.

Q: Has anyone used this lens for sports photography or to capture other action shots rather than stills?

A: I was very pleased with the results I shot at several Spring Training baseball games in Florida. Great zoom capability, fine sharpness on subjects (with the additional screening at most parks, most of my work was with the autofocus turned off. It also produced good, sharp results inside nightclubs and theaters where I shoot concerts.

Q: Is this lens compatible with Canon EOS Rebel T6s? Does it have image stabilization? What is return policy if I am not happy with it?

A: This is an APS-C lens, designed for APC-C cameras with an EF-S mount. The Canon T6s fits those criteria. I have a T6s and the Mark 7D II, this lens works fine with both cameras. It has VC, Vibration Compensation, which is Tamron's version of image stabilization.

Q: Is this compatible with the Rebel T7i with the EFS mount.

A: Yes I have a t6i and was looking into the t7i and this works great with either one

Q: With appropriate adapter do you think it will work with the M50

A: Yes, this unit is compatible with a model M50.

Q: Does anyone knows if this lens is compatible with Canon 80D ? Thanks!

A: Yes it is. I have used with my Canon 80D and it does great.
