Are use this Lens mount on my new canon M 50, unfortunately the camera was defective but the lense mount did its job.

I started with a canon T2i and I currently own a Canon D80. I've used this lens on both camera's and the quality is phenomenal. I have a few lenses, and this one is my go to about 70 percent of the time (the other percent I need a higher zoom). For amateur to intermediate (even a few pros I am acquainted with) use this lens. It's great for street photography, macro, getting an amazing bokeh affect, as well as landscape photography. I'm sure you will not be disappointed with this purchase. As a photographer, with a huge passion, hoping one day to add "professional" to my title, this lens does the trick. A must for anyone with a passion who would like great pictures, and needs a very impressive prime lens.

I am now officially spoiled... Canon's new nanoUSM technology is a total marvel and they need to start advertising their lenses accordingly so we know which is USM and which is nanoUSM because I only want to use nanoUSM now that this lens has spoiled me. Now I'm not a mechanical engineer or anything but I want to try to explain the differences the best I can so you can understand what makes the focusing technology in this lens so great compared to even other high quality Canon lenses.The lowest quality auto-focusing system would be found in like the cheapy kit lenses, like the EF-S 18-55mm f/3.5-5.6 IS II lens. In that, it's a basic motor and gear. The end result is an auto-focus that is both noisy any slow. Being slow is negative for obvious reasons, being noisy is both annoying and if used while shooting a movie can drown out the audio of the subject of your video.The next step up (no pun intended) is the STM otherwise known as a stepping motor. With this, the focusing is still slow, but this time it's very quiet. These lenses were designed to allow for auto-focusing during videos without the sound being distracting during the video. But the problem is that it's still slow.A step up from there is the USM otherwise known as the ultrasonic motor. Now here's the confusing thing, there is now 3 types of focusing mechanisms that are all labeled with "USM." This is why I said I wish Canon would advertise their lenses accordingly to the type since not all USM lenses are created equally. Before there was the Micro type and the Ring type. The desired one then was the Ring type. But basically the advantages of USM lenses is that they focused very quickly, and more quietly than the cheap motor one but still a little more noisy than the STM (in videos you'd hear like a chirping sound) but since it's fast and the focusing occurs quickly it shouldn't distract that much. The difference between the Micro-USM and Ring-USM is the Ring allows for full-time manual focusing even while you're in auto focus mode. SOME Micro-USM allowed for it but not all.But now there's a third type, and this is the newest one, one I think, and wish, Canon will make all of their new USM lenses with this technology. They call it "nanoUSM." Basically nanoUSM combines the advantage of the STM lenses of being quiet, with the advantages of the Ring-USM lenses of being very quick to focus and allowing for full-time manual focus. Basically it's the best of all worlds, lol.Now that we got that out of the way, this EF 70-300mm f/4-5.6 IS II USM Lens is the third type, the best type, the nanoUSM. So far I'm in love with the focusing mechanism and the lens itself is a very well-built lens. The optical lens doesn't rotate with focusing or zooming like the cheap ones do, so you can attach a lens hood or a polarizing filter without needing to constantly adjust it as the camera changes focus or zoom. But that's expected from anything but the cheapy kit lenses. Just figure I mention it, not claiming this to be some revolutionary feature or anything.I would comment on the typical things you would look for in a review for a telephoto lens such as chromatic aberration and vignetting, but I'm using this lens on an APS-C camera, or a crop-sensor camera. So I'm actually not making any use of the edges of this lens. Meaning I'm not getting any noticeable chromatic aberration or vignetting in my photos at 300mm, but that doesn't necessarily mean that someone else wouldn't using a full-frame camera. So basically I can't really reliably say if it does or not...But in regards to the other aspects of it, it's great. The image stabilization is much improved over the cheaper lenses I used before, getting sharp handheld shots even with somewhat slow shutter speeds. The focusing, as explained before, is extremely quick and silent thanks to the nanoUSM technology. Turning the zooming sleeve is very smooth on my lens, so no complaints about anything there. So far I'm very satisfied with this lens and for me is another good experience with a typically high quality Canon product.

The Canon T2i is my first D-SLR. Have had point and shoot digital for years. And prior to that I owned a Canon A-1 35mm film camera. This T2i is great. I bought the body only and bought a SIGMA 18-50mm f/2.8~4.5 lens for it. Better lens all around. Have since bought a Canon 28~135mm f/3.5~5.6 lens. Great for just about anything.The T2i /550D does not have all the bells, however it has what I need and then some. I would recommend this to anyone who is just getting into D-SLR photography, or who is look to upgrade on a budget.

I have taken moon photos with this lens. I have a Canon T2i and a Canon T6i, it fits on both cameras.This lens has brought me so much joy and inspiration that I've entered a photo competition and got in, thanks to this lens and patience. If you have the patience and the stillness to wrestle with the manual lens and tripod, you will not be disappointed.

I was looking at purchasing the T2i, as it could do 18 megapixels. Why? Would I really need to be concerned about the megapixels at the highest level. I am currently shooting with a Canon 300D, which goes way back in time, but still takes good pictures. I has a whole 6 megapixels. The Canon T3 gives me TWICE that of what I have currently. The T2i would have given me THREE TIMES the megapixels. I decided that it was not necessary for my standard picture shooting, and was over-kill for my needs. As for the 1080p video, versus the 720p on the T3, that also is fine, as I really do not intend on using the camera for shooting video. For those intending to use this as a primary video taker, they may be interested in the articulating screen that the T3i has. I have a camcorder, which shoots in HD, @1080p, that fits in my pocket--very portable. As for the screen, on the T2i, which some professionals were all hyped up about, I don't care that the resolution is higher on the screen. I review pictures on my computer, not on the camera. I have also found that I want to see a full sized picture, on my monitor, not a shrunken midget, on a tiny screen. I will occassionally do a quick review of a picture, just to make sure that I got what I wanted in the frame, but that is it. The end result being that the screen on the T3 is just fine for me. Now for the rest of the features, I compared the T3, T3i, and T2i, on the Canon site, and there is otherwise only a fraction of a difference between them. The difference was not enough for me to fell that I would be missing something, by buying the T3. For the extra money that the T2i costs, I bought a 50mm, f/2.5 lens for my new camera (well, I had to chip in a few more bucks! I also had to battle other would-be buyers on Ebay to get it!). I stuck with the Canon line, as having had my 300D for years, it has served me well (and yes, I plan on keeping it, as a back-up). The lens will work on the T3, as they would have also worked on the T2i, or the T3i. Basically the T3 gave me the majority of the features incorporated into the T2i, and T3i, that I actually needed. I was not intereste in spending the extra money for the 'fluff'.

I've been reading through the other reviews here and some of the negative ones seem to miss the point of this camera. I'm giving it a five star review. Does that mean the camera's perfect? No - but it is as good at what it does as you're going to find in this price range. Want better build quality, a more comfortable (but bigger) body, extra knobs and buttons and LCD screens? Then buy a 60D or 7D - this is not the camera for you. This is an entry level DSLR, and I'm reviewing it as such, not in comparison to higher-priced semi-professional DSLRs. Yes, there are some compromises - that's why the price is what it is. On the other hand, this camera has the same sensor and image processor (yes, exactly the same) as Canon's 60D, so if all you care about is high quality pictures and video, you're not going to do any better than this without spending thousands of dollars.I'm a Rebel veteran - my first was a 35mm Rebel 2000 in 1999, which was the first entry-level SLR ever to feature a shiftable program mode. Canon's Rebel line always seems to have a few features that its direct entry-level competitors don't, and I keep buying them as a result. My last Rebel was a Rebel XT, which the T2i is replacing for me.The T2i sensor blows the doors off the Rebel XT. My first shot (in program mode) ended up being automatically set at 3200 ISO - something the XT wasn't even capable of - and it looked as good as the XT did at 200 ISO! I haven't noticed any focusing or exposure issues yet, although like all Canon cameras, white balance under tungsten light is not great. This has been going on for so long now that I have to believe it's actually intentional on the part of Canon. Tungsten light is yellow, and our eyes become accustomed to it so we no longer see it that way when we're under it. But the Rebel T2i, like all Canon digital cameras ever, will show photos under tungsten light with a distinct yellow cast - maybe faithful to the actual light, but not to what our eyes see. You can make this look more natural with a custom white balance.I will echo what some say about the video mode being a bit unintuitive, but part of this seems to be so that Canon can allow you to take photos while shooting video - which is a pretty interesting feature. You first put the camera in video mode, then you focus with the shutter button, then you press the video record button to start recording. Press it again to stop. While recording, you can press the shutter button all the way down to take a picture as normal - video will keep recording. You can also manually focus (which eliminates the possibility of AF noise in the video) and then you don't need to worry about the shutter button in video mode. This camera does have a jack for an external mic, which is still something of a novelty in an entry-level SLR. Video quality is excellent, with very low video noise even in low light situations, and sharpness that's really more limited by your lens than anything else (the sensor has more than enough pixels to handle 1080p video).That's another thing - much of the criticism being leveled at this camera in the negative reviews is actually a critique of the lens, which this product (I'm reviewing the body only) doesn't even come with! Slow auto-focus, noisy auto-focus... these are problems with the lens, not the camera. I'm using my trusty Sigma 18-50 HSM DC OS lens and I have no problems. I recommend this lens over the Canon kit lens - which means I recommend the T2i body alone over the kit. Anyway, remember that this is an SLR - not every issue you might have is the camera's fault, and lenses can be easily changed.Lastly, regarding the build quality and ergonomics. Canon's Rebel series has always been "plastic" and the T2i is no exception. However, their digital Rebels have always been tougher than they get credit for, with a steel frame underneath a polycarbonate body. I've dropped my Rebel XT at least a half a dozen times from either hip or eye height onto a mix of surfaces, including bare concrete, with no damage whatsoever - not even a scratch. The T2i feels pretty much the same as the XT in terms of quality. I am a little disappointed that the main dial and shutter button are now plastic instead of metal, but this is actually more like the way Rebel cameras used to be built (before the digital era), and the underlying metal structure hasn't really changed from the XT days. I will say that this camera is more comfortable to hold than the XT, which had no rubberized surfaces at all. That said, there are some tradeoffs in the ergonomics of this camera - it is a compact SLR, and as such, it is relatively light and easy to walk around with, but a little harder to hold than a full size SLR, with a small grip and button placements that can be fiddly. Again, this is not a camera intended for people who want a "big" SLR.One quick thing to mention - the T3i is out now, so you might consider that, but the T2i will be staying on the market as a somewhat cheaper alternative. The main thing the T3i has over the T2i is the flipout screen. I didn't need that, so I went with the T2i. (The 60D also has a flipout screen, in addition to being larger.)So basically in this range you have the T2i, which is the lowest model with this newish sensor, the T3i, which adds a flipout screen (and a couple minor things like digital zoom), and the 60D, which adds a bigger body, a better viewfinder and a faster continuous shooting speed. Going below the T2i you will start to lose video modes and resolution. For me the T2i was the sweet spot, though if you do want that big SLR feel, you can always save up for the 60D. I personally don't feel like the T3i is enough of an upgrade to justify its extra cost.

I'm liking it. Pictures look the same as my Canon t2i but after I spent more for better lenses for the t2i. So I don't have much to complain about in a good looking nicely built smaller camera with good lenses right away. I like the touch screen focus so much I get irritated when I'm using a camera that doesn't have it. More I use this, the more I like it. I had a Canon g11 with the lens scratch issue which wasn't resolved. With the discount on this camera I feel like I'm ripping off Canon instead.
