What do you mean possible?

EDIT: Wait, do you mean attaching a lens made for a sigma camera to a canon camera?

Thanks, and Sorry,

No, I don't think it does because it has a different mount.

You can mount Sigma lenses on the DRebel as long as the lens has a Canon mount.

This lens is "for Sigma SA" which means it fits the Sigma mount system. Canon uses the "EOS" or "EF" system, so it doesn't fit.

That lens is made for Sigma SA series film cameras. Most likely it will also work with Sigma digitals. You may even be able to get an EOS adapter for it but it in all probablity it will only work in manual focus mode.

Do you know where I could get one of these?

This is pretty close, but for Canon

Would this work for you, Tranquil? It's made for the D. Rebel.

I've been doing some web searches since this thread started and I can't seem to locate this type of adapter. Seems like the best thing to do would be, if you already bought/own this lens, to sell it and buy an equivalent lens that has a canon mount.

What about this lens? It's got the Canon mount its a faster lens and it's $10 cheaper. You lose 100mm but if you throw a 1.4x convertor on it you'll still get good results. Just a thought.

Alright. Thanks guys. I guess I might have to part with ol' beauty. Unfortunately, the next step up (the 500) is $4,000. So its either I get a 300...which is still respectable, but is still going to cost me a couple hundred off of the resale price, or i just keep the lens. Or sell it and get a few other lenses (like the 50 1.8). Well that's my thought process. I'll try to figure it out.

Thanks again,
