I have a Canon EOS RebelG w/ Tamron AF Aspherical LD 28-200
Will the lens work on an EOS-300D? What kind of performance would I get?

The Canon digital SLRs need EF lenses. If your lens is an EF and not an FD or other type it will work perfectly. If "LD" is the type of lens yours is, and not just code for something spiffy, then it won't work. The 300D also accepts EF-S lenses (but there is only one at the moment I think, the Kit-lens).

The Rebel G is a current-model EOS camera, it takes EF lenses. Any lens that fits that camera will fit the 300D, or any of Canon's other DSLRs, for that matter.
Because of the 1.6x "crop factor" on the 300D, the lens will act like a 45-320mm lens.

I don't have the 300D, just considering buying it. Was comparing the Nikon D70 & 300D. If this lens works, I'm favoring the Canon.
It sounds like it should work, it is an "EF" lens, I don't know what the LD stands for.

If your gear would have been Nikon.....then you could have.

| Should work, if not, you can always buy a converter (granted you will normally lose any AF capability). I use my old m42 lenses on my 10D (with the correct adapter) and they work GREAT, I'm still blown away by how sharp they are. |

Your lens will actually produce better images on the dSLR. Lens quality is worst around the edges. Exactly the area that gets cropped off by the 1.6x "crop factor". So only the best quality of the lenses is used. Can't beat that...

I believe the LD on this lens means it has some elements made from low-dispersion glass. That helps with color correction.

| I tried some older EF lens when i first got my Canon 10D and was very dissapointed. I was glad that i didn't take them into account when getting my camera (i only borrowed them from a friend) because they would not take a sharp picture. I tried everything, tripod, auto focus, manual focus.... and the rest. No joy. a few days later my sigma lens came down. Perfect, crisp, sharp. |
