Looking to replace an old 28-90mm lens from my first canon eos rebel film camera. Would this be a good replacement? Thoughts??

You been an adapter if you want to put on your film camera. This lens is a very good upgrade for the kit but the lens mount is for electronic cameras. Look the diferens between EF mout and LD mount. http://m.dpreview.com/products/canon/lenses/canon_28-200_3p5-5p6_usm

I have tried it several times with no problems. It is a cheaper alternative to the $5000 telephoto lens from Canon. I think you will be pleased.

I have never used the 11-16 but did research it before buying this lens. I think you will be quite happy with either one and can't really go wrong. They are both sharp, excellent lenses. In my mind the principal trade off is whether you want a slightly wider angle view (there really is a pretty big difference btwn 12mm and 11mm) and a wider aperture or whether you want the extra versatility on the other end since the 12-28 lens goes up to 28mm. Pics are definitely usable at 28mm in my opinion. Ken Rockwell has a great review of both. The only thing I don't agree with him on with regards to the 12-28mm is that I am noticing some CA that I have to remove in post processing (not a big deal to me but worth noting). I will try to post a few sample pics later today. Hope that helps and happy shooting!

Don't fool around. Go with the 28-300mm. Less lens changes and it just the perfect walk around lens. I know, I've been shooting for 35 years.

Yes ma'am it sure will!!! Funny i should get this request.. I was just thinking last night how much i miss that lens!!! I love what i have but i have to change lenses ALL the time. I miss that shooting from 28-300 not changing or anything. Its really the bomb!!! Youll love it!!!

I have both lenses and they are both pretty good. I probably like the 50mm a bit more than the 35mm. The real question for you to answer is what will I be my primary use for the lens ? Remember, we're shooting with a crop-sensor camera, so the lenses convert from a 35mm to a 52mm, and the 50mm converts to a 75mm lens. My recommendation for General Purpose Shooting would be to go with the 50mm ! A great bang for the buck and terrific bokeh !

Hi Ling, it is a very good choice if you are not looking for a Canon lens, I have a Canon 550D and it is working perfectly on it.

I have this lens for my full frame Canon 5D Mark III. I had the 18-270 equivalent, Tamron for my crop sensor Canon camera. I believe it will work, but the lens would become something like a 50 to 450 (1.6 times) lens so if you were wanting it for the 28 mm range, you wouldn't get that.

I have a D800 and all the lenses you listed as well. The 35 i think would lend itself to portraits and the like. I take mostly outdoor stuff which the 28=300 is a fantastic all around lens that I use for a walk around lens. Necessary no not at all but a nice addition.

Really quite Good. This is an excellent lens. I still have mine. Maybe the photos I took with it are still on http://amazon.com. Check out Kurtmunger for excellent review of this lens.

I have the EF 85mm f/1.8 USM. It's my go to lens especially for taking shots of my fast moving son. I don't mind standing away from him that way I can take more candid shots, more day-to-day happenings & on-the-spot mischievous events. I have not tried the 28 though so... this more on the 85. I do use this inside of the house. It takes some getting used to initially but once I got used to the 85, it's my main lens now... ^_^ I hope this helps!

Christine I also own a Rebel XTI but I have the canon 28-135mm and the Tamron 28-300mm lens. The only thing I can say is that I am considering the Canon 430EX or the Canon Speedlite 580EX II. I suppose that it will depend on how fast we plan to shoot action shots. Just to let you Know, I am new to this digital SLR stuff, but I have been using 35mm equiptment for 30 years and the issues facing me now did not apply with my old stuff.

Thank you for the information.I have a 10-20mm and 18-55mm at hand. I decided to purchase 50D with a 28-135mm IS lens and 100-300mm. I will appreciate if you can share your suggestion.Thank you and best regards,GO

Thanks for all of the feedback. I bought the E-510 about month ago and it has been great. I am glad I went with the two lens kit for $650 on amazon. Its great to have both lenses. The E-510 is proving to be a great camera.

It's a very good and solid lens for Rebel or any canon DSLR. Its focal length is perfect as a travel lens, yet it is small and light enough. Since this lens is old, the price is a bargain. It sure worked wonderful for my 7D for while until I decided to switch to a L lens.

Yes it is, I love my 17-40, I just wish it was f/2.8 but other than that is my go to lens. If I need to use only one lens for my camera is always this one. One difference is that I have a full frame camera (6D) so for a crop sensor camera like yours I will also look into the 10-22 one, if you ever plan to go for full frame camera then get this one. Hope this helps.
