Nope.STM will not add anything to your existing setup.The STM support has been added to cameras from T4i onwards so at least you need to have T4i to take advantage ofthe STM feature and silent autofocus etc.

If you want sharper images and faster focusing, you might instead consider getting one of the Canon 70-200mm f/4L USM models. The difference in image quality can be quite a startling. Back (WAY back) when I was looking to upgrade my old telephoto lens, someone gave me excellent advice that the difference between the newer telephotos I was considering was relatively small - too small to agonize over - and that if I really wanted to upgrade, I should just bite the bullet and get the L. One of the best pieces of advice on equipment I ever got. Once I tried the L, I never looked back. The one drawback is that the lens will spoil you forever.

This lense does add some new features which work with the t2i. It has rear focusing which means the front element does move during focusing. Of course your camera does not support movie servo mode. Is the 70-200 f4 L better? Of course but a lot more money.

IS2 lenses can fit in any type of camera, whereas ISTM lens will fit with only STM compatible camera(i.e. T4I). The STM lens will not sound when in video mode, but STM lens sounds when taking video and it gets recorded by microphone of the camera which is annoying when replaying the video. ISTM has special STM motor to suppress the sound and works smoothly.

Yes. Canon does their best to make all their EOS cameras use the same lenses. Some features on new lenses (like the continuous AF of the STM lenses) won't work on the older bodies, but the lens will fit and work like any other lens you've used with single shot AF.

I tried the FD-EF adapters with lens elements like the Albinar model and gave up on them. Just too much image degradation. The FL and FD lenses have new life with the mirrorless cameras - Sony e mount, etc. If you really want to use the older Canon lenses on EF mount cameras, try to see if there is an Ed Mika adapter made for your lens. I was able to convert a FL 55 1.2 to EF use using an Ed Mika adapter. As I recall, it was fairly painless and took 1/2 hour to change the mount using the Ed Mika conversion kit.

EF 28-80mm I use for Canon 10D & EOS M and try my friend's EOS T3i, it work,so SL1 should be fine, but what you pay and what you get, don't expect it will have very sharp image.

I use it with the t1i and it works great. Very fast and accurate focus. This lens is one of my best purchases.

Nope. The "S" in "EF-S" tells you it's for APSC cameras only not full frame. It's for SL-1, The Rebels, 7D, and the XXd series like the 70D. The STM version of this lens is very nice, quite sharp. Its silent operation is what you want for video.

Yes, I have a T2i with 2 kit lens. I purchased the 50mm f1.8 and it's a wonderful little lens, great for portraits and closeups. I recently (literally a day ago) bought the Tamron 17-50mm f2.8 without VC. All I can say is WOW. For less than $500 I finally found a lens that does everything really well. Photos and videos. It's super sharp and super fast. I didn't get the VC version of this lens as I've read mixed reviews about softness. The older lens is beautiful!

I don't have the same camera ; you must read the camera instruction manual to see if lenses EF and EF-S are compatible with your model (in the Canon website you can read "... the camera is compatible with Canon STM lenses for smooth, quiet AF performance..." and the following website you can find every lenses for canon cameras : http://www.usa.canon.com/cusa/consumer/standard_display/Lens_Advantage_Select Sophie

So now I am wondering just what I am missing with regards to buying this lens for use on a DSLR like the Canon EOS 5D versus the much more expensive "EF 70-300 f/4-5.6 IS USM for EOS SLR"???

Not sure about ef-s because that lens is made for crop. However, 100f2 should be no problem. Have yet to have a compatibility issue with an EF lens. However... sometimes my 100 macro won't go to f2.8, sticks at 4. My 85 and 50 Let won't go down to f1.2, but it reads f1.3.

The lens box said STM, but I don't shoot video so I don't know how well it works. I wouldn't expect much from cheap lenses though..

I'm using this with canon ef 85mm f/1.8 USM and canon ef 35mm f/2 works fine even with auto focus just a little bit slow on focusing so mostly I use manual focus also worked with sigma 18-250mm

I can't imagine why the YN 565 EX wouldn't work on the T3I. I've used it on a Canon 40D and a 5D Mark III and it works perfectly. As far as I'm aware, the TTL pins on all new Canon cameras are the same... It's a great flash that is reliable, well made and offers both on and off camera functions that are important. On camera it provides excellent automatic exposure using the TTL system. Off camera it offers a very sensitive optical slave which functions in two full manual modes..as a standard slave (S-1) or in conjunction with the Canon pre-flash (S-2). It also offers 1/3 stop increments for exposure. I can't imagine why the YN 565 EX wouldn't work on the T3I. I've used it on a Canon 40D and a 5D Mark III and it works perfectly.

I have used this lens very successfully with my Canon EOS T3i. I hope that you have the same experience. Bob

I realize your question is now 3 yrs old, but I may still be able to help someone else. My favorite lens for my T2i is the Tamron 118-270mm. Talk about versatile. I have the Canon 50mm and a zoom along with the standard kit lens, but none compare to the Tamron...no more changing the lens so often.

I am not familiar with the EOS 350D, but I assume it has the EOS EF mount, so I don't see why not. I don't know how fast it will autofocus on your camera but, while not really fast, it does OK on my 5D Mk II. The STM motor is not as fast as the USM, and it isn't meant to be, because it is really aimed at movie photographers. Its greatest attributes are its small size, and optical excellence - not focusing speed. If you are not sure that you would like it, you should try to contact other EOS 350D owners, or log on to dpreview.com and read their review of it.
