Will this lens work properly with the Canon 50d?

If you have a lot of room to work with, it should work just fine; it'll be the equivalent of using a 135mm.

dont know about the 50D, but it works beautifully with the T3i and the 5d mark III

Came into my mind after I wrote my first comment: I think 85 mm is maybe a bit long for a crop camera, at least for Portrait, it equals about 135 mm on a full frame body. I have the 7D, too, and with this camera I prefer the EF 50mm/1.4 for portrait. It does not provide the perfect bokeh of the 85/1.2 but delivers nice results with the 7D.

One other option for you might be the 50mm 1.2L. It's just as superb (and erratic) as the 85mm 1.2.

Good question... It works perfectly with my 5D3, I didn't even need to microadjust AF. At least, the 50D offers MA, so you can risk it. Such a superfast lens with superflat depth of field wide open needs extremely accurate focusing. The lens itself is outstanding, if best possible bokeh is important for you. Otherwise the much less costly EF 85/1.8 might be the better choice for you, it is much less a risk that you get an extremely expensive lens that you can't really use... A compromise could be the Sigma 85/1.4. This lens is optically good but often said to be critical in terms of reliable AF, too, check e.g. Bryan Carnathan's good review (www.the-digital-picture.com). I did not use the Sigma so far. Good question... It works perfectly with my 5D3, I didn't even need to microadjust AF. At least, the 50D offers MA, so you can risk it.

Should work just fine. But you need to consider the 1.6 crop factor of your 50d.

Yes, all technical aspects of this lens will work on the 50D. It will auto-focus, it will fit on the 50D's housing, it will take pictures... all EF lenses will "work properly" on all Canon DSLR cameras. HOWEVER, the real magic of this lens IMO can only be achieved on a full frame sensor (e.g. 6D, 5D, 1D) which will yield the best bokeh. If you're willing to spend 2 grand on this specialized of a lens, why not go for a full frame body too?

It will work but the auto-focus may not. Better to go to the Canon 1.4X extender. The Bower messed up everything on my 50D.

I have a Canon 50mm 1.8 and it fits as a glove, so I think you shouldnt have much trouble to use it. A good way to make sure is to check the diameter of the ring and then checking the one your lens has. If it matches, then it fits.

Wow...nobody ever answered this question? The Canon EF 28-135mm will work on all Canon EOS cameras, including the Canon 50D.

Yes. Any EF lens is compatible with EF-S cameras. It's only the other way around (EF-S designated lenses fitting full frame or APS-H Canon cameras) where you need to be careful, as all will vignette, and some may cause damage when mounted and fired. A 24mm FF lens like this will effectively become 36-37mm on a 50D. Not a bad focal length and at this aperture, a decent way to get a very versatile and pleasing FL with a fast lens for not too much cash on a crop sensor.

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

Which 50mm canon lens you're referring to? If its the 1.4f or the 1.8f then no it doesn't fit. But the 1.2f, which accepts 72mm filter thread but I dont have any experience with this lens. Hope this helps.

It does not work with my 50mm cannon f1.8, to best check compatibility check the inside of lens cover or on the side of lens body, then match this with the reverse ring . I think the 52mm thread should work, but I have a crop sensor camera and I think 5d is a full sensor so probably that's the reason why it won't fit

Yes, this lens will work on a Nikon D50 but it is a manual focus lens only.

Depends on which 50mm you use, I have an AF-S 35mm fixed on mine at the moment and it works great. I'm pretty sure there is a lens compatibility chart on the Nikon site or some 3rd party site...

Why YES it will, HOWEVER the t5i has Canon's cropped sensor of 1.6, multiply by the focal length of 50mm makes this lens an effective focal length of an 80mm lens. This is a clear lens offering wonderful portrait along with macro capabilities. Just practice good macro techniques and you should have a fine lens. If you feel the lens is not performing Amazon's exchange or return policy is generous. I had a 50mm years ago and did not like it but exchanged it and the second lens is flawless. I hope you have a good experience and take many wonderful macro photos with you lens and don't forget UV and circular polarizer filters, the UV for general filtering of UV light and polarizer for better color and stopping down in very bright circumstances. Above all else ENJOY!

Sure it will, this lens works with my canon 7D and with my 60D . And does a great job with both of them . This is the best macro lens i ever used and its great for portraits also .

It should since the 50D and 5D are just a small and big brother and have same pinout for the socket, but I would verify anyway on the manufacturer website. It works fine with my 50D. Again it should work, but verify on the web. Thank you

If it has a 52mm thread it will with no adapter. Many 50mm lenses have a 49mm thread so you would need a step down ring to adapt to adapt one to the other.

It will fit canon lenses with a diameter of 58mm. The lens that comes with most kits works as does the canon 75-300. It won't fit on a 50 mm fixed. It all depends on the lens.
2142095
There won't be any problems. Yours is a dx format so it will be closer to a 60mm but other then that the 50mm1.4 is an amazing lens.

The aperture control works even with manual lenses,No problems with the 50mm 1.8, It'll work
