Sigma compatibility

[malc1]

I'm thinking of buying a Canon 350D (UK). My current camera ia a Canon EOS1000NI have a Sigma APO 135-400mm lens. Will this work on the 350D.:confused:

Depending on how old it is, it may need to be rechipped by Sigma.

Don't take rechipping too much for granted though, as I've a Sigma 28-200 that can't be.

By far the best course is to try out your lens - both on manual and auto settings - on the camera before you buy it.

My old 75-300APO would not work with my 300D but then it was 13 yrs old!! It was a good excuse to get a new lens!

for your information:
my Sigma 135-400 do not work with the EOS 350D and not with the EOS 1D MKII. Works with the EOS 1D. Will ship the lens to Sigma for a update. It seems that some older Sigma lenses do not work with E-TTL II cameras.

The 135-400mm, as indicated by Helmus,.. is one of the hit or miss lenses. It is an older design that dates back quite a number of years..

There are lenses that Sigma will no longer re-chip or can't re-chip.. so you really won't know till you try.
