Morning all

I'm looking to purchase the Canon EOS 60D with the above lens, now i've looked at it on a few websites and it says it's for a Canon AF. I was under the illusion that the AF Lens wouldn't fit the EOS range. Is this true ?

Also if anyone has this lens can they confirm if it's any good, it will be used primarily for Airshow / Wildlife photography.

Many thanks for your help in advance.

I guess AF means autofocus.

It'll work on all Canon digital SLRs, whether it's any good or not I couldn't say.

Urm yeah I signed up in 2006 and think i must have forgotten about this website. Found it today, and went to register only to find out i was already a member.

Decided to order the lens today and it should be with me by Saturday just in time for the Abingdon Airshow. I'll let you know how i get on.
