Q: Will this fit on my 60d?

A: I believe if it fits the 40D and it fits my digital rebel it will fit your 60D! You just have to check your connection , mine is 58mm. If you don't have the 58mm you can get an adapter. I don't think you'll need one. Happy photo shooting! Love this lens too! Awesome pictures!

Q: Is it a good lens for parties

A: Unless your party is on a football playing field this lens is not a party animal, go with a wide angle lens to get everyone in the picture !

Q: Would you recommend a tripod with this lens or can you get a fairly decent picture without it? Have fairly steady hands. Is the zoom lens noisy when zooming in and out? Thanks

A: You can take great photos with this lens without a tripod, but the general rule is that 200mm and up take much cleaner clearer photos with a tripod.

Q: Does this lens fit a Panasonic g7

A: No, this item will not fit a Panasonic G7.

Q: Will this fit a Sony A 6000

A: it will fit only if you use the appropriate adapter from Metabones. There might be some limitations with the adapter, such as auto focus or image quality. You might want to consider a lense with a Sony E mount, versus a lense with a Canon mount. Sigma and Tamron offer affordable Sony E mount lenses.

Q: What kind of photography is best supported with this lens? Or Is this lens good for portraits and sports photography?

A: It’s a prime lens so you are the zoom. For sports you’ll want a telephoto lens + high shutter speed.

Q: Will this work on a cannon rebel T 6

A: if you get the one with the cannon mount, this is a full frame lens, and I don't believe the rebel is. so go with the right format lens, it also might be less.

Q: does it fit the SL 2?

A: Yes, my SL2 came with one, it's made for Cannon Cameras. So far I like it. --Dave
