A Canon body does not accept a Nikon or Pentax Lens without something done to the lens mount. That means no Auto Diaphragm.... You like stopping down the lens for each shot not at full aperture? What happens to the metering system with a non-Canon lens? If you dislike the answers to the above question: why take this route? Why not look for a compatible Canon lens in your price range? Or is there nothing? Tamron? Or other third party lens maker? PS: A 280 Frank Filippone red735i at earthlink.net Having just returned from almost 8 weeks on the road, I think I would have liked a bit of a longer lens at times. Not so often that I want to invest a lot of money into the deal. I am looking at a 300/4ish manual focus lens that I can mate to my Canon Rebel XTi. I have been looking a bit at a Nikon 300/4.5 ED-IF and a Pentax screw mount 300/4. I see both listed in the $200-$300 dollar range. Might be do-able at this price.
