Yes it will fit:thumbs:

DG Lens
The most suitable lenses for 35mm film single-lens reflex cameras, as well as for digital SLR cameras. Sigma's development of the DG (Digital) range of lenses has concentrated on the correction of distortion and aberrations. Magnification of chromatic aberration is particularly conspicuous with digital cameras. The optical designs and cutting-edge technology incorporated by Sigma eliminate flare and ghosting from te image sensor and create excellent color balance. Vignetting is minimized whilst marginal illumination is ensured. These high performance lenses are equally suited for digital and analogue cameras.

Shouldn't be a problem, seen as its a Canon fit.

From the Sigma site:

DG (DG Lens)
"These are large-aperture lenses with wide angles and short minimum focusing distances. With an abundance of peripheral illumination, they are ideal lenses for Digital SLR Cameras whilst retaining suitability for traditional 35mm SLRs."

Hope that helps! :)

I have one on my 400d :)

I think there is a slightly more expensive one DG APO I have no idea what the extra £50 buys you but I am sure someone else on here will know...

I was going to reply saying that's the lense I have, but its not, I have the APO that cost a bit more.

I have no idea what the APO stands for and I never realised there were 2 different lenses :thinking:
