Trying to find a list of lenses that fit a 1d mkii, or at least information regarding which ranges fit?

Im led to believe things like the tamron 17-50 cant be used as its a 1.3x crop?

I could be getting it all completely wrong though... was there a review website anywhere that lists these things at all? ive been searching for quite a while and keep hitting a brick wall.

Cheers :)
 
This is where is have been getting a bit stuck... been reading a lot of review sites where they keep saying certain makes wont fit, but they dont specify what...

well its not the makes, just some types of lenses from the different manufacturers.

it does appear to be Di-II lenses from tamron that wont "work" on 1.3 or larger sensors. likewise like i say sigmas DC (not DG) lenses are the same.
 
1D will take anything that fits a proper full frame (the ones like 16-35, 17-40, 24-70, 70-200 etc). Only tokina crop lenses work well on full frame at some settings. 11-16mm or 12-24mm could be a very nice lens if you need it super wide on 1D. Otherwise sitck to Canon 24-70mm or Tamron 28-75.
