There's no way of knowing from here. Sigma manufacture many lenses designed to fit many types of cameras. A Sigma lens that is designed to fit a Nikon camera won't fit a Canon camera or a Pentax camera.

You have to ask the seller for specifics or try it yourself. The lens must be marked as "EOS compatible" or "Canon EF" compatible.

Oh, and sometimes "For Canon AF" will be marked on the box. That's okay too. You can also tell by physically examining the lens mount if you know what to look for.

Why run the risk? The Canon 75-300 is a better choice.

A very important factor in chosing a lens should always be quality as well as future compatibility with other canons, Sigma has had a real problem with both.Several of sigmas af for canon lenses such as the 24mm 2.8 and 50mm macro(to name 2) will not work with eye control canons, nor will sigma update them. Do yourself a favor, do not be tempted by the lower price of this lens, stick with canon and save yourself from a potential future problem.

One word for which make of lens you should buy for a Canon camera: CANON.
