Can I use this lens with a Canon 80D?

The basic answer is yes, but I personally don't suggest it. Read on for more info... The long and short of it is that after crop factor is applied for the crop sensor of the 80D, this lens becomes 38-112mm. With a lens like this, in most the common situations that it is used, it mostly needs to be shot at the wide-mid ranges. I find that most my shots fall between 28-40mm when using this on my 5D, and on a crop sensor you lose that range. What I would suggest instead is a lens like the EF-S 17-55mm F2.8 IS USM, or the Sigma 18-35mm F1.8 Art, because those lenses offer a better overall range on your camera, and cost significantly less than the 24-70mm. Each can be found for 600 USD if you can wait for a sale. I have and use both regularly. If you would like more info about any of the lenses I have mentioned here, you should check out the reviews I have on my profile. All my reviews cover the pros and cons, offer advice for how to use the gear, and also have sample images taken with the gear. I also have comparisons/suggestions to other gear you may have considered. Here are some links...

Has anyone been using this on a 7d mark ii? How are your results?

The basic answer is it works fine on a 7D, but I personally don't suggest it for a crop camera. Read on for more info... The long and short of it is that after crop factor is applied for the crop sensor of your camera, this lens becomes 38-112mm. With a lens like this, in most the common situations that it is used, it mostly needs to be shot at the wide-mid ranges.

Each can be found for 600 USD if you can wait for a sale. I have and use both regularly. Even the EF-S 18-135mm would be a good overall lens, but does not have the fast aperture of these other lenses.

Does this qualify for the warranty?

If you purchase the lens from us then it will qualify for the Tamron warranty since we are an authorize dealer of their products. -Cameta Camera

It doesn’t seem to fit my canon %d mark ii. do i need a mount or extender (not sure i using the proper terminology)?

I can't tell what your camera is, as the % key seems to have gotten in the way, but I am going to assume it's a 5D, since 5 is also the % key, lol. In any case, it is likely one of two things happened here, both of which are basically the same problem. Either you accidentally ordered the non-Canon mount, or you were sent the wrong mount by accident. Tamron makes this same lens for Canon and Nikon, where the only difference between them is the mount they use. You can only use the Canon version on your camera. You can check this by looking on the rear of the mount. The Canon model will have 7 gold contacts on the plate, while the Nikon lens will instead have 8 silver-ish pins that are facing the side. So check your lens, and if it turns out you have the Nikon version, then get an exchange going. If this is not the case, and you do have the Canon lens, then it could be that it is just a bit stiff. Sometimes new lenses need a few twist on and off the camera to break in. Not uncommon. Don't force it though. I would think it's more likely you have the wrong mount. For more information about the 24-70mm lens, you should check out the review I have on my profile. It covers the pros and cons, offers advice for how to use the lens, and also has sample images taken with the lens. There is also a comparisons/suggestions section for other lenses that you might have considered.

Amazing quality lens for an amazing price. No need to go with Canon brand lenses!

Maravilloso, sobre todo en menos de 25mil pesos

Lo compré en un súper precio, cómo 16mil pesos, y creo que vale toda la pena del mundo hasta el rango de los 22 a 25mil, después de eso ya empieza a parecerme que hay otras alternativas a considerar, pero es un lente rápido, pesado, bien hecho y muy versátil

Très bonne lentille

La lentille est arrivée dans les temps, tout le matériel était inclus. Quelques saletés sur la boîte extérieure mais bon... Le seul hic pour moi, c'est que la lentille est un peu lourde (mais on s'y fait!) et que la bague de zoom, un peu dure, tourne à l'opposé de celle chez Canon. C'est un peu étrange au début. L'objectif peut être barré en position fermé, la qualité d'image est superbe et l'autofocus rapide et silencieux. Je ne regrette pas mon choix! Avec le montant sauvé par rapport à une lentille Canon, je peux m'offrir des filtres de qualité, un sac de voyage et un bon trépied. Faut savoir économiser parfois!
