The Tooth Fairy dropped one of these on my doorstep yesterday afternoon. After I left home unfornuately. I won't get to actually see it until Friday evening.

Questions: the lens is a T-mount variety. I see lots of T-mount adapters advertized on the internet. Do the EOS T-mount adapters work with this lens? Allow infinity focus? Will the meter in the camera (EOS-1 & EOS 1d Mk III) work in manual mode? Or should I rely on a hand meter?

I know all about the donut bokeh. I can tolerate that. I think. Thanks for your help.

There was an SMC Pentax-M 50/1.7 in the box too. More on that later. I reckon I may need a K mount Pentax camera. Any offers? Free to a good home works for me. :woot: :grin:

I had a Sigma 600mm many years ago and loved it. I later got the Vivitar version and wasn't so happy with it. Good luck with it on your Canon EOS, or getting a Pentax. If it's a good one, you will love it for what it is designed to do. It is designed to take close ups as well as telephotos.
