Since I had great luck modifying one of these lenses for use with my 10D I have purchased a couple more and I have 2 for sale. I'm not looking to get rich here but after my initial post quite a few people contacted me about possible doing this mod for them. So I'll offer a modified 18-55 EFS for $135 shipped. I have only tried these on a 10D but they should work on the 10D, 300D (of course), D60, and D30. These lenses are great and are much better than the new cheapo Sigma 18-50 DC if you can even get a copy that focuses properly (I went through 2!! and gave up) also the focus motor on the sigma sounds horrid.

My modification is simple I take the lens mount off then rough up the inner surfaces then apply some epoxy to hold the inner ring. Then after the epoxy is dried I use a CNC machine and fly cut off the excess material from the EFS lens mount. I then use an orbital sander to smooth everything out. The mod looks very neat, there are no scratches exposed or burrs or anything of the sort.

From what I have read it will not. The mirror is much larger on the full sensored bodies and would hit the rear element of the 18-55 lens as at 18mm is slightly protrudes through the mount.

The Mod modifies the EFS mount so in will mount to an EF camera.

Thanks! The last one I did I made a fixture on the lathe today so it came out great. I'm currently out of lenses but here's another option. I'll do the mod for *YOUR* lens for $40 including return shipping.
