Manish, the lenses would probably work with your rebel BUT I don't buy Sigma lenses unless they are in their "EX" line. THe EX lenses I've had good results with--the regular sigmas not so good. I haven't used these lenses, so look them up on review sites and see what others say. I've just made it a rule for myself not to buy Sigma unless it's an EX lens. Karma

Manish - DON'T BUY THESE LENSES. I agree with Karma's statement that the EX series is better than Sigma's standard lenses, but more importantly, I'm fairly certain that the lenses you are describing are from Sigma's new DC line of lenses that are ONLY compatible with certian digital SLRs. These lenses have smaller image circles which will work fine with the Digital Rebel and other Digital SLRs with a sensor that is smaller than the standard 35mm frame. If you use one of these lenses with your 35mm film camera, you will most likely get vignetting (dark shadows around the perimeter) at certain focal lengths.
