Has anyone used this lens with the SL2? I read mixed reports that it causes magenta edges with some digital cameras. I have the opportunity on a good deal on one, wondering if it is worth checking out and what I should be looking for when testing it.  Thanks.

I used it with a m240, very strong magenta and color cast, not worth the hassle unless you only shoot BW.

Not sure how it will behave with the sl, but most probably very similar.

V3 of that lens is much better and suffers from no color cast at all.

Thanks Malabito. That’s what I was afraid of.

yep, sadly that's why you see them for sale so cheap.... If you use film, it is an awesome lens, but for digital v3 is indeed much much better.
