Can someone please tell me what macrolens does fit this camera?

An EF or EF-S macro lens will fit. There is a Canon 100mm f/2.8 EF lens and a Canon 60mm f/2.8 EF-S lens. RF lenses are for the new mirrorless camera line - cameras with an R as the first letter in their model number.

Sigma, Tamron, Tokina and Laowa also make lenses that will fit the T8i.

Greetings Both,

@Richard, just want to say the T8i is a great camera. Its regarded as one of the best entry level DSLR's for basic photography and is very capable. I'm sorry to hear about the recent lens acquisition. I hope you were not guided to this purchase by a salesperson or vendor. The RF100mm is even better than the EF model it replaces. If the new lens cannot be returned, and you are not already invested in EF/EF-S lenses, you might consider upgrading to a mirrorless body. Believe it or not, It could be less expensive than another lens purchase. In addition, if you do own other EF-EF-S lenses, they could be adapted to a mirrorless body depending on which you might choose. If this is something you might consider and would like some help, let us know.

The Rebel cameras use the EF-S lens mount; sadly, an RF lens can not fit these cameras, and there is no adapter. As the others have pointed out, you need an EF or EF-S lens.

If you want to know more about lens compatibility, I wrote an article about it: https://moonblink.info/MudLake/gear/lenses
