Apprentice

I recently for the Rebel T8i camera to take intraoral photos. 

We also purchased the RF 100 mm F2.8 L Macro IS USM lens for the intraoral photos. 

This Macrolens does no fit this camera. 

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

Thanks,

Richard

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
