Ah , you tried. Things happen. If you can't return it, maybe you can resell it to re-coupe your $.

Yeah, there is too much variety, and you have to know how to translate all those letters and numbers. If they could simply include the word "Crop," it would make life so much simpler.

Thanks, Scruples, for listing those designations. My problem, however, is that I won't remember that info when I'm looking at lenses. It is confusing. I've never understood why there has to be different mounts. The differences are in the camera, not in the lens, right? I overheard a clerk in our local camera store saying that putting a crop frame on a full frame camera will "ruin" the contacts.

"Likewise in using a Nikon 10-24 DX on various FX cameras. Verrrrry handy."
I am doing exactly the same with my 12-24 f4, DX Nikon lens. I find that when I fit it to my D610 I can use it between 18 and 24 mm without vignette.

This is a good argument for buying from B&H or KEH. You can talk to a knowledgeable honest person on the phone first and they’ll take it back under very generous circumstances if it doesn’t work for you. To me that’s worth paying a little more if necessary.

Yikes, what a shock! So that is how Tamron labels CF / APS-C lenses, with "Di II". I have Tamron 18-200mm for my APS-C Pentaxs and it is a Di II. What are their FF ones labeled as? I have very few third party lenses and the ones I do have are all different brands.
It is weird to see a vignetted image. I would get that if I used virtually any of my CF Pentax lenses on my Pentax film cameras. For a number of reasons I mainly buy Pentax vintage or new lenses that are intended for FF or Film Camera use.

Try it with a 1.4x or 1.7x or 2x tele-extender and it might work normally as a longer zoom lens. The focal length and the angle of view are both multiplied, i.e., larger image circle.

I could try that or try to convince my wife I NEED a 7D Mark II. Or I could buy her a SL2 so we can share a hobby.
If I do try to resell this lens, I will list what Canon cameras are compatible.

Some manufacturers are very considerate to those who purchase lenses for their lenses

I have done the same thing. Twice. Bought a 1.4X lens extender from B & H that was not compatible with my camera. Called B & H and they sent me a return label. I did not have to even pay for the return. That's why I always buy from the trusted dealers.

I promise to wash my cell phone in the toilet the next time it spell corrects or word changes my text.

I am in contact with the merchant. I should be able to return this lenses. Since I’m not an eBay seller I may asks friends if they want it or list it here in UHH.

I purchased nearly all of my camera equipment via EBAY and sold equipment there also. Before I buy anything I research the snot out of it starting with the manufacturer web site, review sites, big name camera retailers, rental houses then lastly EBAY. By the time I search on EBAY I know what it looks like, what it's compatible with and new, refurbished and used prices. I review EBAY listing photos and written details carefully and review the seller's reputation. Due diligence has paid me large dividends.

Interesting thought about getting an SL2. I have an older SL1 and 18-135mm lens that I've taken with me all over the world. I generally shoot with a full-size, these days a Nikon D850, but acquired the Canon some years ago specifically so that I could have a small package for mostly-business travel where my full kit would be inappropriate. Get the SL2, you'll likely be very happy. And, you already have a lens for it!!!!
