The title that ebay gave this is a bit wrong, because this lens is also for the XT, Rebel, and 30D (as of this writing). Basically anything that fits the EF-S mount.
I just love, love, love this lens. I only wish they made this in EF mount, because that is where I'm heading body wise. Currently this has the closest focusing distance of the canon line-up. This lens is SUPER sharp. I use this lens for macro work on bugs and flowers. I'll also use it to do some aquarium work, since I can basically put the lens to the glass and remove any sort of reflections and distortion. The reason why I list that as a benefit is because of the focusing distance. If I were to have another lens, I would have to back away from the glass for the lens to focus on the subject. USM is very fast and accurate. I will say that when doing macro work, you need a steady hand, bump up the speed, or use a tripod. You can definitely see your hand shake in the viewfinder. It also has very nice bokeh.
Final verdict: This lens is one of my favorite, and is worth the money.
