I have used a 28 Elmarit on a Canon 300D and the exposure was uneven so I think that you may need more input from other users as to whether the 300D is absolutely suitable. For the Canon D60 and 10D the exposure variability does not exist as the cameras can be set manually while on the 300D mores settings are automatically controlled by the camera.
