I have an opportunity to pick up the Canon TV zoom lens V6x16 16.5-95mm lens for a good price, but I wanted to make sure it would work with the t2i. Does anyone have any experience with this lens, or anything like it? I've never seen a "TV zoom" lens, and I didn't know if I was getting something I couldn't use. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks!

Also, what kind of adapter would be needed?
 
It probably won't work with your T2i as the flange distance is going to be too short to adapt properly (most likely.) And even if you removed your mirror box and did major surgery on the camera it would likely vignette pretty severely. The only hybrid camera that could probably really effectively use this would be the GH2 with an adaptor, as it can shoot in a super crop mode but still maintain 1080p resolution.
