This lens is pretty old, and I am curious if it would work on my 600D.

Some people say it doesn't work with Digital SLRs, but only film SLRs.

But then I found this video: https://youtu.be/gO_vkUwJkfI

This guy is using the Sigma 70-300 DL on a 700D, and everything seems to be working fine, including the AF motor and changing the aperture value.

I can't understand the language the guy is speaking in the video though, so don't know what's exactly going on, but I could see the AF motor moving and him changing the aperture value.

I don't know if it is perfectly compatible with my 600D...

IMHO - yes it will work..........
