I own the lens and the xti. I've tried to use the lens but get an error window 01 "communications between the camera and lens is faulty. Clean the lens contacts." If the 2 items are compatible, how do I clean the lens contacts?

Hi,

The lens are new ? If they are new, try clean the bayonet (camera mount) contacts with isopropyl alcohol, but be careful not to affect the mirror or any other part (use a clean cotton tissue with isopropyl alcohol). You can do this also to the lenses, being careful not to affect anti reflection treatment.

In other words, the lens is fully compatible with your rebel xti, so you shouldn't have any problems at all in normal circumstances.
