Camera Lenses Canon

I am new to Digital Slrs and am looking to get a zoom lens..I own a canon rebel eos xt. I have been looking around on ebay and am not sure what would work w/ my camera.

For starters, FD lenses will not work on any EOS cameras.

All EF lenses will work on EOS cameras

EF-S lenses will only work on APS-C sensored DSLR's .... If you own a EOS 35 mm SLR or a 5D or 1D DSLR, the EF-S lenses will damage the mirror

Discover which DSLR lenses are best for your photography. This tutorial will introduce you to landscape lenses, action lenses, creative lenses and ...

I really take all types of photography, landscape, action, portraits, and I am unsure of what lens to upgrade to. I use a canon and have been looking at macro lenses but also like wide angle and telephoto. I am looking to spend up to 800, but for the right lens can go a bit higher. This will be my first upgrade of lenses I currently have a 28-135mm/18-55mm/55-250mm.

Canon 10-22mm is a good wide angle lens for landscpe that fit to your budget

I have a Canon EOS Rebel X S film camera which I bought around 1996. Is it possible to use the auto focus lenses from this camera on a newer, digital Canon? I do not see anywhere on the camera body or the lenses where it says either FD or EF, so unless you can tell me where to find these markings, that won't help. Thanks in advance for your help.

The Rebel (and generally the EOS line) all use EF lenses, the same as all the new digital cameras from Canon.

So if you can mount your lens onto your EOS Rebel XS Film, you'll be able to mount it on any new digital Rebel, 10D-50D, 5D mk1/2, 1D(s)(mk1-3), etc. And if you want on their 1V film body too.

i have a series of camera lenses i used w/my canon A1. I am considering acquiring a newer model of canon's digital EOS cameras. i don't w/c model would be best that i can use my old canon lenses with.

Unfortunately, your A1 uses the Canon FD lens mount. Canon abandoned that lens mount for the EOS lens mount when they introduced their auto focus 35mm cameras in 1985. The EOS mount is used on all Canon DSLR cameras.

However, Canon did offer an adapter to use the FD mount lenses on the EOS mount bodies. You should be able to find one at:

There is also an adapter to allow use of the Minolta MC/MD mount lenses on the Canon EOS mount bodies. (Minolta also changed their lens mount in 1985 when they introduced their AF camera. The A-mount of the Minolta Maxxum 7000 is used by Sony DSLR cameras today).

Please remember that using those older lenses will require manual focusing and likely "stop down" metering since there will be no contacts between the lens and camera body to allow auto metering.

I have a Canon S51S. I also have a few lenses that are for my older non digital Canon camera and want to know is there is an adapter to attach my Canon zoom EF 75-300mm (from the older model) to the S515. I have seen adapters on the Canon site but am not sure if that is JUST for the extra lenses that they do for the S51S on the site.
Many thanks

EF Lenses won't mount on the Canon S5 IS camera.

There are a few adapters that they make specifically for it. (A teleconverter, wide angle adapter, and close up or macro adapter.) Those are what you see on the Canon Website under the S5 IS page.
