Hi all

Are Canon FT (I think that's the correct initials) series lenses
usable w/ 35mm (film) Canon Rebel cameras?

Thanks, Drew

In two words, no, sorry. The Rebel uses the EF mount lens. For info and
specs on every Canon camera, go to the camera museum at www.canon.com .

The Canon FT used the Canon FL mount lens. It has the breech lock bayonet
collar that rotates to lock the lens to the camera. It also has a single pin
at the inside bottom of the lens for aperature stopdown. The later FTb used
the Canon FD mount lenses. These lenses originally had the breech lock
collar, but later models, in an effort to make them quicker to mount,
bayonetted onto the camera body (the collar was no longer a separate ring,
but a fixed part of the lens body). The FD mount had two pins on the back,
one at the bottom like the FL, and a second pin at the 9 o'clock position to
'telegraph' the f/stop to the camera body.

If you (or anyone else) is interested in a Canon EF mount 28-80mm f/3.5-5.6
zoom lens at a good price, please email me offlist ( ).
