Canon EOS EF-S Lenses
Am I correct about the new EF-S series working only on the newest digital
cameras such as the Digital Rebal and the D20 and that those lenses won't work on the earlier models such as the 30D? -- Israel Rodriguez http://www.tehawk.com http://home.earthlink.net/~tehawk |

nk.net: Am I correct about the new EF-S series working only on the newest digital cameras such as the Digital Rebal and the D20 and that those lenses won't work on the earlier models such as the 30D? That's entirely correct. The EF-S lenses will first and foremost project an image onto the sensor that is not much bigger than the 20D/300D sensor, and if you managed to get it attached to a different camera you would loose some of the image area. However, the lens also extends further into the camera than EF lenses, running the risk of being in the way for the mirror when it slaps up. The might be some protrusions on the lens to make sure it cannot be affixed to a non-EF-S camera but you shouldn't try. If the lens stops the mirror you might ruin the mirror and scratch the innermost lens element. At the moment there are only a few EF-S lenses and compatible cameras: Canon EF-S 18-55mm F/3.5-5.6 Canon EF-S 17-85mm F/4-5.6 IS USM Canon EF-S 10-22mm F/3.5-4.5 USM I think there's a USM version of the 18-55mm lens too, shipped with the 300D in japan (if I remember correctly they came out with a new 300D package with the new lens, but nothing else different), but this could be incorrect. Only the Canon 20D and 300D support these lenses at the moment. -- Lasse Vågsæther Karlsen http://www.vkarlsen.no/ PGP KeyID: 0x0270466B |

Yes--that was the kit lens for the Digital KISS. But the USM version of the lens is the one that's being sold independently now. (if I remember correctly they came out with a new 300D package with the new lens, but nothing else different)... Huh? When did "they" do that? __________________________________________________ ______________________ Louise Bremner (log at gol dot com) If you want a reply by e-mail, don't write to my Yahoo address! |

Canon still state that the EF-S 18-55mm lens is not available without either a 300D or 20D. I have seen some retailers splitting up the kits (at least one case was to sell the body only when they didn't have a kit in stock) and selling the lens unboxed. I've not heard of any official Canon boxed EF-S 18-55mm lenses. The other 2 EF-S lenses (See above) which Canon are selling are both USM, and these are available separately in official Canon boxes. (if I remember correctly they came out with a new 300D package with the new lens, but nothing else different)... Huh? When did "they" do that? The 'new' black 300D kit in the UK comes with the USM lens just like the Digital Kiss. I assume its the same with the US version of the black 300D. Incidentally, this isn't a Ring USM lens, so no FTM and not much of a speed increase/noise reduction from the basic kit lens. David |

Yes, you are correct. There are however various modification instructions
for these lenses (e.g. http://www.bobatkins.com/photography...s/efs-10d.html).
