Canon D30 lens question
I've seen some 18-55 EF-S lenses at auction that say that they fit only the
Digital Rebel and D20. If true, what is the reason they wouldn't fit a D30? Thanks Bill

Thanks Bill The rear element of the EF-S lenses extends slightly farther into the body than the regular EF mount lenses, interfering with the movement of the mirror. The RebelD and the 20D have slightly smaller mirrors than the other EF mount cameras. EF mount lenses will work with all the digital Canon bodies, but the EF-S is limited. In other words, all of the lenses that I've used on my A2, 1n and D30 will work on my 20D, but the 18-55 that we got with my wife's 20D will only work on that body. -- Skip Middleton http://www.shadowcatcherimagery.com

If I understand Mark correctly. -- Ben Rosengart (212) 741-4400 x215 Sometimes it only makes sense to focus our attention on those questions that are equal parts trivial and intriguing. --Josh Micah Marshall
