Old Canon Lenses
Hi all
I have come accross my old Canon EOS 1000, probably an early 90s model. What is has with it is a 35-70mm lens and 70-210mm lens both auto focus and are EF lens. Can these be used with the modern Canon DSLRs? If so will look at selling them or grabing an old 30 or 40D. Thanks in anticipation. |

Thanks in anticipation. Yes, they will work on dSLRs. The consumer-grade dSLRs have smaller sensors than the older 35mm cameras, so the lenses will behave as though they were longer, about 55-110 and 110-330, respectively. So your pair of lenses becomes a "normal to extreme close-up" setup, instead of a "wide to close up" one. -Joel http://www.flickr.com/photos/joelmhoffman/ |

My Canon fd lenses work fine. Is that via mechanical adapter on a 4/3 DSLR camera or are you still using them on an old FD mount Canon film SLR camera? It's details like I've asked you to provide (above) which make all the difference. The real answer is that all of the EOS EF lenses (which is basically all EOS lenses, bar a couple designed to only work with 1.6x crop cameras and designated as EF-S) will work on all of the EOS mount cameras, including the Kodak SLR/C http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kodak_DCS_Pro_SLR/c. |
