Question about 35mm Canon Rebel and lenses…?
I own a 35mm Canon Rebel. I am looking on ebay at a few Canon lenses and wanted to know if I could use them on my Rebel. I don’t mind if they are manual, I just want to make sure I can use them.
First of all, what lens designations do I need to look for to make sure I can use the lens with a 35mm Rebel?
Second, will the lenses for an AE-1 Program fit my Rebel?
Third, will a Canon 35mm Camera Lens 200mm 1:35 work with my Rebel?
Thanks for any help.
The 200mm lens is a manual lens. I am not sure how old it is.
Will the 200mm manual lens work on the AE-1 Program?
If your talking about the film Rebel then EF lenses will work. If your talking about a digital Rebel the EF and EF-s lenses will work. For third party you will look for things like “EOS”, “Canon Autofocus”, “Canon Digital” (for digital Rebel), and the like.
Lenses off the AE-1 and other FD class cameras will not work on the Rebel. Canon made some changes and even an adapter won’t yield good results. Avoid FD, FL, and Canon Manual lenses.
The 200 3.5 will work as long as it’s an EF lens, not an FD or FL lens.
Here is what a bayonet mount looks like http://www.flickr.com/photos/davidleetong/2535172271/ (not my image). Look at the part that mates with the camera. That’s what you want. Not a silver-ish ring that the FD lenses have.
