Question by Robbie: Do Canon SLR film camera lenses fit on a digital Rebel digital SLR?
I am trying to find a good 50mm lens for my Digital Rebel and see that the film Canon SLR lenses are much cheaper.

Any of the Canon EF and EF-S lenses will work with your Rebel DSLR.

What will NOT work are EF-S lenses on the 1D and 5D series Canon DSLR’s or Canon EOS 35 mm SLR’s

NONE of the Canon FD or older FL lenses are usable with the EOS cameras

For as long as they are the EF Series lenses. However the EFs lens fits only a certain Canon SLR’s.

If the film lenses are much cheaper it probably means they are FD mount. These will not work on the digital Rebels. A lens must be EF or EF-S mount to work on your camera.

If you’re looking for a cheap, good 50mm lens the EF 50mm f/1.8 comes in at around $ 100. The build quality kinda sucks, but the image quality is awesome for the price.
