Canon lens AE1 in EOS?




Sofia


So, i have a Canon AE1 with several lens, and i was thinking about buying a new Canon, but digital. My problem is that I want a digital Canon that works with my old AE1 lens, and I dont know which model is it.
Thank you for the help ;)



Answer
To use any FD or FL lens on an EOS camera, you will need an adapter.

The adapter will eat about a full stop of light, reduce your camera to a fully manual operating camera and unless you buy an adapter with an optical lens in it, you will not be able to focus on objects that are from about 30 feet to infinity.

Sample adapter. There are many more

This is one reason many of us stress that if you are buying a good used 35 mm camera that if it is a Canon brand, buy an EOS. They cost no more that the basically obsolete Canon 35 mm SLR's made before 1988.

Pentax, Nikon and Minolta (Sony) do not have these problems.

Will a digital rebels lens fit a film rebel???


Answer
Any Canon EF lens will fit on any Canon EOS camera. If you have EF-S lenses, then you will find vignetting on the film when using them.
