[QUOTE="Odin_aa, post: 153293, member: 11814"] No disrespect taken. I do not own Canon, my statement is based on people I know who do own canon cameras who state they cannot use old cannon lenses due to a change made in the mounts. I would have to clarify with them, however they may be speaking of the lenses not performing all functions with the DSLR's and not that the lens would not attach to the camera. The following link I found discusses it in length by persons who do use the canon system, in fact it lists several lenses and this factoid: [COLOR=Green] "The EF-S mount on the 300D is FULLY compatible with the EF mount. ALL EF lenses will mount on the 300D. The 300D can ALSO mount Canon's one and only EF-S lens, the 18-55/3.5-5.6. This lens will NOT mount on any other Canon EOS body. So you can put ANY EF lens on any EF or EF-S mount body, but you can only mount an EF-S lens (of which there is only one, the 18-55) on an EF-S body (of which there is only one, the 300D).
