[QUOTE="Kyomii, post: 153616, member: 7328"] Thankyou Odin_aa for your response :) Firstly the article you mention is really now out of date, since there is another EFS lens now and also the 350D and 20D have EFS mounts ;) However, it is true that you cannot mount an EFS lens on a standard EF mount - but the same lenses are available in both flavours. While I agree there may be problems with the really old manual lenses, generally all the other EF ranges should mount without problem and work without too many issues. Very few people use fully manual lenses nowadays, though, since the automatic lenses give the user the option of both manual and auto focus capabilities. To be honest, too, the price for the old manual lenses is so cheap (well they are up where I am) it is not worth rejecting a camera on the basis that a 30 year old lens may not work with it IMHO. Canon's lens range is wider than Nikon's IMHO - and suits my needs more. I much prefer the out of camera shot from a Canon than a Nikon (have used both). However both Canon and Nikon make good DSLR cameras - it really is horses for courses :) [/QUOTE]
