Canon Lens I am buying a Canon Rebel XS SLR. I believe this is an EOS series. It already has a 35-80mm lens (I think) on it. (It's on its way here) My question is: What type of lens will fit this camera. There are so many Canon lens on eBay, that I'm not sure which one I can buy for this camera. Does a Canon FD, EOS... or well, there's all kinds of lens on eBay and I wanted to check them out. Which ones will fit my new camera? Thank you, Vicki

The Rebel XS is one of Canon's EOS autofocus cameras. All EOS cameras use the Canon EF lens mount which has 100% electrical connections. They cannot use any other lens mount. Look for Canon EF lenses, or Sigma, Tamron, Tokina,... lenses made for the EOS or EF mount. Canon FD mount lenses are manual focus only and have a mechanical link to the camera. FD mount lenses can only be used with Canon's older lines of manual focus cameras: F series (Ftb, F-1,...), A series (A-1, AE-1, AE-1 Program,...), and T series (T70, T90,...).

I agree with Jon! For best results it is desirable to use Canon EF lenses. You may also subscribe to EOS Magazine published from UK that is dedicated to EOS cameras. This magazine offers help, tips on all EOS cameras and a great source of info. May look up eos-magazine.com. But I prefer the print magazine!
