Photography Question

lenses


I'm looking into getting the Canon 50D and since I don't have a ton of money to invest in a camera and a new lens, I'm hoping to be able to get by with the ones I have already. I have 2 canon lenses that I know will work but I have a Tokina lens that I got ages ago when I was shooting film. I haven't had any problems with using it on my XT. Any ideas if it should still work on the 50D?

  Jodi: Yes, it will work if it's an Autofocus lens.

If it was compatible with a film-based EOS camera it's compatible with the 50D. But the equivalent focal length will be 1.6x longer.
