Canon EOS Lenses


Does anyone know which lenses fit the Canon EOS 700 mount? I like this camera. The quality and feel are great. I picked it up pretty cheap and in excellent condition. The problem is, I do not know which type mount it has so I can pick out some good auto and manual lenses for it. Can anyone help?

  Any Canon EF lens ever made will work, including those that have Image Stabilization, the TS-E tilt/shift lenses, and the MP-E 1x-5x Macro. Canon has a new line of EF-S lenses intended for their Digital Rebel and 20D/30D/40D DSLRs that cannot be mounted.

Third party lenses made by Sigma/Tamron/Tokina/etc. that are made for Canon Autofocus will also work. While their new "digital" lenses will fit and work, avoid those marked DC (Sigma, but DG is ok), Di II (Tamron, but Di is ok), and DX (Tokina) as these are designed for the smaller digital sensors and will vignette badly on a 35mm film camera.
