What lenses can you use with Canon AE-1?

The AE-1 has a Canon FD breech-lock lens mount and accepts any FD or New FD (FDn) lens. It is not compatible with Canon’s later Canon EF lens mount, though adapters made by independent manufacturers can be found. The camera will also accept Canon’s earlier FL-mount lenses through the use of stop-down metering.

Will my old Canon lenses work with a digital SLR?

Canon. Any Canon “EF” lens made after 1987 will fit any Canon digital SLR, but none of the old “FD” mount lenses made before 1987 will fit. If you have an RF mirrorless camera, you can choose the newer RF lenses or older EF lenses with an adaptor. Both lens ranges are excellent.

How long does a DSLR lens last?

Are all Canon lens interchangeable?

APS-C cameras, which are the bulk of the DSLRs that Canon offers, can use virtually all modern lenses: both EF and EF-S. Meanwhile, full frame and APS-H size sensor cameras are a bit more limited, to EF lenses only. There are also many third party lenses made in the EF mount.

What is the difference between EFS and EF lenses?

Put simply, Canon EF-S lenses are designed solely for use on Canon APS-C DSLRs. Canon EF lenses are designed to work with full frame and APS-C DSLRs from Canon. Canon EF-S lenses have a smaller image circle that is only big enough to cover the smaller sensor found on Canon APS-C cameras.

Can I use an EF lens on an EF-S camera?

The short answer to your question is yes, an EF lens can be used on a crop-sensor (EF-S) Canon camera. The longer answer is that EF-S lenses are designed for crop-sensor lenses, the ‘s’ denotes a smaller image circle, but it’s otherwise a compatible mount.

Which Canon cameras have EF mount?

Can you use EF lenses on EOS R?

The standard Mount Adapter EF-EOS R allows EF-S and EF lenses to be used on EOS R cameras seamlessly. Photographers who already have a collection of EF-S or EF optics can invest in the EOS R System confidently, knowing their existing lenses will work as expected.

Is EF mount dead?

Since the only recently-released A-mount item being an A-mount to E-mount adapter, we can somewhat say that “Yeah, A-mount is dead.” In 2019, Canon said they’d take a year from putting resources into the EF range and spend 2019 solely focusing on the RF line.
