SLR/DSLR EOS lens compatibility

I have several goals that were used with model Canon EOS 750 photo 35mm film SLRs. These lenses will work with all current Canon EOS DSLR models (or models of digital SLR cameras is no longer produced, but I might be able to buy used)?

Thank you.

Since your previous camera was a 35mm film camera he used lenses that produce a large enough 'circle image' inside the housing of the device.   The image had to be large enough to completely cover the image of 35mm film.

On a digital camera, a 'full frame' sensor body (for example a 6 d, 5 d or more bodies 1 d) have sensors that are the size of a 35 mm negative film image.

The lenses that project this image circle large suitable for use on any camera EOS 35mm or camera ' film' 'digital' full frame EOS are called "EF" series lenses (they are always "EOS" lenses... but they have a prefix of model... as 'EF 50 mm f/1.4 USM' - notice the "EF" in front of the name.)

Canon EOS series "EF" lenses can be used on ANY Canon "EOS" body - that it's a movie or a digital body and the functions will not work.  for example if it's an autofocus lens so the autofocus will not work.  The camera will be able to control the aperture settings, etc.  You can consider these "EF" lenses as being universal in all EOS bodies.

But there is another sensor size which is extremely frequent.

All cameras series 'Rebel', as well as all the cameras of intermediate level (20 d, 30 d, 40 d, 50 d, 60 d and 70 d) as well as the 7 d, all use of "APS - C" sized sensors.  This sensor is about the size of a single image of "Advanced Photo System" - Classic film of size, which is a little smaller than 35mm film.   The sensor is smaller, they have the ability to use a lens that projects a small image circle.

These cameras can use lenses that project a small circle of image because they have a smaller sensor size.  Cannon made a series of lenses for these smaller sensors.  Here's the "EF-S" series lenses  You will know that their name becauase a "EF-S" prefix as "EF-S 18-55 mm f/3.5-5.6 STM" (note the "EF-S" prefix in front of the name).  These lenses are able to take advantage of the cost savings, because lentils do not need to project a large image circle.

While all the organs of "Rebel" and all intermediate level (except the 10 d) agencies may "EF-s lenses", they can ALSO use "EF" lenses (don't forget... "EF" lenses are universal to all Canon EOS bodies).    The 10 d is the only exception, but it is a very old camera and has not been in production for years.

  • EOS lens Registration Tool

    What is the registration of EOS lens tool?

    I suspect he was part of a recent update my software of Canon.  When it is enabled, it will not start and says that my XSi camera is not recognized.  The EOS Utility recognizes the camera.

    It is a full frame or a newer model or version of the Canon camera?

    Thank you.  A lot of good information here.

    Canon EOS Rebel XSi

    EF - S 17-55 f2.8 IS USM

    It is for the newer model cameras. It allows the lens correction data must be downloaded to the camera.

  • The lens compatibility

    I found the threads associated with DSLR targets on a DSLR but see nothing on through different models of digital SLR lenses.  If this has already been answered, please direct me to the appropriate thread.

    I have an EOS 20 d.  I would like to get some more recent body but don't want to have to get new lenses.  The lenses I have for the 20 d will work on all EOS XXD models?

    I'll throw in a warning that was not mentioned.

    IF you have 3rd party... lenses turns that Canon does not publish specifications for the electronics of the EOS.  These 3 parties have reconstitute the interface in order to build a compatible lens.  They tend to test these lenses with any Canon body are currently on the market at that time.

    Just sometimes... Canon will come out with a new body of EOS and the 3rd part of goal maker (and it's customers, unfortunately) will discover that the lens is no longer compatible with the 'new' body.  Canon has nothing wrong... they are still following the same features... but it means work the 3rd party reverse-eningeering na not cover all cases and the new camera is taking advantage of certain features that the 3rd party never tested.  Some 3rd party lenses one be returned to manufacturers to have their electronics reprogrammed or updated for compatible (but not always... sometimes you are just out of luck.)

    If you have all the glass cannon... you won't have this problem.

    As to the compatibility of Canon...

    Canon lenses come in the following flavors:

    EF lenses: these lenses will work on ALL Canon EOS body... few matter where it was made, film or digital, is not serious.  They work.

    EF-S-objectives: these lenses are designed for use on the body of EOS who have APS - C size sensors.  The APS - C sensor is a little smaller than the 'full frame' sensor (it is a sensor that is roughly the same size as a single image on 35mm film).  A sensor APS - C being physically smaller, the EF-S lens is designed to project a small circle of image into the body of the camera. This allows the lenses to be smaller and lighter, and usually also less expensive... but the tradeoff is that they cannot be used on any camera body that has a 'full frame' sensor

    EF - M lenses: Canon introduced (and seems to have already abandoned, at least in North American markets) a camera 'mirrorless' in the EOS System.  This camera was called the EOS - M.  You can not buy more.  But in all cases, the came with just a couple of lenses designed JUST for this particular camera body (but the camera can also use other EOS lenses.)  The EF - M lenses can ONLY be used on the EOS - M body.

    The TS-E objectives: these are specialty lenses that can change image perspective as well as the focal plane of inclination.  You can think of them as the "EF" lenses, they can be used on ANY Canon EOS body.

    MP-E objective: it is a 'photo macro' specialized goal.  Canon made a number of macro lenses.  A macro lens allows including close close focus and most of the 'real' macro lenses will allow you to focus at a distance close enough to provide 1 x scale - which means that the image on the sensor is too great that the topic is in "real life."  But with a normal macro lens, you can also focus all the way to infinity.  The MP-E 65mm is special... it's "closer" focus distance is so incredibly close he can capture subjects at 5 x size (instead of size 1 x of the other macro lenses).  But the trade-off is that the lens focuses all the way to the 'infinite '.   No other camera company made a lens like him.  The MP-E lens can be used on ANY Canon EOS body.

  • The zoom lens compatibility

    I have an EOS REBEL G and want to know if a vivitar 75-205 macro zoom lens 22005946 No. is going to work on it.

    If you are looking at a manual focus zoom Vivitar 75-205mm F3. 8 - f4.8... This was done for the old Canon FD lens mount used on FTb, AE-1, a-1, F-1, etc. of the cameras... Serial number #22xxxxxxx you mention strongly suggests he is a FD lens, made by Kiron for Vivitar. If this is the case, it's probably a very nice lens, but...

    No, which cannot be used on any EOS camera (film or digital). These all use the modern EF mount.

    I did a search and did not find any Vivitar 75-205mm in the modern mount. So I think that what you're watching is the old FD mount and the answer is 'no' (this is probably why it's so cheap).

    EDIT: there is a 75-300mm lens Canon EF that sells expensive and will work on a g of rebels. It is not the best lens optically or for general performance, but it is one of the lowest cost since this seems to be your biggest concern. This can be purchased for as little as $115 (http://www.amazon.com/Canon-EF-III-Telephoto-Packaging/dp/B00GEE8I1Y/ref=sr_1_4?ie=UTF8&qid=13910997...). You might be able to find it for less used.

  • EOS LENS ADAPTER KIT M

    I have several EOS ELAN for old SLR LENSES and a new digital EOS M. Is there an adapter for old to adapt to the new?

    There is a card called the "Mount Adapter EF - EOS M ' and you can find that it listed as an accessory of camera on this page:

    http://www.USA.Canon.com/Cusa/support/consumer/eos_slr_camera_systems/eos_digital_slr_cameras/eos_m _...

    However, Canon offers more EOS - M in the North America market.  This means that you would look for dealers who still have this in stock.

  • Camcorder LEGRIA HF - G30 with WD-H58W lens compatibility.

    Hi all, I own a camcorder Legria HF - G10 with a converter WD-H58W wide-angle lens.

    Now, I want to change my cam with the Legria HF - new G30.

    Will I can continue using the WD-H58W camcorder HF - G30 or I have to buy the lens of WA - H58 as suggested on the Canon Website?

    Thank you.

    Hi all, I just received a response from support official Canon on the question I posted here: they say that camcorder HF - G30 and WD-H58W converter are not compatible, so if I'm going to buy HF - G30 I buy WA - H58 converter.

    WD-H58W converter works only with the HF - G10 camcorder, they say.

    Thank you all and consider better.

  • T6 EOS software... Am I missing something?

    I just bought a T6 (1 DSLR) last week. I managed to download the EOS utility on my phone without problem... I was under the impression that there is an EOS Utility for Mac also, but I am unable to find it. When I went to the page of the specific software of T6, I can only find the Firmware updates.

    Can anyone shed some light on this for me?

    Thank you.

  • On the EOS 60 d is the LCD display of the screen by default for aiming/development/taken view photo?

    When I turn on the camera and press the 'camera' button I can only see my scene through the LCD - the viewfinder is dark. If I press the button of the camera again, the viewfinder opens. Have I not the wrong preset somewhere?

    When you press the camera icon you activate mode live view, which shows what sees the camera on the LCD screen.

    Use traditional viewinder camera do not press this button.

  • FD lenses, on the EOS 1v film camera?

    Here's a weird one for you: the F1N organs begin to cost more than the EOS 1v bodies. Using the adapter that mates a FD lens to a digital cam body; is - someone put a FD on the EOS 1v? Would it still work? Or do I just much too much time on my hands? Thank you!

    Adaptation of FD to a 1V EOS lenses has the same exact problems as adapt a FD lens to any camera digital EOS.

    The lens mount to the sensor/film on an EOS camera distance is less [more] than a FD camera. This means that any kind of simple adapter won't work. The adapter needs an optical to correct element distance different, since most of the available adapters are cheaply made with poor optics, you're much better off having bought an EOS lens than a FD lens and an adapter.

    There are a few end higher FD lenses which are an exception, they can be converted to EOS Monte.

    http://fdtoef.com/

    These conversions were initially proposed by Ed Mika. I don't know if it sold the design, or if the seller above is the same person.

  • Trigger voltage for former strobes on the new digital cameras

    Can someone tell me what's the trigger voltage TO a Canon SX50 HS point & shoot, My Sunpack 611

    (4800 OSP) has about 43vdc on contacts at full load, it will be something frying?

    I'm afraid I have no idea what can handle a SX50...

    I know that the older Canon SLR and perhaps the first DSLRs have been noted only for 6 volts. SLR digital current Canon are valued at 250 volts, at least since the period of 40 days, I think. Maybe sooner, but I do not know at what time, Canon has improved the SLR/DSLR line to manage a higher voltage.

    Point n shoot, however, I have no idea and don't know where to find them. You could try emailing support Canon directly. (This forum occasionally sees Canon reps and technicians down, but are mainly Canon users and fans to help each other better possible.)

    There is a Web site that shows the flash firing voltages, but which is absolutely not a complete list or a severe test of those on the list. It lists the Sunpak 611, but shows a later, a trial to have the trigger voltage of 4 volts, then as an older one was much higher at 190 volts. (I assume that you have measured your own with a VOM 611).

    So, I'm not really help a lot. Check Canon support about the features of your camera trigger voltage. If you are always worried about it, you can use something like a Wein SafeSync to protect the camera from the excessive trigger voltage. Or use the flash off camera with a radio trigger (but be aware that radio triggers often have a limit of trigger voltage, too... some I recently watched are evaluated at 24 or 30 volts).

  • I walk Canon D5 mark iii and Nikon D800E

    I've been with Canon products for 30 years on SLR & DSLR camera and video... And now look forward to the Nikon DSLR camera... As Nikon D800E full frame DSLR... Please give me an advice.

    I could buy a D800 when it first came out, so I did a lot of research on Nikon lenses & unfortunately there isn't any whatsoever of Nikon or Tamron / Sigma that could meet my needs. As much as I would like more pixels, so I can crop more deep, I still have to vaccinate all first. We have all different needs & although I don't like what the brand of the body people shoot with a camera body is useless without lenses to meet the specific needs of users.

  • How to make the background blur when shooting a video?

    Hello, I would like to know how to make a blur background during the filming of a video DO NOT take pictures.

    I use a Powershot SX500 IS

    I don't see any way to do this with a camera type point.  The only way you will get the result desired is using a digital SLR and a lens with an aperture of F1.8 or less if possible, but a 1.8 should be sufficient for most needs.
