Can I use my old Canon lenses on a new digital SLR body?
Posted by admin | Under Canon Lenses Sunday Feb 28, 2010I have an old Canon EOS 100 with Ultrasonic zoom lenses. Will I be able to use these on a Canon 350 D, and if so will they perform just as well?
Your EOS 350D will accept any lens of the following series:
- EF: standard lenses (including the ones you used for your EOS 100
- EF/S: lenses designed for Canon digital SLRs
- TSE: Tilt shift lenses
You should normally not need any adapter.
Some older lenses, especially wide angles, do not perform very well on digital cameras. Tele and macro lenses are usually fine.
Your need lens Adapter,
but. the Auto Focus (AF) is not working properly

You can use other lenses, as long as the diameter standars and whether it is screw on or bayonette are the same as your cam.
However, I cannot tell you about the performance, the info provided is quite vague. Rule of thumb, if they were good lenses with your analog camera, they´ll be good with your digital too…

Most of their tests were made with a 350D camera
