Canon Film SLR and lenses

[Colin RedGriff]

Hi

I have a Canon 350d plus

Sigma
28-70mm
70-300mm 4/5.6
18-50mm F2.8 (digital only)

Canon
50mm
70-200L f4

I might have to buy a film body for a photography course and so want one that will work with the lenses I have. Will any EOS film camera work? I'm aware that the digital specific lenses won't work due to the difference between sensor and film size.

Just looking for something reasonably cheap second hand, preferably with AF.

Thanks

I can't answer that directly, but I had an old 1000F with a couple of lenses. I tried them on my 350D, one worked the other didn't.

I don't know about the really old bodies, but anything reasonably recent will have the EF mount, which will mean you can use any EF mount lens (basically anything except the digital only EF-S lenses).

You can pick up something like an EOS 300V body on ebay for around £30, and I'd have thought that this would be ideal.

As long as they are EF lenses (the Canon ones are, can't speak for the others but they probably are) they will work with any EOS camera. EF-S lenses only work with certainly DSLRs and no film SLRs.

For a cheap canon EOS body i would highly recommend an EOS 600. Back in its day it was a cracking camera and even now a joy to use. Good AF, 5fps motor drive and build quality of a tank!!

I picked up a really nice example not so long ago off ebay for the grand total of £8 I was a tiny bit lucky, but even so they only really fetch about the 20-30 quid mark

[poah]

they will all work on an EF film camera but the 18-50 digital lens will leave big black corners.

I have a 3000V (think it's just the duty-free version of the 300V) in the loft, hardly used. PM me if you are interested.
