Title: Canon lense question
Post by: Huntbear on July 08, 2009, 01:18:06 PM: My sister has an older Rebel film camera, with 2 auto focus lenses. Will the older lenses work on the new digital SLRs? Anyway to know?

Bought the digital 40D and found they were not compatible. It needed a chip upgrade. Sigma had done that for awhile but were now out of chips. I sent it to Mray to see if he could use it and it wouldn't work on the 20 either.

as far as lenses go tamron lenses and canon kit lenses work the same in both cameras too...could not vouch for other brands but i would assume they would be ok.
