Canon Lenses...

Okay, so here's what I'd like to know.  I'd like to get myself a VERY nice Canon camera, and I guess what I'm wondering is this... My mother has a Canon Rebel 35mm camera, and has extra lenses...  If I were to get a Canon Rebel camera, would her lenses work on my camera?  If not, is there an adapter or something that can be bought to do so?  I just don't want to spend money on lenses if hers will work, and then that way, I can spend more money on the camera itself!  Thanks for the feedback!

Are they autofocus lenses? If they are EF or EF-S mounts, they will work on new Canon DSLRs's.

  • Do the older 'film SLR' third party EF lenses work with new Canon DSLR's

    I have an old film EOS Rebel G with two lenses (Sigma 28-80 Macro) & (70-300 Quantaray 1:4-5.6 LDO Macro).
    I got away from the SLR style camera several years ago and am now looking to take the plunge again as the quality of the point and shoot and smart phones can't compare.
    I tested both of these lenses on a friend of mine's Canon T3i.  The lenses would not auto focus.  I thought since his camera had the 'red dot' mount they would function but they would only work as a manual focus.  My initial thought was that his camera is really designed to support the EF-S style lens that that is why it could not auto-focus.
    Am I truly out of luck or will some of the higher end (full frame) DSLR's support the auto focus features of these lenses?  Or do the new Canon's not support older third party lenses?
    Thanks,
    Chris

    Hi New2dslr,
    While older Canon EF lenses work with our new cameras, we can't be certain with third party lenses.  If modifications for the lenses are not available from their respective manufacturers, I recommend investing in some good quality Canon lenses..

  • What canon film cameras work with modern digital camera lenses

    I want to pick up a film camera (cheaply, I hope) that will work with my recent vintage canon lenses  (the type I use on a canon D1iii).
    Anyone clue me in on what would work (or what to avoid?)

    Any Canon EOS body can use any Canon EF lens.
    If you're looking for something in the vein of your 1D Mk III, you might want a 1-series film body. Otherwise the EOS 3 is comparable in build to the 5D/7D, relatively affordable, and widely available on the used market. Cheaper bodies abound if you just want to get light onto film, but the handling and build quality suffers... if you're accustomed to your 1D, you may find the Rebel line frustrating.

  • A7rii EFCS and Canon+adapter lenses: Work ok? Manual seems to indicates "no".

    From the a7rii's full 324 page owner's manual, topic 172: 1. MENU → (Custom Settings) → [e-Front Curtain Shut.] → desired setting. Note:When a lens made by another manufacturer (including a Minolta/Konica-Minoltalens) is used, set this function to [Off]. If you set this function to [On], thecorrect exposure will not be set or the image brightness will be uneven. This seems to indicate that with a non-Sony lens (such as Canon + adapter), the Front Curtain Shutter may not operate correctly. This Sony newbie has the understanding that "shutter shock" is greatly reduced or eliminated with EFSC (electronic first curtain shutter). I'm expecting to be able to use my Canon EF lenses with a FotodioX adapter on my pre-ordered a7rii and have little or no "shutter shock" issues. Are my expectations unrealistic? Are EFCS and "electronic front curtain" different? I'm mostly ignorant on how Sony cameras work. I wouldn't think the way the shutter operates would depend on what lens was attached, but what do I know? Have new owners with delivered a7rii & Canon lenses found "shutter shock" to be a non-issue? Is so, what settings are appropriate? What about "legacy lenses"?  

    Good question. The way the shutter on the A7R II works is this. The A7R II, and most modern interchangeable lens cameras, provide a Live View that comes from the image projected onto the main image sensor, which means that the shuttter is open. When you fully depress the shutter button, the first shutter curtain closes and immediately opens again, starting the exposure. When the exposure time has elapsed, the second curtain closes, ending the exposure, and immediately reopens to provide the Live View. That's a lot of movement that can cause the "shutter shock" which can cause other issues. The Electronic Front Curtain Shutter option foregoes the movement of the first curtain, instead using an electronic shutter to start the exposure, which will lessen the movement and the "shutter shock". While the mechanical curtain must physically move across the sensor, which takes some small but measurable amout of time to do, the electronic shutter is instantaneous. As a result of using the EFCS, the top of the frame may be exposed a tiny bit longer (probably 1/2000 second or so) than the bottom of the frame, which is why that cautionary note appears inthe Instruction Manual. I have no idea why it would not happen with Sony lenses but would with any other lenses, but there it is. What I can say is that, if you're using relatively slow shutter speeds (1/250 or slower), you probably wouldn't notice it. And if you're using flash, you couldn't see it because when using a flash, the exposure is dependant not on the timing of the shutters but on the duration of the flash. I suggest that, if the "shutter shock" is an issue for you, try the EFCS with your adapted lenses and see how it works.

  • Is anyone else having problems with the Canon Online Store?

    In the last month or so, I've had one problem after another with the Canon Online Store; from being unable to delete items from the shopping cart; to not being able to add "in stock" items; disappearing Wish Lists; and just now, I tried to add one lens cap to the 6 or 7 items I already had in the Shopping Cart, and they disappeared.
    I've called, more than once, and I've written, also more than once, to Canon Support about this, but they ignore what I tell them, and tell me there are no problems with the Online Store.  They don't even seem to report to anyone that anyone has complained, because each time is "the first time", even though I've called (more than once) and written (more than once) to them about continuing Online Stores problems.
    Is anyone else having problems with the Canon Online Store?
    Why does Canon not care to track reported problems with the storefront part of their web-site? 
    I'm not trying to insult Canon, it's just that I've been a Canon customer for less than 3 months, and the're only batting .333, so far.  Canon Support was very quick to respond about a concern I had that a 50mm f/1.4 I had just purchased was authentic or not.  In trying to register that lens, I looked up on the Canon web site where to find the serial number.  Since my new lens did not have any numbers there, I was concerned I had been sold a fake.  But, then Canon Support sent me link to a different online document that showed a few different places where it might be, and there it was. 
    Is Canon like that with other problems, as well?  Or is their "batting" average better than my very limited experience? 
    I just love my Rebel T5i, and my Canon lenses (from "the Kit brothers of the Cropped Frame coral":  EF-S 18-55mm f/3.5-5.6 IS STM, and EF-S 70-300mm f/4-5.6 IS USM; to the "Truly Nifty Fifty", the 50mm f/1.4 USM, [the f/1.8 is just a "thrifty fifty"], and finally, the "Super-Macro" MP-E 65mm f/2.8 1x-5x Macro)!

    Hi Danny.  Thanks for replying.
    I only use my desktop PC to access Canon's web site, and I've been using Mozilla Firefox for years.  And, yes, it is the latest version.  Since Canon REFUSES to support the use of Firefox on it's web site, WHAT BROWSER DOES CANON SUPPORT?  WHEN did Canon STOP SUPPORTING Firefox?
    I've been told that there are 2 pending orders in my account.  Yet, I NEVER placed those orders!  WHY CAN'T CANON SEE THAT THIS IS A PROBLEM??? 
    Instead of off-target suggestions, and pasted boilerplate REFUSALS TO EVEN LOOK at this issue, I would prefer it if Canon went "old school", and FIXED THE PROBLEM, in the first place!  But, maybe that's a bit too grown up of an answer for you! 
    "Award-winning" support???   And, just exactly WHAT AWARD did Canon "support" WIN for CONSISTANTLY IGNORING REPORTED PROBLEMS???  The OSTRICH?
    Please pull your head out, and FIX this problem, OR YOU ARE THE PROBLEM!!!
    Thank you for your "prompt" attention to this matter!

  • Canon 5D Mark III profile not found in Lens correction filter in PhotoShop CS6

    I'm unable to find a profile for my Canon 5D Mark III within the PS CS6 lens correction filter.  In fact, Canon isn't even available as a camera make option within the Search Criteria box, nor are any canon lenses.  When I click the Search Online button, the prompt reads "No online profiles found".  Thankfully, I have no problem within Lightroom 4 (the Mark III and lenses are recognized)-- however, I'd really like to be able to use the new Adaptive Wide Angle Lens filter within CS6, which needs the camera's EXIF data to function correctly.  I'm using a new iMac OS X.7
    Thanks in advance for any help that you may have to offer.

    So that makes me wonder if Lightroom keeps its own Lens Correction folder and if so,perhaps you can copy its Canon folder to Photoshop CS6's lens correction folder.
    If you still cannot find it,you can create your own custom profile or download it if it's already been posted.
    This article should direct you to the profiler and downloader software. You will need to install Adobe Air to use the Adobe Lens Profile Downloader.

  • (Windows) Premiere cs4 with Canon 5D Mark II

    I'm seriously considering buying Adobe's Production Premium, but I am extremely concerned about Premiere's support for the files outputted by my Canon 5D Mark II, h264 .mov 1920x1080p 30fps.
    I've done a lot of research and it seems as if a lot of folks with a lot more experience, better hardware components and 3rd party software packages haven't been able to find a workflow that is reasonable in terms of effort and time required just to get a project going.
    Can anyone give me a reason why I shouldn't seriously consider moving to an Apple solution with FCP Studio over production premium cs4 with premiere and after effects?
    Thanks for your honest opinions!

    If you want to stay on PC, would be the main reason.
    I dont know how well FCP handles it; but typically fcp converts everything to an intermediate format (pro res)
    I am definitely cringing at the thought of ditching all of my PC components (well, I suppose I can re-use the hard-drives at least in the Mac Pro if that's what I get). I do like a lot about windows, and being able to upgrade my stuff to my own liking rather than being stuck in a closed ecosystem. I also game a lot so that's a consideration too.
    The way FCP converts the video to Pro Res sounds pretty smart and definitely take the guesswork out.

    Best one I can think of is that it would be an Apple solution.
    The better solution would be to get a real video camera for video production.  While the world of DSMC is rapidly approaching, we're not quite there yet.
    Thanks for your reply, Jim!
    I agree making the switch to Apple and Final Cut Studio might not be the best solution.
    I cannot really speak to getting a "real" video camera just because Premiere cs4 can't seem to play nicely with the camera I currently have.
    I am able to drag and drop 5D Mark II .mov files straight into imovie 6 HD, have it import (40 gb of movies in 4-5 hrs) and then edit away with no delays on a Macbook (non-pro) with no problems whatsoever. Playback, cutting, transitions, effects are silky smooth. Imovie 6 HD came with my Macbook when I bought it in December 2006. Premiere Pro came out last year didn't it? What gives?
    There are people making some "real" good stuff out there with this camera and I love its ability to use all of my Canon lenses (four), high capacity memory cards (ranging from 8gb to 32gb) and camera batteries that I already have. Buying a new, but "real", camera would mean learning a whole new camera system not to mention having to buy all of the accessories, lenses, batteries, memory cards (a Panasonic P2 16gb alone is $800 USD) and carrying all that extra stuff around. If I'm on vacation for instance every morning I would have to make the decision of carting around either the still camera or the video camera instead of just bringing something that could do it both, and potentially miss either a once in a lifetime still or video.
    I'm a photographer by trade but I'm getting into video production because I feel like I will need video editing/production skills in the future or I'll be left in the dust. That isn't the only reason of course - I've always wanted to shoot video but couldn't afford or justify a quality camera until now.
    Jim why do you prefer Premiere to Final Cut Pro on the Mac?
    Thanks again for replying.

  • Canon 5D MKIII - autofocusing problem

    :-)It will only autofocuse in A+ and NOT in any position. I´ve tried with my 24-7mm and my 100-400 mm origianl canon lenses.
    What is wrong?? The camera is brand new  Comming from a 40D.. Have I missed something in the menu? and a upgrade to latest firmware didn´t fix  the problem..
    Does anyone has a solution?
    Thank you in advance..
    Solved!
    Go to Solution.

    To change you go to C.Fn2 menu (the 2 of 4 menu with the Orange Camera symbol) the go to "Custom Controls".  The first one is the Shutter butt. half-press, choose AF On and Metering.  I'm surprised that "Clearing All C.Fn" didn't work but then I never had to use it yet... .  Please let me know if this solves your problem.

  • Canon 16-35 2.8 lens

    I have been waiting for this lens to finally go on sale through best buy to be the same price as everywhere else, and it finally has!  BUT! it hasn't been available online, even before it went on sale.  Now, it's finally on sale to be the same price as all other retailers, but it's still not available (and it's not in stores).  How does best buy put a lens on sale that they don't even have available (and haven't  had available - even before it went on sale)?  when are we going to be able to get a hold of it (there are also a ton of other popular canon lenses that aren't available now and are also on sale)? 
    Thanks for any info you can provide...
    Christina - cjtell

    Hi cjtell,
    This is a very nice lens, and I can definitely understand you wanting to get your hands on it! It is true that this lens is not available in our stores at this time, but you should be able to purchase it on BestBuy.com (and have it shipped to your home). Unless a product on BestBuy.com says not available or on backorder it should be in stock at BestBuy.com's warehouse, which means it is available for purchase. I put it in my cart, and I was allowed to checkout with it so it should be available for purchase. I also show that it is currently on sale for $1,599.99. I hope this helps!

  • Lenses for the new EOS 70D

    Good afternoon, How do I know which lenses "fit" the body of the new EOS 70D?  I also own the EOS Rebel T2i and those lenses do not fit the 70D body.  Thank you....frustrated.
    Solved!
    Go to Solution.

    The 70d is a cropped sensor, so any EF or EF-S lenses will fit.  Your Rebel lenses will fit.  The only modern Canon lenses that won't fit either of those cameras are the new mirrorless lenses EF-M.

  • I am considering purchasing the Tamron SP 24-70 f2.8 DI VC lens for my canon 60d.

    I first want to thank everyone that answered my post re: Possibly upgrading from my 60d to a 6d for horse photography. I appreciate all the feedback I received and find this forum very helpful. Also my avatar is my german shepherd Cloe who is 11 years old. I trained this breed for 37 years before retiring.
    Okay, I have narrowed it down to the Tamron SP 24-70 f2.8 DI VC for my next purchase. But would like to know how people feel regarding this lens, compared to the Canon EFII 24-70 f2.8. I would rather stay with all canon lenses but the Tamron is half the price and the reviews seem positive.
    Thanks, Ron

  • Shooting film with Canon -wich is the Best?

    Hi!
    Help with camera choosing for film shoot
    Wich is the best from Canon Hi-Defenition series?
    THank you!

    Partly It would depend on the type or video you will be shooting.
    It would also depend on which camera you feel more confortable with
    and that gives the specs you need.
    However, I would narrow your search and consider either the XLH1 or the HHG1.
    Canon lenses are remarkable together with other features like uncompressed HD signal through HD-SDI (XLH1) however read their specs here to find what you need:
