In case it helps, as I understand it, standard Canon EF lenses will work with these.
Sorry, yes BOTH EF and EF-S lenses work on this camera, it was THE FIRST cropped frame EOS camerathe digital cropped frame sensor was based on this APX size.
Thanks, I could have sworn it did fit, as all that's different is the mirror size and that's what prevents the EF-S from fitting on normal EF bodies, so thought it would fit. I could have sworn I tried it once. Anyway when I get home Monday I'll confirm but I'm sure you're right as usual. Still a good camera looking for a tinkerer
To my understanding the EF-S lenses are built (due to the smaller mirror of the APS format) for a shorter sensor-mount distance than the full size EF-lenses. The Canon film-APS SLR though was still built to the longer distance to accept the given range of full-format EF-lenses.
From what I remember, not all EF-S lenses have the same clearance distance with the rear element and mirror; some rear elements don't stick out as far as others. So it is quite possible that you mounted an EF-S on this camera, but not all (I would say the majority) will work properly.
