The EOS 20D was the first camera of that series that accepted EF-S lenses.
I'd avoid the converter. The results are unlikely to be good and a converted lens isn't very easy to use. While Canon's EF-S lenses for APS-C cameras (like the 10D) won't fit, the SIgma, Tamron and Tokina lenses designed for APS-C cameras will fit and work OK, so if you want a wideangle zoom, you'd be better off taking the "3rd party lens" route. Your lowest cost option would be something like the Sigma 18-50 (http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/ASIN/B002330FJ8/bobatkinsphotogr) (around $200) Title: Re: Canon 10D compatible lenses / FD to EOS advice Post by: cuds on August 28, 2010, 06:26:46 PM Cheers for the advice bob , will help me out a lot ;)
So i stick to canon EF only and the 3rd party lenses if want the other option , cheers |
