Will my lens work on an an EOS400D

I have a Canon Zoom lens Ef 28-90mm 1:4 - 5:6 USM (Fitted to an EOS 300 35mm).

I have three questions which are: - Will this lens work okay on an EOS400D,

and I am told that 28mm - 90mm equates to a different focal length on digital

cameras, if this is the case, what does 28-90mm equate to? Is the lens (EF-S

18-55mm)offered as a bundle with the 400D any good?

I would really appreciate some help with this as I am really not up to speed

with digital cameras yet.

Will this lens work okay on an EOS400D?

 

Yes - any EF-lens will do.

 

What does 28-90mm equate to?

 

45-144mm - multiply with 1,6.

 

Is the lens (EF-S 18-55mm)offered as a bundle with the 400D any good?

 

If you stop it down to f8 yes. But if you want to take pictures at f4 or f2,8 you need to spend more cash.

I would bet money that the 18-55 kit lens and the 28-90 would be similar in quality and apparent focal lengths.

<p>The 18-55 on the 400D gives essentially the same range of fields of view that the 28-90 gives on a film body, if that's what the previous poster means. If compared on the 400D, the 18-55 will of course go wider than the 28-90, while the 28-90 will go longer. I haven't used either lens, but based on their reputations, the 18-55 should be slightly better than the 28-90, but certainly, neither one qualifies as great.</p>

Thanks to all your answers, they clarify everything.

Be careful. Old lenses (including EF lenses) have old electronically equipment. It means that aperture shouldn't work well. Than the one solution is to let to change the chip in lens. It takes some money but less than new lens. It could be to test your lens with some digi body. Than you can see. Nice photos. Michal
