cgo Posted August 28, 2003 Share Posted August 28, 2003 Just out of interest ... There may be people out there who already own an EOS camera who will buy the 300D kit with the EF-S lens and may be tempted to try the lens on there other body. Is there a possibility of damage.

jespdj Posted August 28, 2003 Share Posted August 28, 2003 This was discussed in previous posts here - the EF-S lens will not fit on cameras that have only the standard EF mount, to prevent you from damaging the camera. The EF-S lens fits only on the 300D (and ofcourse the 300D can also take standard EF lenses). <p>See <a href="http://www.photo.net/bboard/q-and-a-fetch-msg?msg_id=005nlh">this post</a>; it shows an image of the EF and EF-S mounts. <p>regards Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ron c sunshine coast,qld,a Posted August 28, 2003 Share Posted August 28, 2003 I did some measurements on some good cross sectional drawings i found of the EF-s 18-55.Even if it was changed so it could be mounted on a normal eos,it is too long by about 4-5.5mm depending on which other model eos body you wanted to try it on Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
