    The answer is an unmitigated no.
    The 18-55mm EF-S lens won´t fit on a pre 1987 Canon SLR and it won´t work properly on a more recent body. The 18-55mm was designed specifically for cropped sensors; the image circle is too small for full frame sensors and 35mm film. It would show massive vignetting – like looking through a periscope.
    If you have an EOS film body, look for a used consumer grade EF zoom or a used 50mm f/1.8. These cost peanuts and you CAN use these lenses on your dSLR. In fact, a 50mm f/1,8 is a pretty neat lens to have for your dSLR – it can be used in low light situations and as a short portrait lens on cropped sensors.

    It won´t work. You can use any EF lens, but not an EF-S lens on that film body.
    Any lens you get for the film body will also work on your 400D.

    No, all Film cameras are full frame cameras.
    and the 400d is a digital camera. Thus,
    it has a much smaller sensor. The 18-55mm
    lens is made for the smaller sensor. Not for
    full frame sensors. So no, it won’t fit, sorry.

    What model and age film camera would decide this. In 1987 Canon changed to the EF mount and anything with and EF mount digital or film can interchange lenses If it is an older film camera with an FD lens mount the lens will not work
