Can I Use My Old Canon Film Camera Lenses On A New Canon Dslr?
I have a Canon EOS Rebel X S film camera which I bought around 1996. Is it possible to use the auto focus lenses from this camera on a newer, digital Canon? I do not see anywhere on the camera body or the lenses where it says either FD or EF, so unless you can tell me where to find these markings, that won’t help. Thanks in advance for your help.

The Rebel (and generally the EOS line) all use EF lenses, the same as all the new digital cameras from Canon.
So if you can mount your lens onto your EOS Rebel XS Film, you’ll be able to mount it on any new digital Rebel, 10D-50D, 5D mk1/2, 1D(s)(mk1-3), etc. And if you want on their 1V film body too.
All EOS cameras use the EF-Mount. So yes, if you buy a new Canon DSLR, you’ll be able to continue using lenses for your Rebel, The switch from FD to EF-mount happened way back in 1987. Canon started the EOS system that year but, it would be years before they introduced the Rebel series of cameras.
