This next week I will be getting a Canon Rebel K2 with kit lens (28-90mm I think it is).
My plan is to buy a wide-angle lens and a telescopic lens over the course of this year and then purchase a digital EOS camera. Originally I was planning on getting the Rebel XT or XTi. This original plan plan was so that I could get use of my lenses from both camera's.
Recently, though I found out that the lenses would work different in the digital format. Mainly, the wide angle would not be so wide-angled and the telephoto would appear even more longer. It's been sugested an easy fix would be either t skip the film body altogether or go with the Canon 5D when I get the digital body.
I do want to use both formats eventually and I do want to begin with film.
So, my question is this:
How do I implement both the film and digital camera's: i.e. are there other options other than the 5D, or is there some lenses I should look into that would function equally well on both camera bodies (the K2 and the XT or XTi). Keep in mind of course, I would only be getting 2 lenses in the EF format and afterwards the EF-S format to use on both camera's. EDIT: The EF-S lenses for just the digital and the EF lenses for both.
Any other advice or pointers would be great to hear as well. Thanks in advance!
