What lenses will work with Rebel XS??

[burstintoflame81]

What canon lenses will work with Rebel XS? Can I use old lenses just without autofocus? Or will only the new top of the line lenses work? I wanted to scour ebay and craigslist and maybe get some extra lenses for cheap without all of the bells and whistles. Thanks.

Only ef and ef-s lenses will work on your XS.

As memtioned, Canon EF or EF-S lens will work with your camera. I have an EF 50mm f/1.8 lens dated back in the late 80s and still works great with my EOS digital cameras.

There are some 3rd parties lenses such as the one from Tamron, Sigma and Tokina that will also work with your camera. However, not all of them will work even it will mount on your camera body. Some of them need to be re-chipped in order to work. So watch out for that.
