EF or EF-S mount? - Quantaray 100-300mm F4.5-6.7 Zoom Lens for Canon AF

Question edited for clarity.
Question moved to Ford Falcon.

It may be from the steering pump hoses?

If the lens is an FD mount then it won't fit an EF camera and visa versa. You can buy an adapter to mount FD lenses on EF camera.

Whoever led you to believe that is wrong. The AE-1 uses the Canon FD mount, while the newer EOS cameras use the EF mount.

Canon introduced the EOS (Electro-Optical System) in 1987. The bayonet-style EF lens mount is at the heart of the EOS camera system. Breaking compatibility with the earlier breech-lock FD mount, it was designed with no mechanical linkages between moving parts in the lens and in the camera. The aperture and focus are controlled via electrical contacts, with motors in the lens itself.

The Rebel K2 has the Canon EF mount. It is compatible with any EF lenses except the EF-S series. It will also work with third-party lenses that are compatible with the Canon EF series.

Canon EOS 500N has an EF lens mount, so all lenses with Canon EF mount will fit. All lenses with MF and EF-S won't fit. If you purchased Sigma 28-70mm f/2.8 EX, then it have EF mount and will fit EOS 500N.

Yes, if it has a Minolta/Sony mount. The Sigma EF 500 has been producedin different mount, so that the model can fit different cameras from different producers. A Sigma flash for Sony should have SO-ADI written on it.

Hello,

are your old film lenses FD or EF mounts ?
(Is the old film camera a Canon ?)

EF will fit EFS fine. My expeariance is with the EOS 3000 EF film camera (2002 -etc) and these work fine.

If you have Canon FD, there are some lens converters out there however I have not seen any yet which electrically connect and there is no AF. All Manual focus.

I have used Olympus OM mount adaptors with manual focus to mount older/different mount lenses with some success (As an example).

Best idea is to search ebay for your mount converters.

yes ef stands for electric focus which is what your camera mounting should be check your mounting to make sure its EF and if it is go for it. also the mounting type might be in your hand book

The FT lens mount system (FL system) is not the same lens mount used on today's Canon EOS cameras (EF lens mount). The FT/FL system was used for a very short time in the 1960s, and was replaced by the FD lens mount system. Canon switched to the EOS/EF system in the late 1980s/early 1990s. So the lens will not fit on a Digital Rebel, and because it's 2 generations away from the lenses that do fit I don't think there was ever an adaptor made. Sorry!

Unfortunately, the only 300mm 2.8 lens listed is the IS version

The procedure is not that complicated, but you need to pay attention to the connections on the circuit board. The mount is removed, and you need to remove the small screws that hold the connector board to the mount ring first.

I cannot do live chat due to I use a Mac, but I will monitor the thread if you have questions,
