Re: Can i strip and clean the inside of my Cannon EF 50...
I don't think so. the lens is held by 3 or 4 internal plastic hook clipping type . send it to canon cost about 30 bucks. one clip breaks, you can say goodbye to your lens.

Might be that the aperture is stuck and you need to get the lens repaired (might cost more than a new lens.) Or it might just be bad contacts. Clean the contacts and try another lens before asking Canon or dismantling the lens.
'Error 99' indicates some problem with
the AF contacts. This is a common error in Canon lenses. It could
indicate a very simple problem like dirty contacts or a much serious
one like the breakage of USM cable. As a first step, you can try
cleaning the lens and body contacts (the metal contacts between the
lens and body) using a pencil eraser. Be careful to hold the body
facing down so that no dust falls inside. After cleaning both the
lens and the body contacts, re-attach the lens and try shooting. If
the AF does not work still, you need to take the lens to an
authorized service center.
You can. But do you have a lens collimator and other equipment needed to ensure proper alignment when you put it back together again? Without such gear, the resulting pictures will probably be worse than they are now.
Hi, all canon EOS digital cameras can take all EF lenses. An EF lens from 1989 will fit a Digital body from 2009.
The newer EF-S lenses will only work with the smaller APS-C size sensors on the cheaper consumer bodies.
Hope this answers your query, please take the time to rate!
All canon EF lenses (and compatibles e.g. Sigma EX) can be used with both analog and digital EOS-bodies. Depending on the sensor size (usually smaller than a 35 mm negative) a crop-factor due to the smaller field of view must be considered.
Example: Canon EF 50mm/1.8 lens used on a digital EOS (40D, crop factor 1.6) equals a 80mm lens (50mm x 1.6) compared to analog cameras using 35mm film.
Some digital EOS-models can also use EF-S lens-series.
