They may not work on newer EOS cameras (and DSLRs) without
being "rechipped." Basically a firmware upgrade. I have
some sigma and canon lenses from the 1990s that worked
on the elan II and 7, but not on a D60 or 10D. I don't
know what fee canon (sigma, etc) charges for the upgrade.
are great cameras. Try to get only IS lenses. You'll likely
be glad you did and save money in the long run because you won't
be keep upgrading. So buy the best lens you can afford as a
good lens will last a long time, unlike camera bodies.
