Is it bad to use the same lens from a film camera to a digital?
Question by ktina: Is it bad to use the same lens from a film camera to a digital?
I just got a Canon Rebel XTI with a 18-55 mm + a 75-300 lens. I have a Canon Rebel XS with a 70-210 lens. I would like to use the middle size lens with the digital camera but am not sure if it could hurt the digital. The cameras kindof expensive to try something that I’m unsure of. A kid at circut city told me it wasn’t a good idea, but he also said he didn’t specialize in cameras.

No problem in doing this. All “EF” lenses are interchangeable on any body that supports them.
If Canon didn’t want you to do this the lens mount would be different.
The only issue you get into is the your “old” lens becomes effectively longer on your digital camera. I think the multiplier is 1.2 or 1.4
so you 70 – 210 will seems like a 84 to 250.

First of all you can’t just look at the film. You need to rewind the film and bring it someplace that will develop it for you. Do not pull the film out without first rewinding it into the spool. If it is exposed to any light at all it will be ruined.
There should be a way to manually roll the film back into the canister. I am not really familiar with this camera so you will have to Google a manual to know how to do it.
