Can a digital camera lens be used on a film camera?

Luiz Pedro

I have a canon 50D and im thinking about purchasing a film camera for school. The lens on my canon is the standard one that came with it. Im thinking about buying a film canon SLR and just wanted to know if the lens from my 50D would work with any. And if it only works with particularly SLR's which ones.
Also if anyone has any recommendations on what film camera to get that would help too.

Answer
The lens that came with your Canon 50D is most likely an EF-S lens which means it cannot be used on a Canon AF 35mm film camera or Canon full-frame DSLR like the 5D or 1D. A Canon EF lens can be used on any Canon AF 35mm film camera or cropped sensor Canon DSLR or Canon full-frame DSLR.

Here is a listing of the Canon EOS Rebel AF 35mm film cameras from March of 1987 through Sept. of 2004: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Canon_EOS
