Although my question DID need clarification, you were able to intuit what I needed (should I buy a new camera to fit these lenses, buy an adaptor so I can use them with my Canon Rebel, or buy new lenses developed for my Canon). I’ve made a note on my phone of the new lenses you suggested adding as funds allow. I’ll go that way. This is an amazing community and blessings on each of your heads for your kindness. | |

This situation might be different were we talking about the fa 31mm f/1.8 limited..

Both are cheap (for lenses), complement each other nicely and you get a bit of reach (250mm) and a bit of low light capabilities (with the 24mm). I almost stopped using the 18-55 from the kit after getting those, because it is noisy/slow to focus and not nearly as sharp as the other two. | |

| Apr 22, 2019 at 15:16 | comment | added | mattdm | Can you please be more specific about your question? Is it whether you can use these old lenses on your Canon camera? Or whether you should get a different camera to utilize them better? Or something else? | |
