The new Canon Digital Rebel series can use all of those old EF lenses, plus also new EF-S lenses, like the one that comes in the kit. So yes, the lenses are interchangable. <BR/><BR/>I feel your pain. I saved up for a few years to buy the first camera, and added the lenses slowly, one at a time. The 50mm was $50, and possibly the best lens purchase ever.<BR/><BR/>Sadly, my original Rebel (and the kit lens!) is now broken, which is what prompted the generous early Christmas present of an XTi. I was not looking forward to saving up another few years!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21558651.post-1166039192544135872006-12-13T13:46:00.000-06:002006-12-13T13:46:00.000-06:00Not to highjack the comments section but I have tw...Not to highjack the comments section but I have two questions for your hubby-or the phillip guy who commented (or both if they are one in the same...). Do you know if the lenses to the canon rebel digital and the canon EOS film camera are interchangable? And the second...a long shot. Any chance you would want to sell the other canon digital? Or even just the extra lens?Rebeccahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17983592950942904914noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21558651.post-1166038899656957492006-12-13T13:41:00.000-06:002006-12-13T13:41:00.000-06:00AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!

So the real list of lenses is:<BR/><BR/>EF 50mm f/1.8 II<BR/>EF-S 18-55m f/3.5-5.6 (x2)<BR/>EF 75-300mm f/4-5.6 III USM<BR/><BR/>Sorry for the mixup; all my fault. The (x2) is because I have two of those lenses. One came with my original Canon Digital Rebel, and one came with my new Canon Digital Rebel XTi (which was a very recent gift, so most pictures on the blog are with the "older" Rebel).Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21558651.post-1166022770628700412006-12-13T09:12:00.000-06:002006-12-13T09:12:00.000-06:00Rebecca, Phillip takes most of the pictures for my...Rebecca, Phillip takes most of the pictures for my blog, here is what he has:<BR/>-Canon Digital Rebel XTi<BR/><BR/>Lenses:<BR/>-50mm s/1.8<BR/>-70-300mm s/4.0/5-6<BR/>-18-55mm s/2.8-4.5<BR/><BR/>I have no idea what any of that means but I hope it helps. ;0)<BR/><BR/>KelliKellihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12959889019639336499noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21558651.post-1166021798593397192006-12-13T08:56:00.000-06:002006-12-13T08:56:00.000-06:00Those truffles look SO good!Lakehouse was a great ...Those truffles look SO good!<BR/><BR/>Lakehouse was a great movie--even my hubby liked it!Randihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06047562702314396166noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21558651.post-1165972004750727772006-12-12T19:06:00.000-06:002006-12-12T19:06:00.000-06:00Oh my, how yummy!Oh my, how yummy!Tammyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16139188188043795169noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21558651.post-1165946637359212672006-12-12T12:03:00.000-06:002006-12-12T12:03:00.000-06:00Kelli, your truffles look fantastic, yummy yummy!I...Kelli, your truffles look fantastic, yummy yummy!<BR/><BR/>I've just tagged you!
