Xsi Kit
Will a Canon EF 28-90 mm lens work on an XSi?
I own a Canon Eos Rebel K2 film camera that came with a kit Lens Canon EF 28-90 mm. I am thinking of going digital and am going to buy a EOS Rebel Xsi. My question is if my old lens would work on the new camera so I could just buy the body and switch it out. I eventually, in the very far future, want to buy nicer lens, but can't really afford it right now. Do they work very differently? I am not very knowledgeable on this subject. As a side note does anyone know how good the EF-S 18-55IS lens is? Should I buy the XSi as a kit or buy a separate/better lens?
The EF 28-90 will work just fine on an XSi. In fact the XSi can use all EF and EFs lenses. The 28-90 will perform differently on the XSi though. The Canon Rebels and the 40D and 50D all use an APS-C sized sensor which is smaller than 35mm film. This means that the image appears more magnified than on your film camera. You will often here this referred to as the crop factor. The crop factor is 1.6. So what you need to do is multiply the focal length of your lens by 1.6 to get the equivalent focal length on your film camera. Your 28-90mm lens will perform as a 44.8-144mm lens would on your film camera. This is good on the telephoto end but bad on the Wide Angle end. This is why the Kit Lens for the Digital Cameras is 18-55mm instead of 28-90mm. If you will miss the wide angle I would suggest getting the 18-55mm Lens Kit.
One other thing. The EFs lenses will not work on your film camera or a full frame digital like the 5D MKII. Just keep that in mind when you are lens shopping in the future.

Canon EOS 450D / EOS Rebel XSi Digital Camera with 18-55mm lens Canon has added another fabulous camera to its EOS range: the 450D! This digital camera, recently commended at the TIPA awards for its high performances, user-friendliness and ease of use, is packed full of technologies and special features. Its magnificent 12.2-megapixel CMOS sensor takes lifelike shots at rates of 3.5 frames per second, and its large focusing range picks out details from a distance. The EOS 450D includes a self-cleaning system, which uses three different techniques to dislodge dust from the sensor, and it has a DIGIC III processor to guarantee well-balanced, vivid colours in all your shots. The EOS 450D is easy to handle and use thanks to its 3? LCD screen, which is great for direct shooting, and it comes complete with an 18-55 mm f/3.5-5.6 IS lens. |
