Best Digital Cameras Lenses
what best model of canon EOS digital camera to buy that will be compatible with my old canon A1 lenses?
i have a series of camera lenses i used w/my canon A1. I am considering acquiring a newer model of canon’s digital EOS cameras. i don’t w/c model would be best that i can use my old canon lenses with.
Unfortunately, your A1 uses the Canon FD lens mount. Canon abandoned that lens mount for the EOS lens mount when they introduced their auto focus 35mm cameras in 1985. The EOS mount is used on all Canon DSLR cameras.
However, Canon did offer an adapter to use the FD mount lenses on the EOS mount bodies. You should be able to find one at:

There is also an adapter to allow use of the Minolta MC/MD mount lenses on the Canon EOS mount bodies. (Minolta also changed their lens mount in 1985 when they introduced their AF camera. The A-mount of the Minolta Maxxum 7000 is used by Sony DSLR cameras today).
Please remember that using those older lenses will require manual focusing and likely “stop down” metering since there will be no contacts between the lens and camera body to allow auto metering.
