Hey all, I'm a 21st century digital boy with a film question:
Will any of these lenses work on a EOS Rebel T2 or K2?
Canon EF 28-105mm f/3.5-4.5 II USM
Canon EF 75-300mm f/4.0-5.6 IS USM
Canon EF-S 18-55mm f/3.5-5.6
Thanks! |

Yes.
Yes.
No. I think. On the last one. |

Correct - EF-S Lenses will not work

| Thanks! I'm taking a B&W Photo class and need a film camera. Regarding paper, what are the risks involved with buy expired paper? |

Depends on how it's been stored. I have succesfully used very old paper that was stored in cold temperatures in its original sealed package and it has been OK. It was like 10 years old at the time. Once the package has been opened, it's a new ball game.

| Thr 18-55 won't work, but it's kind of fun to hold it up to the mount and look through it. The edges are cropped off, and since it can't go all the way in the focus is off, but it's kind of neat. |

| Can anyone recommend an older more inexpensive canon film SLR that supports the EF lenses? |

If frozen, film amd paper will keep almost indefinitely. I've used 15 year old film that I found while cleaning out a freezer at a lab I was working at. It was just fine.
Regardless of the expiration date, if you are unsure of the storage conditions, I would stay away. |

What does inexpensive mean to you? |

If you get a "bad" box of paper this may be more trouble than what it is worth. I bought a small pack of discontinued luminous paper and all the paper had a white line running through the center.
I have also ordered a box of paper online through a large NYC retailer and when I got the paper the box seal had been already broken. I immediately sent the box back.
Now, I pretty much buy paper locally at two stores that offer discounted supplies to students.
When you buy film, check the date.

I don't know what your idea of inexpensive is, but you could get a Canon 1N for about $3-400 bucks - I have one, and I love it. It was Canon's pro model in 1994, and it's still a good camera. The body design is awesome, and it feels really solid and of course is sweet to use.
You could also get an EOS-5 or one of the Rebels - I think walmart sells a film rebel for $100 body only, and that one is decent. |
