Yes, as everyone says it is a good, fun camera. Go and get a couple of rolls of Ilford XP-2 Black and White film. It can be processed by one-hour photo places using color chemistry. Pictures may come back with a slight sepia cast, but the film is b&w with very high latitude (meaning it is forgiving to over or under exposure.) Have fun. I'd recommend using the 50 as well. Other lenses are probably inexpensive and not very good although we can't tell exactly what they are from your photos. If they do not say Canon, then that's probably true.


Film: Leica M-4, Elan 7E, Rolleiflex 2.8f, Pentax 645 -- Digital: Canon Pro-1, EOS 5D Mk III
EOS Lenses: Sigma 24-70 f2.8 EX - Canon EF 17-40 f4.0L - Canon EF 24-105 f4.0L - Canon EF 35 f1.4L USM - Canon EF100-400 f4.5-5.6L IS USM - Canon EF100 f2.8 Macro - Other stuff: MR 14EX - 430EX - 580EXII - ST-E2 - TC1.4x - TC-80N3

Ditto on all above.

You can use the flashes but ONLY if they are fires through a radio slave unit or if you purchase a Wein Safe Sync adapter that will regulate the hot shoe voltage down to a level safe for newer digital camera. This adapter is $50 at B&H http://www.bhphotovide​o.com …EG&addedTroughT​ype=search (external link) but you might just want to put that $50 toward a new flash instead. You would be better off in the long run.

If you want to try the FD lens on the EOS, you can get a FD to EOS adapter on ebay for about $30.00

Which will either not let you focus to infinity, or contain a teleconverter element (usually of around 1.25x) which, in a $30 adapter will more closely resemble the bottom of a Coke bottle than anything else. Not worth it for those lenses. Really.
