A friend of mine asked today if the lenses she has for a 35mm Canon were usable on a Canon Digital SLR. All you Canon users can chime in with a good answer please! Thanks!
The older Canon EF lenses do not work on the new Canon digital SLR (E10D).
Hadn't heard that. Canon seem to disagree in their 10D documentation that says that 'All Canon lenses in extensive EF line-up, ..., are fully compatible with the EOS 10D'
Are you sure about that? I have one of the oldest EF-mount-designed lenses, a 28 F2.8, and it works just fine. Might there be a problem with your particular lenses?

I have older lenses that I used on my Canon EOS 650 (Film SLR) that I was hoping to use and they do not work on my new Canon EOS 10D.
I've read about an 'Error 99' message people were having using older lenses. First off make sure that the electrical contacts on the lens mount are clean.
Well rest assured that it's a problem with your lenses in particular, and not with older EF mount lenses not being compatible. It might be worth it to take them in to get serviced.
