Purchased T50 Canon camera 20+ years ago. Barely used, but needs repair. Also purchased FD 35-70mm Canon zoom lens and 80-200mm auto zoom lens. Which Canon digital camera will accept these lens?

FD series lenses are pre-EOS. They don't auto-focus.

Canon started this line with the F-1 in 1971 and continued with them until around 1990 and they were phased out in favor of the EOS system.

You can find a list of bodies that use FD lenses here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Canon_fd

I have a Canon AE-1 (still have it ... still works!) which uses FD lenses.

If you know anyone interested I have a Canon AE-1 listed on e-bay which I expect to sell for one fifth of my original investment.
