EF lens on canon 400d?

[Anthony2412]

So I have a 400d which works fine, a few years ago when I first bought it, it came with a 18-55mm EFS lens so I am ausming I cant use EF lenses but if I can please tell me.

You can use all Canon EF and EF-S lenses on the 400D/XTi. Canon's newer STM lenses offer outstanding image quality at a reasonable price. They are a fantastic value.

Yes, you can.  And they don't have to be STM lenses but they can be if you want.

Dang it ! Thwarted again.  Now what am I gonna do that, that idea is not true.  Woe is me. I sure wish I had known you years ago there Tommy Boy.  You sure could of saved me lots of money.  Can you suggest a course for me to follow that will help me?  Maybe, just maybe I can rise to your ability.  Do you think?  If I dump all my "L" glass and buy STM's will that be the ticket?

"They are a fantastic value."

Straight from the horses mouth or somewhere, anyway.  You can take it for gospel.  Show the OP some MTF charts to convince him.
