EOS Rebel T7 lens compatibility question

[Raymondk1_]

Good Morning Canon family. What lens can i use for this. Can i use the ef 50mm f/1.8 stm lens for this camera or do i need an adapter

Your camera is compatible with all Canon EF & EF-S. Canon EF-M, RF and RF-S lenses ARE NOT COMPATIBLE with your camera.

Thank you bro

To simplify any lens with "EF or EF-S" in its name can be used.

[deebatman316]

Note the EF 50mm F/1.8 STM lens uses an electronic focus ring. The camera metering system must be active for the electronic focus ring to work. The shutter button must be pressed half way down while turning the focus ring. So the lens' AF motor has power to adjust focus. The focus ring WILL NOT work with the camera set to AI Servo or AI Focus it will be ignored. The camera must be set to One Shot then it will work. Also this lens will have an angle of view of 80mm on your camera. The image sensor in your camera has a 1.6x crop factor compared to full frame. So the 50mm lens would be close to a portrait lens.

so if i buy this today i won't need an adapter?

No adapter is needed your camera natively mounts Canon EF & EF-S lenses. Also only buy camera gear from Canon Authorized Dealers. Stayaway from Amazon Marketplace or any other online Marketplace. Stick with B&H Photo NY, Adorama & KEH Camera. For any camera gear related purchases. Gray Market items purchased WILL HAVE NO WARRANTY. Canon also has the right to refuse repair of Gray Market gear.

I was going to use bestbuy cause i wanted to buy it today

[deebatman316]

If you Google a list for Canon Authorized Dealers. Canon has list on their website of Authorized Dealers. I'm not sure if Best Buy is one. If it is I would go directly to a Best Buy store. Their Website is an online marketplace so there is a potential for Gray Market equipment.

Best buy market place is buying from third party seller not Best Buy.

But...........

"I was going to use bestbuy cause i wanted to buy it today"

Obliviously means going to the store which is an authorized Canon retailer.
