What Lenses Work On an EOS 850D?

[Jwhitt]

What lenses will work for an eos850d? Do all RF, EF and EF-S work or just the EF-S? Thank you!

Hi Jwhitt your camera is compatible with both EF and EF-S lenses. EF lenses are Full Frame and EF-S lenses are APS-C lenses. Your camera is NOT COMPATIBLE with RF, RF-S or EF-M lenses.

Thank you for the quick response 🙂 I have seen several different opinions when looking on Amazon/Best Buy to purchase a new lens so I wanted to make sure. Thanks!

This isn't a matter of "opinion". The absolute truth is crop-sensor (APS-C) Canon DSLRS can take ANY AND ALL EF and EF-S lenses ever made. Full-frame Canon DSLRs, and EOS film cameras, only take EF-mount lenses. Any other Canon autofocus lenses cannot be adapted to DSLRs.

Page 55 of your camera manual answers that question. There’s also a lot other good info in the manual.

Thanks, the manual would not download for me so that's why I thought I would ask here 🙂
