Lens Compatibility

[tksvv]

i am a newbie to photography. I got a EOS300D with the included 18-55 mm lens. i had a Minolta XTSI (Normal SLR not a digital SLR) camera with sigma 28-200 mm lens ( i do not know the type of lens that came with that as it is not with me right now). (for somebody wondering why a newbie has two SLRs - i thought i had a passion for photography but never had the time to explore).

Can i use it for this camera? (I beleive i cannot, as Sigma makes lenses for each manufacturer separately and they have different mounts). I would appreciate if somebody can let me know if there is a way to use this lens with EOS300D.

TIA for any suggestions.

Hi
You cannot use Minolta Lens on CANON EOS since the Mount is seperate. You would need seperate lens for Canon.

Thanks
