Canon 5DMkll
I have just purchased a new 5D Mark ll and would appreciate if someone can tell me what lenses from my list of lenses I should not use on the 5D ll. As I don't want to cause any damage to the camera or lenses.
Canon 7D and 40D 24-105 IS 17-55 2.8 IS 55-250 IS & 50-500mm Bigma Canon 70-200F4L, Canon 50mm 1.8 & 100mm L IS 2.8 & 10-22mm & MP-E 65.
Cheers
Bob

the 17-55 won't fit for the same reason.
the 55-250 won't work.
bottom line, if there are two dots on the side and back of the lens, one red and the other white, then those lenses are EF-s and will not fit full frame cameras like the 5D series.
lenses with only one dot, red, are for full frame.

Thanks ever so much for that David.

yes, unfortunately the cheaper EF-S lens don't work on full frame bodies.
The good news the 5D mkII is only now $1,500 with the CLP -
Thanks for replying. I can still use the EF-S lenses on my 7D. The reason I bought the 5Dll was because the price of the 5Dlll was £1,000 more and I didn't think the difference warranted it. I have been contemplating upgrading to a 5Dll for a while now and thought that now was the right time to do it.

I agree it's not for everyone, but it's not that difficult if you read how to do it. Now if someone wants to convert a camera to infrared, then that's a different story, and requires disassembling the camera.

Good Morning,
It can't void the warranty if it's out of date

Here is 1 link on modifying ef-s lenses: http://www.ehow.com/how_5961711_convert-lenses-canon-ef.html There are more on line, just do a search. Remember, if you use a modified lens on anything but a 10D or 20D, THE MIRROR WILL HIT THE BACK OF THE LENS on any other camera if you start at 10mm (presuming you will using the 10-22mm ef-s lens) There is some vignetting up to 14mm.

Thanks for the input. However, I won't be doing anything to my lenses with the little knowledge I have of them.

Good Evening Bob,
You can use those lenses, once modified, on ff cameras, if you are careful not to start it off at the widest angle. 12mm is ok with the 10-22mm lens on my 5D and 5D2.
Have a good night
