Hi all. I have on my EOS500 a Canoon 28-80mm lens. This lens will not fit on my 400D. It says around the front of it, "Canon Zoom Lens EF 28-80mm 1:3.5-5.6"
presumably it's an FD mount lens rather than EF. is the lens manual or auto focus? i believe, but stand to be corrected, that the FD lenses were all manual. probs wrong though! the 400d is an EF mount and therefore won't accept anything else.

Just out of curiosity, why wont it fit?
Just a thought I haven't and cant check this suggestion for myself, but don't the kit lenses use a different line spot to other lenses. If this is the case try lining up to the other spot.
Ahhhh, schoolboy error It worked when lined up with the red spot on there, thank you!!
Now the 18-55 lens that came with the 400d wont fit on the eos500....
Thanks.
Thats right it wont, the kit lens that came with your 400D is slightly different and will only fit digital EOS from the prosumer 20D DSLR onwards and the entry level 300D DSLR onwards. None of the pro 1D cameras will accept this kit lens.

the kit lens uses a modified EF mount called EF-S (short focus). there's extra material on the back of the lens that prevents it being mounted to a non EF-S camera, however it can be hacked to work fully with non full frame bodies such as the 10d, d30 and d60. between 18mm and about 21mm zoom, the rear lens element projects beyond the barrel and will likely get hit by the mirror of full frame cameras as it flips up when taking an image. with the 10d etc there is sufficient clearance, due to the mirror being physically smaller, that this is not an issue. the rest of the zoom range *should* be fine on all EF mount cameras as the lens elements are all within the lens barrel.
