Thanks to the generous members of the Hog wo “paid it forward” by donating older film cameras to local community college students who otherwise would not be able tonaffird the required film camera for the Intro class. You guys are the best!

Our local community college has a popular Beginning Photography class which requires the students to learn film photography before moving into digital.

We have several Canon Rebel film cameras that have been donated that are in very good shape, but came without lenses. We need some lenses for these cameras. These cameras constitute a “loaner pool” for students who cannot afford to buy a film outfit just for the class.

If you have an older EF compatible lens just sitting in the drawer, in a bag, or on a shelf that you would be will to donate, they can really use it.

Also, if you have an older 35mm camera and lens (does not have to be a Canon) that still works, they can use that, too.

If you have questions concerning this request, please message me here.

Thank you for your time and consideration.

David, Don’t Canon film cameras use “FD” lenses rather than “EF” lenses? Unless you provide EF-FD adapters.

EF was introduced before digital.

The all-electronic EOS platform was commercially released in 1987, with a line of film-based camera bodies where the film-option was discontinued only in 2004 with a complete changeover to digital bodies. The many of the film EOS bodies used the 'Rebel' naming for products sold in N America. The EOS film cameras remain fully compatible with all full-frame EF-mount lenses from 1987 through current releases in 2019.

The EOS platform replaced the older manual focus, film-only series of cameras and lenses based on the FD mount. The differences between the FD and EF mounts, specifically in the diameter and distance from the lens to the film surface (or digital sensor) made the two mounts incompatible between the two types of bodies. The older FD lenses are now more useful on mirrorless digital cameras, via simple metal adapters with no glass, or when used on the native Canon film bodies.

Actually Canon continued all the way to May 2018 with film. It was only one year ago when the film EOS 1V was finally discontinued.

Was it support or sales, 2018 is so far back in the past ...

MT Shooter Loc: Montana

Sales. I actually sold 2 of them in 2017 when Canon announce production had ceased and they would be discontinued when inventories were sold off. That was the same number of Canon 1DC's I sold that year.

Been there done that and I'm surprised you didn't get the welcome I did when I attempt to sell a couple of old lenses. None the less.. hit the salvation army or goodwill for cameras, gear and lenses cause I really doubt anyone would fork over a lenses for a non-verified cause.

Canon used the FD lenses on the A-1, AE-1, and AE-1 Program, but the EF lenses work on early Canon Rebel film cameras as well as current EOS digital cameras.

I have a Minolta X-700 Camera along with 4 lenses as follows:

Rokkor 50mm
Gemini 80-200mm zoom
Gemini 135 mm
Tokina 28-85mm zoom

Also I have a Yashika Electro 35

I would be willing to donate to the Community college if you would pay shipping cost. All in working order.

Let me know if you are interested.
