Yes, you can't mount your 350D kit lens 18-55mm to your film SLR EOS 50 because the kit lens is an EF-S version. You can actually modified it if you want to in order to fit onto your EOS 50, but such modification will void your lens warranty by Canon. Hence, you have to decide for yourself whether you want to do it or not.

yes...EF-S (for digital Cams) lenses (white dot) do not fit into EF lens mounts (red dot)..

350D kit lens is a digital lens EF-S mount. And EOS 50 should be EF mount.

[RossChang]

Yea, you won't be able to fit it in cos EF-S got an additional rubber piece at the rear.... unless... of course, u modify it...

So if I were to get a lens tat will fit both I need to go for EF series?

Yes, EF lenses will fit both.

Thanks very much for the answer!

when mounted, EF-S lens is closer to your sensor of dslr (equivalent to film in the slr). with the extra protrusion that brings the lens close to your sensor makes the lens can't be fit to the film slr (which has larger mirror)

film slr - bigger area (your film) for light exposure --> need larger mirror --> more distance for mirror clearance for the mirror to flip up
dslr - smaller sensor area --> smaller mirror --> enable EF-S lens to be designed closer to the mirror (main purpose is to make the lens closer to the sensor)

reason for closer distance --> reduce light reflected from the sensor surface

hey this is a stupid question but

with the ef-s 18-55mm right

on the 1.6x crop camera

its still 28-88 right?
