Yes~ A 30D can accept all EF and EF-s lenses~ Kit lens is an EF-s lens.

Anw, just curious, what camera do u own?

Lol? it stands to reason if it COMES with the kit lens, it has to be compatible

Hi Gilbert - maybe you are confused by the term 'kit lens'. It simply means the lens that is bundled with the camera and sold as a package. In the old days, Canon and Nikon sells the camera bodies and lens separately (they still do by the way). To attract buyers they mass produce a reasonable performing lens and offer this at a bundled price with the body. Kit lenses are normally EF-S but this may not be the case - for e.g. the kit lens for the 5D is the 24-105 L.

You are right... And a camera can have different kit lenses also... 18-55 and 17-85 can both be considered kit lenses... So is 18-55, 18-70, 18-135, 18-200 for nikon bodies~

18-200 was never a kit lens

But it seem rather fitting for the 18-200 to be kit lens of the D200

and the 17-55 to be that of the D2Xs.

nowadays for alot of canon promotion, you can pay a higher price for the 17-85 IS instead of the 18-55... so would you consider that a kit lens?
