D80 here

ps Nikon lenses are called Nikkor - is that what you mean? (There is no hard and fast rule for Nikon "L series" glass)

Ahh D80.

Nah i meant Canon has EF-S glass (fits all crop cameras) and the EF lenses which are All cameras and then the L lenses. I dont know what Nikons equivalent to L glass is e.g. N glass or whatever lol. I know there is AF-S, ,FX and all that, but dont know the difference.

Yeah there isn't one - aperture and price is normally the indicators!

Kory, you just touched on a topic I've been meaning to ask you about. Canon lenses, how do you know what fits what? Or are they more or less generic?

Beyond what Kory and Zennon have already mentioned, if your Canon camera has ONLY a red dot on the lens mounting, then you can ONLY use EF lenses (because the camera you'd be using in that instance is a full-frame jobbie, hence the need for a full-frame EF lens). If your Canon camera has BOTH the red dot and the white square, then you can use either the EF or EF-S lenses on your camera.

I spy a white square!! Seems like my 18-55 and 17-85 are both EFS lenses too.

Thanks guys.

Zennon, I'll have a read through those now
