Question, I own a Canon EOS 20D, is this lens compatible with it? Do I need another accesorie to make it fit or by itself it will mount perfectly? Thanks.
Asked by: Anonymous
Yes, the Canon EF 50mm f/1.8 II Lens is fully compatible with the Canon EOS 20D DSLR camera (and all Canon EOS SLR and DSLR cameras manufactured since 1987 - this applies to all EF lenses with the red dot on the lens mount). No adapter is needed to connect the lens to the camera

Asked by: Ashley N.
They are very similar. Not easy to tell the difference if there is any. The only thing is that if there is any malfunctions with the camera and lens, canon will not honor

Wondering if there's an ETA on when this will be made available? It seems like the previous question is dated back to Mid March, hoping that it won't be another month before it will ship!
