Canon EOS Rebel Ti braving the elements
Despite their common nature and inexpensive prices, there are many good reasons to use consumer-grade Canon EOS film SLR cameras these days. We just hinted at two of those reasons in fact. But with today's post we have a specific perk in mind; they are super inexpensive means of shooting your high end DLSR glass. One of our staff still uses a Canon EOS 5D MkII DSLR camera and has a small library of nice L-series lenses for it. Their main 35mm film camera is a Nikon FM2 though, and while there are ways to adapt Canon EF lenses to Nikon F it is not as much fun as just picking up an EOS film SLR like this Rebel Ti. With this set up you maintain the benefits of autofocus (which is lost when adapting such lenses to another system). At a price of just $50 or $60 you get a lightweight film camera that is surprisingly capable, compatible with the same EF lenses (but not EF-S!) you use on your EOS digital SLR and it is not as stressful to take out in rainy weather because hey, if the camera breaks it was only $50-60! So if you already own a good EOS digital camera with some nice EF lenses, consider grabbing a cheap Rebel body to throw in your bag and then you can shoot film or digital using all the same lenses!
