I have a trusty old Canon A1 with a few decent FD lenses and I've not used my camera in ages due to the hassle of films (usually getting them developed or finishing an entire roll rather than the cost).
I've been looking at the possibility of getting a digital SLR, in particular the Canon EOS 350D which seems like an entertaining beasty, but I can't seem to find concrete info on whether the lenses I have will fit it.
Anyone know for sure?
I'm looking at getting a set with the base, a 18-55 EF-S lens, 1Gb CF and NB2LH battery, but the addition of my 70-200 telefoto and wide-angle FD lenses would be a nice bonus![]()

. However, IMO their total dominance of the autofocus market was largely due to the fact that their lens design was completely unencumbered with having to be backwards compatible with old manual focus gear, and hence worked exceptionally well. As the owner of a lot of EOS gear, I'm glad they took the decision they did....and FWIW I also have a T90 and my dad owns an A1

Pretty poor since I used to sell them
. As rajagra says they are a serious PITA to use, since you can't use any sensible metering mode. You just have to stop the lenses down manually and either set your shutter speed manually or use aperture priority. It would really take away from the ease (and hence pleasure) of using a digital SLR IMO.
