I have some lenses from Cannon AE1 P film camera.

Do these fit any Canon digital SLR camera?

Thanks in Advance,

Glen

Sorry to say no. There is an adapter that purports' to let you use your old
Canon lens on the new digital mount, but it has limitations. One is the
distance from the back of the lens to the "film" is different in the digital
camera. That means the lens will not focus to infinity. The adapter has a
lens to let you focus to infinity but it costs you some quality. Also the
lens is a complete manual lens. You have to manual focus and you have to set
the f stop manually and the lens has to be stopped down to meter also.
Anyway I have one, it works if you can put up with the limits. I tried it
because I have a large number of very good Canon lens in the old mount.
