Canon's older film bodies (before 1987, such as the A1) used a different lens mount system. The old lens mount system was called FD and the new one is called EF. But since the 30D has a cropped sensor, you're probably (also) using some Canon EF-S lenses, such as the Canon 18-55mm, the 17-85mm, the 17-55mm, etc. Canon's EF-S lenses have a smaller image circle than regular lenses. These lenses produce massive vignetting (black edges) when used on a film SLR. This becomes most noticeable at the wide end of the zoom. The same is also true for third party lenses that were 'made for digital', such as the Sigma DC line and the Tamron Di ll line. So check - you might need a different standard zoom/ wide angle zoom. All of Canon's primes and tele-zoom lenses are fine. Best wishes with the class!<br><b>References : </b><br> If your film body is also from the Canon EOS line, which is every SLR they produced after 1987, your lenses will continue to work.
