Hey /p/, how are you today?

My sister bought this Canon SLR years ago and, after the fad died, she stopped using it. Lately I've been moderately interested in photography, though probably no more than she was, and I don't want to go making the same mistake she made and buy a whole new camera and just leaving it to waste away after a few months.

A friend told me that DSLR lenses could be mounted onto the body of Rebel cameras, and so this rekindled my interest in expanding what I have access to such that I can start taking some more varied photos than the ones that the standard lens kit would permit. Anyway, long story short I'm interested in buying some lenses, but I don't really know where to start... I know that I'd like to get a telephoto lens (I live in an ideal location to take some photos of the moon, if that's of any use for what kind of power might be appropriate), and I'd like to see if a Macro lens would be reasonable, but if not, then that's fine. Also I want to get a new general-purpose lens, but again that's not of high priority.

Basically, I'd like to know what my options are. Sorry for the broad subject... I don't even know where to go from here, so... I'll leave it to you guys.

You can use all the Canon EF lenses on that camera. The majority of them are cross compatible between 135 film and the digital crop and "full frame" formats offered by Canon.

If you have a lens already for the body then try using that before you start spending your money. If you want a macro lens, then there are Canon and third party options that will work fine on that camera.

What lenses or other equipment do you have?

The short of it is: buy some film and take some pictures, then look at the results. Post them here for criticism. The cycle goes on. Take it from there.

I'll just clarify that the only lenses you want to avoid are the "EF-S" lenses. There aren't many models in the EF-S range, but they are very popular with the smaller format/crop body DSLRs, so you will see them for sale and mentioned often online. Stay away from them unless you have a suitable DSLR to put them on.

Canon EF is fine for your camera. Canon EF-S is not. Watch out for similar things with the other brands.
