So I sold my Canon T2i w/ kit lens and some accessories that only work with it. (battery grip for example)
Now I am looking into getting a newer camera. I have a couple lens already, but I am super confused on the difference in an EF-S mount and EF mount. I was under the impression that if the camera has a red dot then it's an EF mount lens. Correct? All my lens have a red dot on them, but one claims to only work with APS-C Sensors. Excuse me. It says it's "designed" for APS-C sensors.
These are the three lens that I have.
Tokina 11-16mm f/2.8 AT-X116 Pro DX Digital Zoom Lens (for Canon EOS Cameras)
Canon EF 28mm f/2.8 IS USM Lens
Canon EF 75-300mm f/4-5.6 III Lens
The 27mm and the 75-300mm each have EF written on them so I am really confident that they're EF mounts. Even the bhphoto link says they are. They also have red dots for lining it up to the camera.
However, the Tokina lens does not say whether or not it's an EF or EF-S mount. It just says it's designed for cameras with APS-C Sensors. It does have a red dot on it just like the other EF lens. So what will happen if I put this lens on a full frame camera? Full frame camera... Oh right. I intend to go upgrade to a full frame, Canon 5D Mark III camera though I am leaning more towards the 5DS camera on account of the higher pixel count thus allowing me to print even larger pictures on canvas. Either way, I want to know if I can or can not use my favorite lens on a full frame, 5D Mark III or 5DS camera.
My understanding is the biggest difference between a EF and EF-S lens is that the EF-S lens sits closer to the sensor. This will mean that the 11 - 16mm lens will be even wider angel on the full frame than it was on my T2i.
