Hi Johnytrout.
If my memory serves me correctly, with the Canon system the EF series of lenses (full frame) will fit on the cropped sensor models of body. However the EF-S series of lenses (the cropped sensor lenses) will not fit on the full frame bodies. In saying that, it might well be the other way around!! I also believe that it is literally that they won't fit. This is one of many reasons I went the Nikon route when 'going digital', as most of the Nikon lenses produced post 1975 will fit on any Nikon body and still work, albeit at a reduced resolution and functionality in some instances.
Also, please bare in mind that I could be completely wrong and probably am.
No doubt if you 'google' it you'll get the full SP on the subject.
Best regards.
Phil.
