A while back, I switched from Canon (T2i) to Sony (A65), and have been quite happy with it. But now I am looking to jump to full frame and eyeing the 6D for its relatively low cost of entry. I am confused about the lens type. Am I to understand that the 6D uses EF mount lenses, the same as its younger Rebel siblings? If that's the case, don't you lose the benefits of a FF sensor? (That is, don't you get cropping?) I only ask as I had considered the Sony Alpha A99, but was told that though the A lens mount was the same, using current Konica/Minolta lenses from my A65 kit would force cropping on the A99. Many thanks in advance for your response!

1-> 6D,5D,5DII,5DIII,1D,1Ds,1Dx......all use EF lenses
2-> 7D,xxD,xxxD use EF-S and EF lenses.
You can use EF lenses on the second group, you can't use EF-S lenses on the first group. Appart from the massive vignetting, you are in danger of the mirror colliding with the lens rear and tearing up the mirror and/or its entire mechanism. EF-S lenses have a "hump" at the rear, that makes them un-fittable to any non-EF-S compatible body, designed specifically to prevent anyone from making that mistake.
The "S" in EF-S stands for Short flange focal distance
