I know, that's the forum for SLR lenses ... but here my question

first of all, let me thanks everyone for the fabulous site, it has solve a thousand of questions before I had on photography, here one new that I hadn't found reply yet

Would it be possible to mount in some way this CL lenses in a canon eos550 ?

looking to the specifications, 8mm, and Macro, that would be a nice addition to the list of my lenses, and I see no lenses with this sort of characteristic for canon SLR. Moreover, the price, around 150€, get nice

I do not expect a great quality (again price), but to shot few 8mm pictures would be enough.

What about mount compatibility and focus thing ?

a little google with canon CL 8-120mm shows that
it's for a much smaller sensor.

Also, it uses the VL lens mount system (20mm mount to sensor), which allows EF lenses to be mounted, meaning the VL mount is shorter than the EF mount (44mm).

Consequently, you can't mount VL lenses on EF mount.

thanks in advance.
