Hello,

I was wondering if the Canon EF-S 60mm f/2.8 USM Macro Lens works on the 1100d as i have seen some reviews on it and they have said that it doesn't work on all canon eos cameras.

Hi Jacob

This is true in that EF-S lenses will not fit Canon EOS film cameras, Full Frame and APS-H size sensor EOS digital cameras (EOS 1D Mk IV, 1D X and 5D bodies).

This is because EF-S lenses protrude further into the camera body than EF lenses (by about 3mm, see images below) and on large sensor and film cameras this extra would stop the mirror swinging up prior to the shutter closing.

However your EOS 1100D is a crop frame (APS-C) body and will happily accept EF-S lenses.
