Re: Using an old EF lens on a 200D question/problem

There is no guarantee that old third party film lenses will work on newer digital cameras, even if it is the same mount.  While they physically fit, Canon has changed some lens protocols which make those old lenses not function properly.  I have a old Quantaray lens that will take a photo for one shot and then give me a error code.  Sigma, who made the lens I have, did at one time have a firmware upgrade that made them work.  However, the lens needed to be sent in to Sigma headquarters for them to upgrade it.  And of course they do not offer that service anymore.
