Hello guys, I was wondering if someone could help me on this....I am thinking to buying a Canon 850D/t8i for its Dual pixel auto focus.....I am starting to dwell in the realm of wedding photography, I have a 1300D but I am having issues with its auto focus in low light situations so I think that 850d is a nice place for me start (BTW What are your thoughts on this?) so recently I saw somewhere on the internet that their are a limited number of lenses that are compatible with the dual pixel auto focus is this true? if so can anyone tell me whats those compatible Lenses are?

I already have a 50mm stm and I was thinking of buying a efs 24 stm and a youngnuo 85mm will I be able to use these lenses with dual pixel auto focus in 850D?

Your help is really appreciated. Thank You.

I have a T8i and I like it very much. I also had a 1300D and upgraded to the T8i (850.D) for that very reason.

I have a 55-250mm IS STM lens and a 50mm STM that work very well. I think the 15-135mm lens works also.

Here's an explanation of Canon's dual pixel autofocus system. It mentions several Canon models.

I don't know about the lenses you mentioned.
