Canon lenses from my old AE1... film. Which I think is the problem.

Mike,

Then they are not EF lenses. They are probably FD lenses.

I had an AT-1 camera that had the FD mount. I got a Fotodiox Pro adapter to allow me to use my FD lenses on my Canon T6. Just be aware that it will be manual focus, and you have to manually set your aperture.

You can get one of those adapters on Amazon here:
