Lenses that works with dual pixel auto focus in canon eos 850D/t8i

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.

Most lenses will work with DPAF, some may just focus a bit slower.  Don't forget DPAF only works when using Live View, not when using the OVF.

All lenses can use dual pixel auto focus, but you should use STM, USM, nano USM lens for the best focus result
