Last update: 25/05/2015
The aim with these tables below to collect the lenses for Canon camera system in one place in order to overview them more easily. I list third party lenses as well, not just the native Canon lenses.

Canon Ef-s lenses only for crop sensor cameras – Canon lenses A Z

These lenses listed below in the table in the upper region of the page only can be used on Canon crop sensor cameras not on Full frame cameras. Other lenses below with Full frame compatibility can be used on Canon Full frame and crop sensor cameras as well.
