Best Answer

The Canon AE-1 camera uses FD mount lenses. Canon made FD mount cameras and lenses from 1971 through 1987. FD lenses are manually focused. FD lenses are no longer being manufactured, but are available for incredibly low prices on the used market. Ebay is one good source.

Is a Canon AE-1 lens compatible with the Canon digital SLR EF lens mount?

The AE-1 lenses have Canon's FD breech-lock lens mount. They are not compatible with Canon's later EF lens mount. It may be possible to find an adapter, but performance would be lost, and the lens will not have the features of an EF lens. Best to save your money and get a dedicated lens, either Canon or Sigma.
