Best Answer

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.

No, Canon EOS uses a different type connection for its lenses and thus will now work with the "FD" lenses from the AE-1

AE1 lenses are the end of the line of the FD series of manual focus lenses. They are not compatible with the Canon autofocus series that started in the 1980s with the EOS line.

The Canon AE1 lens will not fit a Canon digital.

You can buy an adapter that will allow the lens to work in manual focus mode on the digital camera.

Yes, via a lens adapter available from aftermarket producers. All Canon FD lens to Canon EOS lens mount adapters will contain an optical element to provide correct focus at infinity.

Digital lens with a Canon AE?

It would depend on the type of lens mount. Generally speaking, it would probably not work too well. The AE uses full-aperture TTL metering, and its mechanism for manipulating the diaphragm of the lens is not likely to work with the "digital" lens, although that is not a sure thing. Try to gently mate the lens and body. If the lens will mount, shoot a roll of film and see how it goes.
