Re: Old guns for a Canon

The short answer is ... No.

The first lens is definitely for the (old) manual focus
mount used on cameras such as the A-1, T-90, FTb, F-1 and so
forth ... made between (roughly) the 1950's and the 1980's.
It uses what is known as the "FD mount." The newer Canon
cameras, beginning with the EOS series introduced (roughly)
in the late 1980's, use what is sometimes called the EOS
mount, and the lenses are known as the "EF" or "EF-S" series
lenses. The Canon 10D uses the EF series lenses.

If the second lens was from the same source, it probably has
the same mount, and will also not be usable with your Canon
10D.
