    Hello,
    I use a 30D and EF 35-350 mm f/3.5-5.6L USM and 400 mm f/5.6 L EF USM lenses for bird photography.
    I would like to be able to shoot video of local raptors in flight by changing the body that has video capability. Is that possible with the lenses I have?
    Thank you.

    EF lenses will be compatible with any full frame or crop body canon dslr. You can also use a adapter to mount these lenses on a mirror-less, they are large lenses so on a smaller camera I would make sure to support them by the lens and collar not the camera mount.

    Thank you very much, Johnsey. Perhaps my search skills are lacking but I couldn't find any anyone showing filming with a telephoto lens. For some unknown reason, folks do love showing how to unpackage products though.
    I am considering buying a used D30 to couple with my lenses, and my for fun photography that might do the trick. Thanks again.

    Mistake. I meant to upgrade to 70D.
