It is EF mount, originally meant for full frame (36mm x 24mm) cameras, but can be used with Canon digital cameras just like the EF-S mount lenses which are designed specifically for APS-C sized sensors. 50mm becomes 80 mm when used with APS-C cameras like 450D, 550D, 7D etc. It is a prime lens...

What about the old Canon EF 50mm f/1.0L USM? But it is discontinued now. Canon EF 50mm lens - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Just now checked the warranty status of my Seagate 500GB one purchased very recently. Status is shown as "unknown"!:@
