My grandfather has tons of old Canon film camera lenses and filters and I'm wondering if when I buy a XS or XT if I'll have to get a lens too or if I can use his lenses.
Sorry not sure what kind of camera he has.
Thanks.

If his camera is an EOS it will. All EF lenses are fully compatible with all EOS camera bodies. EF lenses first started being made in 1987.
You will have to look at the lenses. If the lens says something like CANON EF LENS on the front, it will work fine. If it says something like CANON FD LENS, then no, it will not work.
As for filters, they will work on any lens that has the same diameter threading (ie 58mm filter works with all 58mm lenses).

you have to check before you buy them. The rebel will fit old rebel and same sized lenses, but Cannon made a bunch of different sids cameras with different mounts. I use a Digital XT, and use some old lenses I had, but you’ll have to check first.
It is possible, I’d do some googling first.

If his lenses were made after 1988, then yes. Otherwise no. FD lenses will not work on EOS cameras.
The filters will fit any camera that has the same size filter threads on each lens.
