See up-thread. EF-S is made for cropped (1.6x) sensors on digital cameras. EF-S (layman's way of remembering - S = Small sensor). You can try, but it won't work. Film cameras need EF.

Yeah you can't use EF-S on EF bodies. Check out the 50mm f/1.8, 28mm f/2.8, 24mm f/2.8 lenses as well, I think they'll be cheaper than the 40mm. I'd guess that you can get the 50mm f/1.8 for £50 if you keep a close eye on eBay.
And as noted up thread it seems to be cheaper to buy a camera with lens attached! So keep an eye on those too and resell the body (or keep it like I have for some reason).
Edit: Do you live in London? I'm sure there's some kind person down there who could lend you a lens for a trip.

..unfortunately not - but your girlfriend will be able to use your EF lens on her 70D!

So my EOS 300 is waiting for me at the post office. Haven't got the cash to buy a lens till pay day. Any reason I can't use my girlfriend's 18-55mm that came with her 70D? My camera is EF, I believe her lens is EF-S. Can't tell whether that matters. #noob
