All Rebel film cameras are EOS anyway, so the OP's friend should have EF lenses, all of which will work fine on all the current Canon cameras.
EF Lens compatible film bodies include, but not limited to: 1, 1N, 1V, 3, 10S 10QD, 50E, 100, 630, 650, 3000, 5000, A2 Series, (some Elan series), Kiss, Rebel, RT and XS series. Double check Canon for specifics on other bodies.
*Small sensor specific lenses labeled EF-S, are not cross-compatible with full frame bodies, though EF series fit both (starting with the Canon 300D). Earlier digital bodies including the 10D, 30D, and 60D only accept EF series. Older Canon F-mount manual lenses are not compatible with any digital body. Research, or check your camera manual for specifics.
