All EF lenses will work fine. You’re better off buying some new glass for the 7D instead of buying the MKII. Based on the fact that you’re asking this question, it doesn’t seem as if you have enough photographic experience to justify the ownership of the 7D, let alone a MKII.

Canon 7D reliable purchase? Good deal?
Okay, so im looking into purchasing a Canon 7D for filming, as well as photography.
Found some good deals on eBay, some REALLY good deals, but I noticed that they said
“This is a direct import item and is 100% identical to the USA model, manufactured in the same factories by the same workers. Direct Import items do not carry a USA manufacturer warranty.”
and they sell warranties starting at $500….
but for deals like this

would it be worth it?
Hey guys, what about the kit that **happy to help** posted? Is it legit, or should i just stay away from that too?
Those are known as “grey market” cameras. Though I haven’t needed to make use of Canon’s warranty on my cameras, I’ve used it several times for lenses. There is simply less worry/hassle knowing I can send my camera directly to Canon for warranty services and be sure of the service. That cannot be said for grey market equipment serviced by third party warranties. For that reason, I would choose to buy from an factory authorized dealer and get the full Canon warranty. Also, the price quoted here doesn’t seem like such a great deal if the warranty is an additional $500.
This kit in particular is designed to sucker in people who don’t know much about SLRs. While usable, the 28-135mm IS lens is not the best lens for the 7D. But it is the inclusion of this lens the seller users to justify the “deal” he’s giving you with dubious screw on adapters for wide-angle and telephoto coverage. Experienced DSLR owners won’t use screw-on adapters, we buy an entirely different lens for wide-angle or telephoto use. The 7D isn’t exactly a lightweight camera so I also have to wonder if the included tripod is up to the task of supporting the camera securely. The only “extra” items I see in this kit that offer any value are the 28-135mm lens and the 8GB CF cards. Even then, those aren’t ideal selections and I’d rather buy a cheaper camera with better lenses unless I just had to have the features of the 7D.
You could readilly buy a 7D from an authorized dealer with the 28-135mm (http://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/product/647503-REG/Canon_3814B010_EOS_7D_SLR_Digital.html) or even the 18-135mm (http://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/product/680674-REG/Canon_3814B016_EOS_7D_Digital_SLR.html) lens for $1800 (with full Canon warranty) and spend the $500 you are thinking of spending on a warranty to buy the CF cards, flash and tripod of your choice. Again, I’m not a fan of either of these lenses for use on the 7D but, these are the kits Canon offers for the 7D if you want a kit lens. By the time the 7D came around, I was an established shooter and I already owned the lenses I wanted so I didn’t bother with the kit lens.
