They're all compatible to some extent, but you probably want full metering compatibility. For that you need an A, F or FA .lens. The A of course won't auto focus...

Hi I just recently bought a ist* DL and have been using it for a
couple months...
Although now I wish I had the DS2, but it wasn't out then.
Anyway, I'm interested in buying a fast 50mm fixed lens, but I'm not
sure which ones are compatible.
I don't know what all the letters in front of the lens names mean and
which ones will work with mine.
I read something about apature rings being set to 'A' but could not
fully comprehend it.
Also I was wondering if other brands like sigma or even canon lenses
were compatible with
my ist* DL.  Any information would help me a great deal, thanks.  I
hope this is the way this digest
works, because I just signed up and have no clue how things run around here.
