As far as I am aware, the IX is a pefectly standard EOS mount and will
accept any EOS lens.
Bear in mind that the APS format is smaller than the 35mm format and this
results in your EOS lenses having an apparent focal length approximately
(I
think) 25% more than when the lens is on a 35mm body.
For example, an 80-240mm lens on an APS camera seems the same as a
100-300mm
on a 35mm body.

If you use Sigma lenses then you may find that some modes on the camera do
not work with the lens. This (if you do not already know) is due to the
way
that Sigma implement the EOS system in their lenses.
