Your 18-55 lens is an “EF-S” lens designed to fit only “Crop” sensor cameras. It will not fit your 5D Mk III because it has a “Full Frame” sized image sensor.

Will old Canon lenses fit new DSLR?

The heartbreaking reality is that the old FD and FL series lenses CAN be used with newer DSLRs, but an adapter is needed to convert it to the EF mount used by DSLRs. That will get them properly mounted to the new camera. Some adapters have an internal lens or two to correct for the distance change to the sensor.

What is the difference between EF and EF-S lenses?

Can I use EF-S lenses on full-frame?

Interestingly, though EF-S lenses are not compatible with full-frame cameras, Canon’s APS-C cameras are fully compatible with all EF lenses. Bottom line: Canon’s EF-S lens mount is designed specifically for their APS-C cameras and extend deeper into the camera’s body than standard EF lenses.
