Hi all i'm thinking of selling all my compact digital cameras and my two 35mm cameras (a pentax and a canon both with various lenses)can someone tell me if i buy a DSLR body only, either canon or pentax, can i use my original 35mm lenses on a digital body? many thanks

Yes, though the focal length may be different. I used my SLR Nikkor lens for a while on my 1st Nikon DSLR, and it's still being used by a friend's daughter. Club Subversion Crossing the Rubicon FleursduMal bobette's Facebook Beginners Guide to BDSM | ||

You can use your orig lens indeed. but if your new dslr is smaller than a full frame you will get dark corners in your images. If you get a full frame camera such as the 5d, your other canon lens will work but the autofocus may not. www.Bdsmandfetishmentor.co.uk Pro dom/me & Training / Mentoring services available.

Wrong. EF lenses have a bigger circle of focus than EFS lenses. Film camera lenses work fine on cropped sensors. It's digital EFS lenses that do not have a big enough circle of focus for full frame sensors or 35mm film cameras. If the Canon film camera is an old one that uses manual focus FD lenses these do not fit any EOS camera whether film or digital.
I can't help you with Pentax but if you say what Canon lenses you have I can give you advice as to whether they are best sold or worth keeping Happiness is a warm bum Edited 29 Jan 12, 12:36 PM by tanken | ||

With Canon, the EF lenses from Eos 35mm SLRs work fine on Eos digital cameras, although the field of view is different because of the smaller sensor - a 50mm focal length will give you a shot more comparable to a 70mm on a film camera. I'm happily using 3 old EF lenses, including a Sigma long zoom from my old cam on the new one. The EF-S lenses sold for digital Eos aren't backwardly compatible onto film cameras though.

Hi thanks for answering, the Canon is a Canon A1 35mm and it has a 50mm and a 70-210 macro zoom

None of the lenses will fit a modern Canon EOS camera. Your best bet is to sell everything together as a kit. You won't get a lot of money for it these days.
If you're like me you would just keep it for occasional use and buy your DSLR in addition

You would be lucky to get £30/£40 for you that equipment so if I were you I'd keep it and don't fall out of love with film. Use it in conjunction with digital. | ||

Film I believe still has the highest resolution, so with film and I know it is a bit of messing around, scan film images on a high res scanner, but then film photography was in the past all about messing around, dark rooms and smelly chemicals and stinking for days. Everything we are is the result of what we have thought so it stands what we think, we become. |
