    The lenses of the film camera are full-frame, so they can be used with any camera corresponding to the mount.

    However, due to compatibility issues between batches and manufacturers, functions such as metering and focusing may only be available manually.

    Your photographic lens can generally only be used on film cameras, as for the mount, it depends on whether it is PK or MD, generally there are many photographic lenses PK mount, that is, it can be used on binder, Ricoh, cameras, and now binder DSLR may not support this kind of manual old lens.

    Of course. 1. The lens of the Canon EOS film camera era can be used on the current Canon digital SLR, which can achieve all functions. The Nikon mount is also very well used.

    Pentax has PK-mount lenses that can be used on the current Pentax SLR. Lenses from the Minolta film era can be used on Sony.

    2. There is a conversion factor for the focal length of digital cameras, Nikon X1 5, Canon X1 6, that is to say, Nikon 24mm to digital cameras becomes 36mm.

    3. The Nikon D40, D40X, and D60 do not have a motor, and the lenses of film cameras generally do not have motors, so they can only be manually adjusted when used on these digital cameras. Machines above D50 and D70s can autofocus.

    Yes. Nikon's cameras are compatible with old-fashioned lenses, except that fully manual lenses don't autofocus. Lenses with a D-line also don't have autofocus on some low-end models.

    The mount of the early Minolta SLR camera was MD (MC in the early stage), and when it launched the world's first 7000 (AF camera), the camera (lens) mount was changed to MA, and the two could not be used universally. When Canon introduced the AF camera, it also changed the mount from FD to EF, which was also not universal, and because Canon had a large number of Canon at the time, it caused disgust among users. Probably to avoid this phenomenon, Nikon continued to use the AI mount when it introduced the AF camera (which seems to be the F501) until now.

    There are many situations in different combinations, and one of the most earthy cases is that there is no communication between the lens and the camera body at all, for example, connecting the M42 mount lens to a DSLR or a single battery.

    Then, all machines can use M gear, aperture lens to decide, and other fuselage to decide.

    All Pentax bodies and Nikon D7000 and above can be determined by A-stop, aperture lens, and other bodies, and the body can be automatically adjusted by metering** time.

    Film camera lenses and DSLR lenses are not directly universal. Although the lenses used in both cameras can be replaced, they have different mounting interfaces. The lenses used in film cameras usually use M42, P K, Contax Yashica, etc., while SLR cameras use Pipaiheng EF, F, etc.

    Therefore, the lenses used by these two types of cameras are not compatible.

    However, if an adapter is available, the lens of the film camera can be used on a DSLR camera. An adapter is a connector that is installed between a camera and a lens to convert them. So, if you buy an adapter, you can make a film camera lens for use on a DSLR camera.

    However, it should be noted that adapters will have a certain impact on image quality and focusing effect, as they will increase the distance and depth between the lens and the camera.

    In the age of modern digital cameras, many camera systems will use Nikon or Canon to mount film camera lenses directly on their cameras. Such a solution may be advantageous over adapters, as there is no additional connector between the lens and the camera.

    Overall, while it is possible to use an adapter to use a film camera lens on a DSLR, it is not a perfect solution. If you need to get better results, you may need to purchase the appropriate DSLR lens to assist you with the task. <>

    So far, Minolta has only 18-200 lenses

    18-70 These three are just not to be used on film machines. Strictly speaking, these three are also Tenglong OEM, not Minolta's own things. (Mainly used for half-frame SLR, there is a very serious vignetting angle on the full-frame digital SLR, which is mainly the reason why the imaging circle of the half-frame SLR is smaller than the full-frame when the lens is designed).

    Any other Minolta AF lens can be used on Sony machines. (MD or MC ports cannot be used directly).

    There is essentially no difference between the lens of film SLR and DSLR, because the difference between film SLR and DSLR is only the difference in imaging methods, one is to use negative**, and the other is to use CCD or CMOS**.

    The old man of Minolta is not recommended to buy, I have used two Minolta lenses, and there is a situation of poor resolution in the general banquet, it is better to buy Sony's new head, but individual heads can buy Minolta, which is the ones that Sony is producing now, such as 100

    328g etc.

    ED lenses have existed since the film era, and they are not necessarily related to digital lenses. ed is extra

    The abbreviation of LowDispersion is the so-called ultra-low dispersion lens, which is also used by Olympus, in fact, the same is true for Sigma's SLD lenses, which are just called differently.

    There are some digital lenses such as Nikon's DX head, Canon's EF-S head, Olympus' 4 3 system, and Sigma

    Lenses specially designed for APS format digital cameras by Tokina and other manufacturers cannot be used on traditional 135 cameras because the image circle is relatively small, otherwise there will be a black image circle. The orange friend thick 135 heads can generally be used in the APS format of the digital SLR on the round town.

    To put it bluntly, in the 135 field, the film camera lens with the same interface can be used on the current DSLR, while the digital special lens cannot be used on the previous film camera.

    Olympus' 4 3 system is a new system, and Olympus' previous SLR lenses cannot be used on this system.

    Most of Nikon's optical DSLR lenses can be used on digital SLRs, but there are a few things to note:

    1. When used in DX format DSLR (all models below D3 and D700), the focal length of the lens should be converted, that is, the 50mm header on the optical camera becomes a 75mm portrait on the DSLR.

    2. The lens with aperture ring (D) is used on the DSLR, which should be locked on the minimum aperture, and the aperture should be adjusted on the body.

    3. Some DSLRs do not have a motor on the body, and the AF-S lens can autofocus, but the AF lens cannot autofocus and becomes MF.

    4. Because the imaging device of DX format is smaller than that of 135 film, some wide-angle lenses are prone to vignetting.

    5. If you go to the FX format DSLR in one step, such as D700, D3, D3X, then congratulations to the landlord, nothing has changed, how to use it originally, how to use it now, that is, these fuselages cost a lot of silver.
