Can I used my old manual lens on a Digital SLR?
I am considering buying a Canon SLR towards the end of the yr...will any of my old manual SLR lens' be compatible with the digital SLRs that are made today?
If they don't fit on directly, can I buy an attachment? Seems like a waste to never use the macro, telephoto, wide angle ever again.
I assume that you have FD generation manual focus lenses. If you want to use them, you will need a FD to EOS adapter.
For Canon digital, you will find that the 35mm equivalent focal length is about 1.5 times the physical focal length. A 50mm normal lens will behave like a 75mm lens on a 35mm film camera. This is because the digital sensor is smaller than the 35mm film image size.
If you already have the lens, buying an adapter might be a good option if you are prepared to accept the limitations. It will certainly give you access to some good quality kit while you work out what new lenses you might want to acquire.
