Is there a way to use Film SLR lenses on a digital Slr Camera?
I recently got a Digital Slr Camera (Canon Rebel XT) and my father has several good lenses for a more film-based SLR camera. The lenses are different in the fact that the old have 3 "Blade" pieces of metal type at the bottom instead of the new lens relatively flat. Is there anything I can get to use the old lenses on my New Camera? I have really wanted to use Thanks guys that lens, make a little more research and see if there is an adapter available.
First, determine what brand of camera father his glasses were made for. If a Canon FD mount type (FTB, AE-1), then it requires an adapter. If the lenses are Minolta MC / MD mount (SRT-202, XG-9, XE-7, X-700), then you need an adapter. This adapter can often be found on eBay. If a Nikon lenses are not an adapter for use in Canon DSLR. Although there are adapters to allow the use of non-Canon EOS mount, there are limitations that must be considered. 1) Some of the lenses can not focus to infinity. 2) Everyone who uses an adapter will to focus manually. 3) All lenses require the use of "stop down" metering. What this means is that since there is no mechanical connection or power between the camera and lens aperture stays where you set it. Whether you're shooting wide open (f1.4, 1.7) this is not a problem – the display is bright. However, if you stop down for greater depth of field (f5.6, f8, etc), the display goes dark – making it difficult if not impossible, to focus. So you focus wide open and then stop down the aperture you want, metro and take a picture.
