Digital Slr Cameras Len
I have a pentax SRL camera with two lens. Can I use these lens on a Digital SLR camera.?
I have a pentax 28 – 80 lens and a tokina 60 – 300. I don’t know if normal and digital lens are interchangeable. If they are usable, which would be the best camera to buy
depends on the mounting of the lenses.
Most manufacturers started to use bayonet mounts for new cameras from the early 80′s on. so there is a fighting chance your lenses may work.. as to what cameras they will work in it will be manufacturer specific…. so that means Pentax cameras (or the Samsung rebadged Pentax).
so thats the good news
now some possible bad news
the leNs may fit on the dSLR body, but it may well not work fully.. that means you may have to manually focus the lens.. not really a problem (assuming the dSLR has a suitable focussing screen in the viewfinder (or if you can add one.))
depending on the lens you may have to manually stop down the lens to take photos… stopping down the lens can cause before taking a light readiong can cause problems with some metering systems.
If I were you I’d consider ditching the 28-80 lens, perhaps keep the telephoto and buy a pentax body. if the 28-80 lens is an especially good lens then consider keepign it and buy a body alone
OR
accept that the lenses don’t owe you anything and start from scratch,, and buy a dSLR becuase its right for you. you don’t have a huge investment in lenses so you may be wiser to buy for the future, and not because of the past.
one thig to bear in mind is that digital cameras due to their design have a multiplier effect when comapring to 35mm file.. for most cameras using the APS-C format this is about 1.5 to 1.7 x’s the nominal size (ie the 60-300 becomes approxiamtely 80…450mm
the only real decision in my mind is you want to save some pennies right now and use your existing len(s) or whether you want to embrace the digital world wholly. Ive heard some suggestions that although you can use lenses from 35mm cameras, quite often the lens quality is compromised when used in a dSLR.
BTW I was very impressed with the Pentax/Samsung dSLR’s I looked at.. looked very good, waterproof, but I was swayed by the Olympus E series lack of weight compared to the bloated size and weight of the Nikon’s, Canon’s and (sadly) Pentax

Canon LA-DC58K 58mm Len S Adapter For G10/ G11/ G12 Cameras $29.95 The PowerShot G10 is the seventh generation of Canon’s lovely G-series PowerShot cameras, and is a great choice for any user wanting superior control in a point and shoot that stands out as much for its styling as for its images. The G10 has dials which change the exposure mode, exposure compensation, and ISO setting, as well as a Canon ‘quick control’ dial on the rear which mimics the familial control of the EOS SLR cameras. These traits are certainly unusual in the point and shoot world. And at less than 2″ thick (46mm) and weighing about 12 ounces (350g), it is a camera to take on a long journey without fanfare. |

EWA EWAEMUBZ100 DSLR ZOOM Housing w/ Oversized lensport Large lens port for len’s w/ 77 or 82 mm filter ring $399 It has a wider frontglass and allows in combination with the C-A 77 adapter (supplied with the housing) and C-A 82 adapter the use of lenses with a filter thread of 77 and 82mm. This means you can use your professional digital SLR camera like the Nikon D1, D2H, D2X, D200 and similar cameras, with most of the professional zoom lenses currently on the market. The fact that the U-BZ 100 can be used with up to 300m lenses, makes it speciffically interesting for canoeists and other out door photographers that want to take pictures of birds and other wild life while in or on the water. Lenses with a smaller filterdiameter can also be used in this housing as long as they have an internal focus. You just need the right step-up ring. The autofocus adapter (AV110) is not included in delivery as it is not needed for this housing. If the optional BF1 lead weight is inserted into the housing, underneath the camera, it becomes even easier to reach the maximum depth of 20 m / 60 ft. Experienced photographers have confirmed, that the auto focus continue to function perfectly. As you descend, the air is pressed into the camera. Due to this, the pressure inside the housing will remain the same as the surrounding water pressure. Due to this, suitable amount of air have been started to be dived inside the housing. The foam pads supplied with the housing are part of this air “reservoir” and additional air should also be blown into the housing, via the valve at the rear, to ensure that the maximum potential volume is being utilised. The U-BZ 100 housing is manufactured from double laminated PVC and has an integrated, optically neutral flat glass port. You can also use the internal flash. It has a pair of non-corrosive and seawater resistant clamping rails which fit together for perfect sealing. They tighten by means of three screw knobs. |
