Hi,
I am thinking about buying a D-SLR. I own a Nikon F55 and a canon power shot A400. The Digital SLR can’t be to expensive I am thinking maximum 400 £.. Do anyone have any suggestion for a camera I can buy? And is it possible to use film SLR lens on a D-SLR? (My lens is a
Sigma zoom 28-80mm 1:3.5-5.6 2 Macro Ø55)

Hello there. I have inherited a Minolta X-700 35mm SLR from my father. The camera works great, but I really want to upgrade to a digital SLR. I have more than 6 lenses and I just need to know is there any way that I can use them on newer SLRs? If so, which ones and/or would I need an adapter? Any extra information is greatly appreciated. Thanks!
The lenses I have are all manual focus. I hope this helps! (:

I have a Pentax IST dl DSLR Camera, and I know that the lenses that will fit are somewhat of a wide variety, but I wanted to know if lenses from a Pentax MX will fit on this, in manual mode of course. Thanks a lot.

I have a Canon 400D (Rebel xti/ EOS 400). Currently I have an 18-55 lens.

I like shooting landscapes and buildings but I'm told that my current lens (18-55) is already pretty wide to begin with. Would a telephoto give me a wider variety of possible shots? Would a 10-22 lens just be redundant because i have an 18-55?
I should have clarified that although i enjoy shooting landscapes I'm also open to the idea of beginning to take more photos of wildlife, sports etc. In other words take advantage of what a telephoto lens does best and forget my landscape obsession.

I guess what it comes down to is this:

am I better suited with an
18-55 + telephoto combo

OR

18-55 + 10-22 combo.

which pair would produce the better variety of shots?

I have a Canon S51S. I also have a few lenses that are for my older non digital Canon camera and want to know is there is an adapter to attach my Canon zoom EF 75-300mm (from the older model) to the S515. I have seen adapters on the Canon site but am not sure if that is JUST for the extra lenses that they do for the S51S on the site.
Many thanks

Also, I know it is possible to get a mount for the E400 that allows me to use older OM system Olympus lenses, but is it also possible to get mounts that correspond to other older lens systems?

I have another camera/lens related question... Will the lens work on the Nikon D80?

One reason that I chose the Canon camera over others was the fact that I have a 100-300 Canon lens from a film camera. However, when I take pictures with this lens they appear to be soft or there appears to be a fog compared with the lens that came with the camera. The lens is a 100-300 4.5-5.6 with a Rokunar UV filter on it. Any suggestions that you can offer would be greatly appreciated.

does each slr company make its own lenses?
I know canon makes canon lenses. same with nikon.
Does sony use other peoples lenses? Or do they make their own? Same with Olympus?

I have this camera for bout a few good years and it isnt a bad camera but just the other day i found out my camera was jammed..i thought i just had no battery so i recharged the battery and put it back in but when i tried to slide the cover over the lens it wouldnt fully close...so i think my lens is jammed..it sucks because it is sucking all my battery out! the camera still works but it is just that problem..i kinda figuered that i need to unscrew the camera and try to fix what is wrong inside but i have no idea on how to fix cameras..i dont want to break it any more than what is already broken...but to just say the cover wont fully close so my lens thing is open...does anyone know how i can fix this without going to a mechanic or something???

I was searching for an external flash for my Canon XSi when I came across this website.
http://www.overstock.com/Electronics/Rokinon-E-TTL-II-Power-Zoom-Canon-compatible-Flash/4046978/product.html

It states that Rokinon is Canon EOS rebel compatible. It is also ETTL_II flash.

Has anyone heard of this flash? Is it suitable for my XSi? Is is really compatible with Canon EOS SLR and DSLR camera?

the camera i bought does not come with the lens, just the body. I am looking for a macro lens definitely because i want to take close ups... and just another pretty good lens to use the rest of the time.... i can't tell which ones are good and which ones are not and what the numbers and 'mm' mean! please help! any other suggestions on other types of lenses?

I was thinking of getting a Tamron 28-80mm f/3.5-5.6 with Precision Design 0.25x Fisheye Lens Kit because I don't want to spend an arm and a leg. Was wondering if that's a good one.

I have a lens from my Nikon N2000 that I want to use on my D60, but when I put the lens on it says that there is no lens attached. Can you use it? Do you have to put it on a certain setting?

Hi all, I have a number of old 35mm SLR autofocus bodies - 3xi, 5xi, 7000 with a number of lenses: 70-200 f2.8 sigma zoom, 400mm f5.6 sigma telephoto lens, and I am planning to buy a Minolta 5D SLR. I really would like to use these lenses on a 5D SLR body, I know it is possible, BUT I would like some feedback on people who have, or have used the new Minolta 5D. Is the autofocus fast enough?? I take a lot of sport photos: rugby, hockey etc, as well as low light concert photograpy. Can the camera handle the pace??? I would appreciate any feedback. Many thanks!!!

Okay, I was interested in buying this camera for my photography class, the Canon 35mm SLR Rebel TI, but my teacher told me I should get a camera with fixed lens instead of zoom lens. What cameras have those?
I meant Canon EOS Rebel TI 35mm SLR manul camera
I'm a beginner, I don't reallyknow the difference between fixed and zoom lens...please help!

Any suggestions for a good macro lens for nikon D80?

i was thinking of getting this camera:

http://www.usa.canon.com/consumer/controller?act=ModelInfoAct&fcategoryid=183&modelid=17479

but the problem is, i dont think that you can add lenses to it, and the SLRs are too expensive. i dont want anything over 0.
help!

I would like to purchase new digital camera Sony / Nikon / Canon; so could you please suggest me what are the key aspects I should inspect before I purchase like lenses type, optical zoom, Digital zoom and etc?

i'm looking for a non wide angle camera.
or one that has a much smaller wide angle than 35mm

I have a nikon D90 SLR with a 50 mm f/1.8 and an 18-200 vr lens and a nikon sb600 flash. I bought these so I can take "professional" looking pictures. I have learned about basics of photography such as aperture and how it effects depth of field, shutter speed and freezing motion, bounce flash etc.

But despite all these my pictures are indistinguishable from a point and shoot camera. Why is this? Is it because all professional pictures are edited using photoshop?? I don't think that is the case, not everyone would photoshop every single uploaded picture on flickr. I mean I go on flickr and look at pictures taken with the same lenses and better or worse cameras, and they look AMAZING, just the color and detail and sharpness is incredible. I'm not a total amateur, I know how to use the camera very well and I have read the manual inside and out but still no luck with professional pictures. Just look at the sample pictures on nikonusa's website with the d90, and other places, those are the kind of pictures I want and that's why I spent so much freakin money. Not just to get the same results at my canon SD750 point and shoot.

Any advice? or do I pretty much need to be a photoshop wiz? ( i have photoshop CS2) If that's the case then I could have done that with my 300 dollar point and shoot instead of spending 2k on my slr and lenses.

As an artist, I use a Polaroid 600 camera to take referance shots. The plastic lens simple camera just barely cuts it. I have a Yashica 2 1/4 x 2 1/4 double lens reflex camera that takes 120 film and a Graflex Nortia that takes the same. The format is almost the same size as Polaroid 600. I also have a couple of Nikon 35 mm's. Is there not an attachment that snaps onto the back, allowing me to take instant, high quality Polaroid 600 photos? Also, anyone know if they make Polaroid 600 film in Black and White?
