I have a Canon AE-1 and a couple lenses. I was looking to buy a Canon Rebel XS. Would the lenses from my AE-1 work on the XS? Thanks!
oops i meant Film to dSLR! sorry!! darn typos...

My dad has an older camera that takes film, and it has 30+ lenses (like for tunnel-vision, etc) I'm not sure on the size, but I think he said something in the 30mm range. He doesn't want me using his camera, because I live at my moms house and he doesn't want it over there, plus I want one that's digital so I can upload my pictures onto the computer fast and easy. I'm looking at used photography cameras, but I've seen that lenses are WAY expensive! I'm poor and 13, providing for myself, and I really want to do this, I even have been offered a full scholarship for a photography class at our poetry house starting in a few weeks, to help get me started off. Thing is, I can't afford to start buying things like lenses, so I was hoping that some of my dad's lenses could fit on a new digital camera, if I got the same size camera. Would that work?

I'm just curious.....I have a couple of film minolta camera's but I'd like to get a digital. I like the Nikon camera's, but have also been told that Sony bought out Minolta and their camera's may work with the lenses I have. Does anyone know about that? And what is your opinion of Sony's digital camera's? Specifically, the ones that allow you to change the lens....not the point and shoot variety.

Want to take existing SLR lenses from my Pentax film camera and place onto new digital SLR (when I get one). Same brand. What do you know?

I have a 5 year old Rebel film camera. I have lots of lenses. I wont to go digital, but wonder if the old lenses work on the new digital camera bodies.

Thanks!

I currently own a Nikon D40, but wanted to learn more about photography, so I enrolled in a black and white photography class at my school. We need a film camera, but since I already have a nice digital setup with a couple lenses, I was wondering what a good film camera for the class would be, that would be under a couple hundred dollars used.
Both Lenses I have are DX lenses, if that helps in what film camera I should get.

I've always been and always will be film camera (leica) photographer, but I'd like a decent cheap digital camera for non-art purposes. are the lumix cameras with the leica lenses good? are they comparable in some way to leica film lenses? what are some good cameras in the 100-150 range? is there somewhere i can go to see examples of image taken with various cameras on the web?
thanks

Um...this is really bad, but somehow I cracked the lens on my canon AE-1. When I look through the viewfinder, I can't see the crack, so is there anyway it could not show up in my pictures? I guess the only way to find out would be to shoot a roll of film with the broken lens. I just don't want to waste one if there's no hope....

i need a lens that has an aperture range that goes from f/1.8 to f/16. does anyone know where i can find one for a decent price like less than 0.00???? also, what slr camera i can use with that lens

My dad gave me a bunch of his photography things from back in his day, I came across this amazing Rollei Magic F&H twin-lens camera and I was wondering what type of film it takes.
I tried searching on google, but I couldn't seem to find anything.
Thank you for your help guys!

I'm not looking to invest a lot of money, I would just like to have an older looking picture with a 35mm lens. I'm not familiar with film cameras so if you have any models, or old favourites, that would be great. Thanks

i have a telephoto lens on the nikon camera right now, but i want to put the regular lens back on to it. i cant remember though if anything will happen to the film or not if i did remove the telephoto lens thats on it and put the regular one on in its place... HELP ME PLEASE...

I'm relatively new at photography. I just bought a used DSLR Nikon D70. I was wondering if you can help me in selecting some new lenses for my camera. Are the lenses used for film cameras compatible? How can I tell if a lens I want to buy online would be compatible for my camera? I'm looking into buying some used ones. Thanks so much.

I have got a black and white standard 35mm film camera which has short rubbish little lens.... can I take my bigger better lens off my sony alpha digital slr or will that not work? i do not want to take off the the lens of the film camera unless i'm sure the other one will fit... thanks...

I inherited a Canon T70 film camera and i don't really understand how to use the camera lenses/features? I don't really know what the lens markings mean ex. 50mm? I would appreciate a quick guide on what everything means on this old school beast?? Thx

I have a Minolta Maxxum autofocus film camera. I have a Maxxum AF Zoom 28-85mm lens. Will this fit on a digital SLR camera? Is it worth it to try and find a camera to fit it or just buy a new lens?

so i'm kinda a die hard nikon fan lol sigma lenses are nice as well
anyways i am taking a photography class learning about film and i have to have a film camera i don't i'm buying one off ebay but i don't know what brand to get all i know is i need a 35mm film camera lens size doesnt matter too much.. is olympus a good brand? i know nikon is

what do you look for when buying a film camera?

i just inherited a fairly old Canon FTb film camera from my father. It may be a little old, but he kept great care of it it works and everything. I was wondering what lenses would be good for shooting photography. I just got into photography a couple months ago, and i was wondering what lenses would be good for shooting BASEBALL GAMES. I wanted to take pictures of my friends playing, but i dont know what lense to get for it. It says in the manual that the FTb only uses Canon FD and FL lenses.

Maybe this lense would be good?:

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.

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?

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?

Why must a camera lens be moved farther from the film to focus on a closer object?

I am looking for a Multi-Purpose lens that will work with my Nikon N70 35mm Film camera body, that won't be really expensive.
