Which are the digital cameras that are compatible to external lenses? If a camera support external lens then is it compatible to particular brand only? Can I buy a digital camera worth 0 -0 and a lens worth 0- 0 which is compatible to that camera?

I have a Nikon F801s (analogue SLR) with the flash and lenses mentioned in my question. I now want to buy a digital SLR (Nikon D80) and am therefore interested to know if my old flash and lenses will be compatible with the Nikon D80

I have lenses already that would work.

Someone gave me a Nikon D40x, will a lens from a SLR work with the new DSLR? I have some Nikon lenses from my previous "film" camera, that are auto focus but will they worth the D40x....

I'm looking to buy a D-SLR soon. I'm just a student, and it will be my first so I don't need the works, but I also want it to be a camera that I can keep for a while and sort of "grow into". I'm not sure exactly what my budget is, but my question is this: If I buy a particular brand of camera, am I locked into buying that brand of lenses as well? Like say I buy a Nikon, can I only buy Nikon lenses?

I've checked the lenses for spots and I haven't found any but in the upper to mid left P.O.V for the camera there's a small black spot but it isn't always there.

what do the millimeters mean on lenses? the lower the number means what? and the higher the number means what? when a lens is 18-200mm the price is 579, but then a 80-200mm is over 800 bucks. why the big difference?

this is the website i was looking at.

Hi,
I have been reading a lot on this deal w/ the Nikon SLR cameras...is the 0 promotion for the lenses still active? Thx.

I believe its possible, but i really just need help finding what adapter i need.

Im using a nikon d100 right now, but my grandfather game me a plethora of film lenses, from multiple makers, like kiron, kalimar, albinar and tokina.
i love shooting digital and it would be a shame for the thousands of dollars worth of lenses that i have to sit around while im shooting digital.

any help?

I'm looking to get a lenses for my digital SLR nikon. I was wondering if someone could tell me if I am standing in the same position and I want to zoom in on something (right now I have a 35-135mm zoom) would it be better to go with a smaller number like 15-55mm or go 7-300mm? Which one is going to give me more of closer shot when standing in the same position?

I may have already asked this question but it went into the wrong catagory maybe. Anyway, I have a bunch of older ai lenses which are very high quality. I'm having to switch to a new digital Nikon. Which body will accept old lenses. Also can I achieve the old crome look easily with a new digital camera? I need to get compressed long lens shots that can blend and look like the magic that is crome film. I hate to change but it's tough to get crome film processed nowadays. What to do? Thankyou. Stay sharp!

I think i have made up my mind on getting a D80.

i have found 2 combinations of lenses i could get

(they are nikon lenses ofcourse)

1- 18-55 mm
2- 70-300 mm VR

(,330)

OR

1- 18-55mm
2- 70-300mm
3- 50mm f/1.8

(,125)
(this one comes with some random accessories aswell)

i shoot mainley portraits and landscapes. sometimes wildlife and sports. i travel a lot aswell

which combination should i get?
They are all Nikkor nikon lenses
they are all also AF

the apertures for both combos:

18-55 is f/3.5 - 5.6
70-300 VR is f/4 - 5.6
50mm is f/1.8

If I purchase a Nikon digital SLR camera will I be able to use the telephoto lenses from my film SLR Nikon?

Hello,

I am thinking of getting my first SLR - Nikon D80
My budjet is up to 1100
I would want to get just a body for D80 and a lens seprately
I would not want to buy standard lens 18-55 but one that has better zoom that fits my budjet

Can you recommend any lenses that fit my budjet?

Thanks.

My father has a Nikon 70 and I am thinking about gettig into Digital SLR with the Nikon 40 are the lenses compatable?

I have a Nikon D80 and I wanted to know if a lens like this:
Canon Zoom Telephoto EF 70-200mm f/4.0L USM Autofocus Lens
would work on my D80?
If it wouldn't work directly is there some lens convertor kit I could use?

should i get the kit with the 18-55mm lens in it, or should i buy the body, and then spend a little extra money on a seperate lens? also, if you have any other suggestions for digital SLRs or websites to shop at, that would be amazing.

the lens are 105 macro 2.8 d, 60marco 2.8, 300 f4.0 ed, and a 24-50 f3.3-4.5 zoom

Tamron Zoom Telephoto AF 75-300mm f/4.0-5.6 LD Macro Autofocus Lens , should i buy a different type lens to do a wedding or will the lens i have work just fine. Thanks for any advice.

SLR LENSES

I would like to stay within the Standard Nikon zoom choices. Also which standard non - zoom AF lenses are OK to be used on the D80.

I've been doing all my photography with so-called "prosumer grade" digital cameras and have recently begun to understand the limits of those types of cameras. So I'm starting to think about buying a SLR or DSLR body and some lenses. Friends have given me differing opinions on what brand I should go with. I wanted to see what you all have to say about it.

I'm hoping to get some insight into lens quality, availability and options as well as info about the bodies themselves.

Thanks!
Sorry. I wasn't clear on what I was looking for.

I'm hoping to get facts and opinions about brands - not necessarily particular bodies - because I understand that that various brands have different selections of lenses and other accessories with different features and pros/cons on various aspects of quality and so forth. And you're sort of bound to that brand once you buy a body - at least for lenses and some accessories.

I'd like to understand the diffs between the quality and selection of lenses, mostly. Things like whether one brand has a better auto-focus mechanism for example. Or another brand has less spherical distortion in these certain lines of wide angles - that sort of thing.

Thanks!
