| New D/SLR body: Canon, Nikon or ?? … and WHY? Lenses? |
January 25, 2010 | 02:13 am |
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!

| I,m thinking of getting Digital SLR which takes old lenses. How does this affect camera functions.? |

If the old lenses are manual type, how does thius affect camera auto focus, metering etc. Can i actually use manual lenses on a Digital Camera.

| What lenses to use with a Nikon D60 camera? |
November 21, 2009 | 08:54 pm |
Can the D60 digital camera use any older Nikkor lens from the film cameras? If so, is the aperture ring functional or does the camera meter the light automatically?
What I mean is, what older lenses will use the full-functionality of the D60 features, and what type are simply compatible but may not have auto-focus or some other capability? I see lots of older Nikon lenses on ebay for 0 or less but not sure if they are a good option.

| Canon lenses and DSLR question? |
October 12, 2009 | 01:58 am |
I have an old, but good, Canon SLR. It's an EOS Elan. I have three lenses for it. Would any or all of them fit the Canon XSi? I know the sensor might not be the same size as a 35mm frame, but that might be ok. The EOS lenses are auto focus.

| I need one or two good starter lenses for a Canon Digital Rebel XSi? |
October 7, 2009 | 06:32 pm |
I'm an advanced beginner digital photographer, but I've never used a DSLR before, and I'm going to receive an XSi (just the body) for my birthday. However, I have no clue about what lens to get with it. I'd like a lens that can do a variety of things: auto focus, IS, and can do telephoto and wide-angle. Macro would be nice too; i like to take close-ups of plants and flowers. I'm also on a budget, so the cheapest would be best. Any suggestions? It needs to be a Canon brand lens, because I've heard that the XSi can be picky about lenses. Thanks!
Thanks so much! However, if I had to choose only one of those, do you think that the 18mm-55mm is definitely a necessity, and the 55mm-250mm is really good, but not essential? Or the other way around? Or do I definitely need both?
Wow, everyone's so helpful! One last thing: what exactly do those two lenses do? Is the 55mm-250mm more for close-up or far away?

| ‘broken’ nikon slr lens? |
September 27, 2009 | 02:28 am |
my friend dropped my nikon slr lens while borrowing it, it didnt break so much as just pop apart. the only real problem is the manual/auto focus option switch cable/line got detatched from the inside of the mechanism. im pretty sure the lens could easily be popped back together, i just wouldnt be able to use auto focus anymore. should i take it somewhere to have them re-attach the cable? or will they just tell me i need a new lens?

I understand I may not get the fancy features of auto focus etc and that everything will be manual but will the lens fit and take nice pictures?

I'm having trouble with my Canon EF 35mm f/2 Wide Angle Lens. I think its the auto focus feature that is broken. Where should I get this repaired at?

| Can older SLR lenses be used with a Nikon D90? |

| Are Nikon 35mm SLR lenses compatible with D60 or D80? |
July 15, 2009 | 04:31 pm |
I have a Nikon N65 with 2 lenses:
1. Nikon AF Nikkor 28-80mm 1:3.3-5.6G
2. Nikon AF Nikkor 70-300mm 1:4-5.6G
I am planning to get a DSLR. I am wondering if these lenses will fit with either D60 or D80 and support auto focus and complete metering. If it's possible then I will just buy the body and use these lenses and save some money. If these lenses can not auto focus and I have to buy the whole kit then I may instead look at Canon XSi. Does anyone have similar experience with there specific lenses? Any help will be greatly appreciated.

| Will an old style Sigma DL 35mm SLR lens work on my Sony DSLR? |
July 11, 2009 | 11:50 pm |
Iv been offered a cheap Sigma 28 200 IF DL SLR lens (Minolta Mount). Will this work on my Sony A200 in auto focus mode and if so will the picture quality suffer as the A200 is not a full frame camera? Thanks

| will my generic lenses for my canon AF work on a new digital body? |
July 6, 2009 | 06:38 am |
OK, i currently have an Canon Elan 7. for that camera i have a few lenses.. but not canon lenses. they are by manufacturers such as sigma, tameron, etc.. i have read that Canons auto focus lenses will work on the new digital body cameras(i am looking at getting a 20D), but they never say anything about the non-mfg lenses. does anyone know if they will work as well, or is this not a clear cut answer?
Thanks!

| Old Nikon and Maxxum Autofocus lenses on digital? |
July 5, 2009 | 05:08 am |
I want to know if my Nikon G autofocus lenses will work right on a newer Nikon digital?
Also, can the Maxxum lenses work ok on a new Minolta digital?
Does auto focus work on either? I guess they are Minolta or A new name?????
