Can I use my old 35mm film lenses on this camera

Yes! that is one of the advantages of the Pentax. You still have to input the focal lens manually as there is no way that the camera finds out about it by itself but you will be prompted to do it by the camera when you open it. Then you use the green button to get the right exposure. The camera is great for a photographer!

From what I understand "yes" you may need an "aperture ring" for some of them however if it is a "FA" specifies the autofocus lens series compatible with both film and digitalSLR bodies. "FA-J" designates a line of cheaper autofocus lenses without an aperture ring, compatible with both film and digital SLR bodies. "A" designates a line of old manual focus lenses. There will be no autofocus due to the age of the old lens(s). manual only.

If the old lenses as Pentak K-mount lenses; but check with the experts on Pentax Forums (which has FAQs about this).

Yes, but you will need an adapter (sold by Pentax) to convert the screw on lenses to the bayonet type. The older bayonet types work fine. When using the screw on lenses (with the adapter), you must use manual mode on the camera (no automatic focusing or aperature control).

yes if you prefer wider angles.Also take in to consideration the type of camera you have if it is not a full fame ( depending on the crop ratio) then that 80 is more like a 120 mm so with a 35 is more like a 50 mm.

No. This is an adaptor that will allow the older 35mm lenses to mount on the new micro 4/3 cameras.

Check the front of your lens, if it shows 58mm you're good to go. They simply screw in to the existing lens.

No problem then. All of your current lenses will work with any of the digital Rebels, the 60D, 50D, etc. and the 7D.By the way, if you still use the old version of the 18-55mm Rebel kit lens without IS optical stabilization, it may pay to get the camera with the newer IS kit lens. Its a much better lens than the old version.

I haven't tried to do so, but I believe it's possible. As someone else said, you probably need the lenses made specifically for the camera

You may use the old lenses with the digital camera. If the lenses have the A lock on the aperture ring the camera can still be in full auto mode. I have 4 lenses for my old 35mm camera and they all work with my new K20D.

Yes, you can. I do it all the time and have for years.I keep my lenses for two weeks before I throw them away.

Yes. That camera uses the Micro Four-Thirds mounting system. This lenses is compatible with and only with cameras with that mounting system.

If your old Canon Rebel is a film camera, then yes it should work. If your old Canon Rebel is a digital camera, you will have to look closer at the lens. If the lens is an EF lens, it will work. If it is an EF-S lens it will not work. If the lens is a Sigma lens and has "DC" in the name, it will not work. If the lens is a Tokina lens and has "DX" in the name, it will not work. If the lens is a Tokina and has "Di II" in the name, it will not work.

Hi Makikonu, Yes you can use old third party lenses by using a proper adapter. -Anthony

Yes you can, provided your camera lens is at least 49 mm. It is a great thing to have!

I am not sure all of those items are compatible. For a card, I just used a SD HC card. My old lenses were A-mount auto-focus as is the A77II lenses so they worked. As for the flash, my old flash I used with the 35mm was not compatible but I don't know about more recent flashes such as you might have with the A65. I do understand that there is an adapter that might work with the old flash with the newer cameras. I am planning to investigate that option. Has to be much cheaper than buying a new flash. Hope that helps.

i use to have an old lens with a new camera, it was compatible but the pictures didn´t seem correct.

Yes, but more interestingly, also heritage hand ground movie lenses from even the 50s! also there is a good Olympus OMDEM Facebook group that answers lots of user questions.

yes, I have an older Canon Rebel and most canon lenses are interchangeable.
2246938
Yes. You can use most canon lenses on that body. You just can't use lenses meant for full frame cameras.
