I have some old 35 mm slr film lens (nikon) and was wondering if they will fit on a new digital slr camera that's possibly a canon will they fit and will it work? I put the nikon lens on a
film pentax camera and it worked but idk if it's different! Help!



Answer
Yes and no.

If you buy a Nikon camera like the D90 or better, it can use all the old Nikon lenses that are AI as well as all the auto-focus lenses made by Nikon (AF, AF-I and AF-S) but they will only work on Nikon cameras

Any Canon lens older than 1988 will NOT work on a Canon digital SLR

And of course, Pentax k-mount lenses will work on any of their Pentax DSLR's

Was there any specific questions you had in mind?

What kind of Nikon slr digital camera can share lenses with a nikon slr film camera?

I have a Nikon N64 and would like another Nikon slr digital that i can use the same lenses.


Answer
You have lots of options. All Nikon digital SLR cameras use the Nikon "F" lens mount which has been the Nikon standard for decades. You can generally use any Nikon "F" mount lens on any "F" mount camera. There are some exceptions, but for the majority of Nikon's huge lens collection, it's as simple as attaching the lens and turning on the camera.

However, you may not get all of the functions in a digital SLR to work with an older lens. In worst cases, you might have to adjust the exposure and focus manually because the camera's automatic functions aren't compatible.

Of particular note is the newst Nikon D40 and D40x cameras. They will only autofocus with newer Nikon "AF-S" lenses. You can use other lenses on the D40 and D40x in manual focus.

The Nikon D80 is autofocus compatible with older and newer autofocus lenses.
