Q. I am new to photography and was interested in knowing which lenses are compatible with which cameras? Is the compatibility based on the company? The year of make? Particular model? which camera at present has the highest compatibility range (meaning a camera which can be used with the widest range of lenses)
Answer
The most compatible lens mount out there right now is the Pentax K-mount. They can use just about anything Pentax has made since the original K-1000, no adapter required.
Nikon would be the second on the list, there are many lenses to choose from, but compatibility is a little trickier due to changes Nikon has made in the mount over the years. Lenses that will work just fine on some bodies, can actually damage the camera if used on the wrong body.
Canon made cameras for years using FD mount, then dropped it and changed everything to EF mount in the late 1980's. FD and EF are not compatible in any way, shape, or form. They then added EF-S to the digital line, which can only be used on cameras with the appropriate EF-S mount. This means all models of the Digital Rebel, and the XX-D series and 7D, excluding the 10D.
Minolta (now Sony, same lens mount) did the same thing Canon did, moving from one mount on their manual film cameras (MD) to an entirely different and incompatible mount on their autofocus bodies (A mount).
Olympus kind of did this same thing, but the older OM film bodies share nothing but the Oly name with their DSLR cameras.
All of the various lines out there have just about anything you need. If you are interested in using older manual glass, Pentax and Nikon are the way to go. You can get adapters for many types of lenses to many mounts, but they are generally a waste of time and money. If you have something of very high quality and value, it may be worth the effort of adapting the old lens to a new body. There is no reason to do so with anything less than top of the line lenses.
