I suggest you call a local camera shop to see if you'll need any adapters. Sometimes, when using older lenses, certain functions won't work such as Autofocus (you'd have to focus manually) and the way the aperture is controlled. Another good place to ask questions is at the Fred Miranda site. There may also be some helpful information in this article about buying used lenses.

have a 35mm minolta maxxum qt si with 2 lenses af 35-80 &af 70-210 wondering if there is a digital camera that would convert to these lenses, or should I just invest in a digital camera with the lenses already.

why can’t someone just make a 35mm cam that functions like a digital when the film isnt it it? i am not a phtog. or prof. just a girl wishing i could take digital pic’s like a 35 mm when i want to. isnt there something out there for beg/interm. where its a good digital with a great zoom lense with feel of a 33mm etc.? Or, can someone recom. a good digital with lots of zoom or night features and a good 35mm cam that i can grow with? why cant they just invent a piece of hardware that lets you can the lenses from dig. to 35mm and put in the film……
you know?????

You may have to look at a high end camera such as the Canon EOS 5D Mark II. It has a 21MP CMOS sensor and includes full 1080p HD movie recording. The HD video capture allows users to shoot uninterrupted at full 1080 resolution at 30fps The lens you use, too, will have an impact on the depth of field. DSLR video is still in it's infancy and does not yet have the full capabilities of a dedicated camcorder.You may want to try a place like B&H Photo & Video.

Yea, I still use film, as I have yet to find a digital still or video camera that can produce an effective f-stop (no, NOT t-stop) of 1448 for super-incredible-extreme-unmatched depth of field. I do not know of any processor for a digital camera that can do this as yet. As I do a lot of effects work, let me know!!!!!!!

When discussing the effective focal length of a DSLR lens on a camera with less than full frame sensor, isn’t it important to note that the 250 mm lens with an RLM of 1.6 yielding a 400 mm “effective focal length” is effective in angle of view only, not in optical factors like depth of field at any given focus distance, which has not changed with the smaller sensor.
