Can I use my lens from my slr film camera on a digital SLR camera?
Posted by admin | Under Olympus Digital SLR Monday Nov 23, 2009I plan on buying either a digital canon rebel (body only) or an digital Olympus E-420 slr. I have a 300mmTamron "tele-macro" lens, which is fairly new – I bought it at BH photo last year. Is this lens compatiple with my Tamron lens??? And also, if you know – is Tamron a decent lens? lol
Thanks,
Steven
My old film SLR is a Canon Rebel K2
Tamron does offer interchangable adapters on some lenses, so I would check their website to see if your model lens will take a new adapter. Problem solved.

As long as your lense mount is compatible to Canon…What brand is your old film camera? since that will help whether the lense will fit.

i’m really not sure, they might not use the same lens mount. I know that nikon, has the legendary lens mount ( F Mount ). This means that all the nikon cameras from the 50’s, have the same mounts. So, you can use the lenses from the 50’s with the DSLR’s of today. Oh, and they probably won’t be able to auto focus though.

If it’s an EF lens then it should fit on any of the digital Rebels.

The Canon K2 is a EOS series body, so any lenses that fit on it will fit on the digital rebels. It will not fit on the Olympus E410.
