pentax digital slr
Are lenses from film SLR and digital SLR cameras interchangeable? I have pentax MZ50 at the moment?
I currently have a pentax MZ50 film camera and want to start using a digital camera too. Not sure what camera to get, but thats another question….
What I have heard is that some digi cameras can use film lenses is that right? They are expensive so it would be great to use the same lenses for film and digi camera. thanks in advance!
As long as the film SLR and digital SLR are both Pentax, yes, the lenses are interchangeable. You will have to allow for the digital sensor being smaller than film, however. On a digital camera, the lenses magnify more than they do on a film camera, usually about 1.5X or 1.6X. For example, a 50mm lens on a dSLR would magnify like a 75mm or 80mm lens on a film camera.
