Digital SLR camera?

(RIP) PLANK · 21-06-2010, 23:09

a random thread but here goes!

I have an old but good olympus OM10 slr with a few decent wide angle and telephoto lenses, does anyone know if these lenses would be compatable with a new digital slr body? if so any ideas which ones without spending too much? cheers in advance

I could be wrong, but it depends on the manufacturer of the DSLR body, some made their new DLSR's compatable with their old SLR lenses, some didn't. Personally I'd have a look through a get some idea as to which DSLR bosy you're looking for then go in a photo shop and take your old lenses with you, then test them in the shop. Sorry if that's not much help.

from my research thats spot on advice for Canon

Ive got an A1 & an AE1 with several lenses. I'm reliably informed and have tested a couple that htyere all swappable onto DSLRs, only no autofocus

Ah, I have a Cannon EOS 400D DSLR and knew there was something, just didn't know it was autofocus with the old lenses.
