Digital SLR camera?

[(RIP) PLANK]

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 :thumb2 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.
