Question by nomo b: Will Nikon Film SLR lenses be usable to Nikon Digital SLR cameras? I want to confirm because I heard they do.?
Im just going into photography now. I know very little. I was recently given a Nikon film slr camera with a set of awesome lenses. I was planning to buy a Nikon digital slr camera and was wondering if I could use the film camera lenses on the digital camera. Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Generally yes, although they may not have the full function of a new lens.

You may have to manually focus, that is turn the focus ring on the lens yourself rather than a motor doing it. The auto focus control system should still give some indication when it finds a point in focus.

Metering and exposure modes may be limited to manual only rather than the full range of automatic exposure modes.

Despite these limitations Nikon lenses are very good optically and worth using.

If you have the correct software yes. Since you didn’t mention the brand of your camera I can only assume it came with a software disc. If so install it. It may give you the ability to control the camera from the keyboard.

However, this doesn’t mean you can print them instantly unless that same software can talk with your printer. If it can yes, if it can’t… well, search for some software that will.

Question by Zag: Any compact digital cameras that can be used with filters?
I’m looking for a compact digital camera that filters can be fitted to so that I can use filters in my photography.
Are there any on the market?
I’m looking at high spec cameras, not budget ones.
Any info would be appreciated.

Best answer:

Answer by HVS
Yes there are certain model that can be use w/ filters..but you have to buy an adapter for the certain size of the filter you like to use. Manufacturers make one adapter specifically for that model of camera. So you have to find out what camera you like to own and look to see if there is an adapter for it.
