can I use my zoom lens from a 35mm slr camera on a digital camera of the same make?
Posted by admin | Under Pentax SLR Digital Cameras Wednesday Jul 28, 2010I have a pentax slr I bought 4 years ago for £199. I also bought a zoom lens for £190. I’m now thinking of going digital but want to know if the lenses are interchangeable
Yes you can. Any Pentax KA or KAF mount lens will fit on either a samsung or pentax digital body. If the lens has a manual aperture ring you may need to set this to the ‘A’ postion to get full aperture/TTL communication between the lens and body.
You shall however experience a conversion factor of approx 1.5x, so that a lens which has a 35mm focal length of say 100mm-300mm will now have a focal length of approx 150mm-450mm. Great for telephoto shots, not so good for keeping the wide angles.
Fortunately the pentax kits often include an 18mm-55 lens which works out at a good everyday range of 28mm-90mm, so your big tele zoom would be a good compliment to this kit.
If in doubt take your lens into a camera shop and ask to try it out. Many retailers now do internet price matching, so keep the little guy going, don’t just buy purely on price, buy on service too.
there are three pentax kits, the 6MP k100d & k110d (the difference being one has anti-shake, handy for your big zoom lens, there is only a small price premium for this very useful function) and the 10MP k10d.
This camera is quite a bit more money than the first two (but no more than comparible cameras from canon or nikon) but has the best colour depth of any digital SLR at any price on the market.
Buy buying into this system you have the clever option of still using film and digital. Please note however that although the pentax 18-55mm lens will mechanically fit on your film body, there will be very pronounced vignetting (darkening of the corners)
