Photo Forum / General Photo Topics / Australian Photography / August 2007Difference between Film and Digital SLR camera lenses
Hi guys, I own an EOS 30 film camera and a range of Canon lenses. I am planning on buying an EOS 40D and was wandering if I could still use my existing lenses. Does anyone know if there are any things I should be aware of before moving on etc. A feedback will be very much appreciated.

One of the best reasons for staying with a brand , is having old lenses that will work with the new camera. Be aware of the "crop factor", epending on the size of the sensor in your new camera there will be a difference between your 35mm camera and the digital. It will probably be a factor of about 1.5, that means that you need to multiply the focal length of your lens by 1.5 to get its effective field of view on the digital camera. Your 50mm lens essentially becomes 75mm > >Hi guys, > [quoted text clipped - 21 lines] > to get its effective field of view on the digital camera.

You are best off visiting some canon forums for more information as for starters the cropfactor is 1.6 for canon not 1.5 go here http://photography-on-the.net/forum/index.php? sign in and learn all there is to know about canon cameras and lenses. |
