Lens Adapter to Mount Film SLR Lens on DSLR Needs Due Carefulness to Select as Not All Lenses Can Be Mounted on All Kind of Bodies. Whenever we can will mount a Film SLR Lens, we will loose the automatic functions, we need to use manual mode for focussing purpose. The things are somewhat like Male-Female plug and sockets. Here, one need to understand the biggest factor – Lens Mount. As anyone can understand, theoretically it is possible to mount any old SLR Lens on new DSLR body; but in practical usage, there are points like type of mount, maintaining the optical axis (it is important to focus), crop factor etceteras which actually demands different types of Lens Adapters to mount different old lenses. As Lens Adapters are not really so much cheap, we need some “common” Lens Adapter to mount good number of Film SLR Lenses on DSLR body.

 

Why To Think About Lens Adapter to Mount Film SLR Lens on DSLR?

 

Old Film SLR Lenses are sold at cheaper rate due to lack of ready made integrity. There are many peoples who has old Film SLR Lenses, they might want to use their old lenses on new DSLR body. Old lenses might have great features like almost collectible quality of diaphragm blades. But basically we need to know a bit more about the technical things.

Before considering the types of lens adapters and mounts that are available in order to make use of older SLR lenses, it is important to understand the differences between the various types of SLR lenses that are typically utilized by photographers. Some of the most common types of SLR lenses include zoom lenses, prime lenses, macro lenses, and special purpose lenses.

One should be sure to ask the seller for a picture and a detailed description of the item to buy to verify the condition. If this information is not included in the description, it is difficult to select an adapter. A Zeiss prime lens for the Cannon EOS camera will easily cost $500. But, some older lens designs from a discontinued film format can be grabbed for $15. You must be careful, because possibly the seller searched a lot, bought many adapters to maintain the optical axis. There can be Lens Adaptors with Aperture Control and other functions, but the adapters can cost $500.
