35mm lenses on digital slr

[topaz25]

Hi

I apologize if this is a really basic question. I own a canon eos (35mm) and I am going to buy a digital slr. I wont be able to use my old lenses on a new digital slr will I? I am thinking of buying a canon 400d

thanks for any help

Yeah film lenses will work on the 400d I am 99% sure

EOS lenses will fit on the 400D, There EF mount.. They will just have the 1.6x crop factor, no biggie.

My 35mm Eos lense worked on my 350 and 400D however i occasionally find i have to tweak the auto focus with a bit of manual but this may just be a fault with the lense and not the compatability

Your 35mm lenses will work great. Remember the 1.6 crop factor though. So what you see in the view finder is not necessarily what you get.

That is wrong. What you see IS what you get.

You're wrong actually. What you see in the viewfinder IS what you get...

Just all of your lenses will seem a tad longer. No biggie, it's easy enough to figure out...

They will all fit, though...and work seamlessly.

Way to go not explaining what a crop factor is guys. The OP is asking a basic question and you throw buzzwords at him.
Least you could do is provide a link http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Crop_factor

Doesn't get much simpler than that...
