From 35mm to ditgal?

[rfinley]

Years ago I used 35mm film and 35mm Single reflex cameras, all of which had adapters which allow one to adapt different lens (wide angle, telephoto, close up) to the camera in use. So now I have all these lens which do fits my new digital camera. So, are there adaptors that allow these 35mm lens to be used on new digital cameras and use them in manual mode? Yeah, seem like a dumb question, but as the old Sgt said " The only dump question is the one you do not ask." All and any replies appreciated.

Yes, and no.
It will depend on the lens make/model and the camera make/model you want to use the lens on.

Found myself in same situation had a Konica AutoreflexT3 Great Film Camera. Bought Nikon D3100, got a fotodiox Konica to Nikon adapter $30, only "problem" I have to go Manual. Hell anyone that remembers watching Frame counter can handle the Manual Settings. Even Bought some old lenses off ebay, HaPPy Camper and Cheap Glass. Results are more than satisfactory :lmao:

My favorite glass is legacy Nikon stuff. With digital you can set exposure by trial and error or sunny 16 and adjust from histogram or chimping. I have the lenses chipped so they work just like they were built for digital. Take your time and experiment. Easy and cheap with digital cameras.
