Will a SLR lens fit on a DSLR?

[GerritSmith]

Hey! I am wondering if a SLR lens will fit on a DSLR camera?

 

[Big Mike]

It depends.

All Canon EF lenses will fit on any EOS camera (film or digital). EF lenses have been around since the late 80s.
Nikon's compatibility goes back much farther than that.
Sony DSLR cameras are compatible with Minolta lenses.

There are all sorts of adapters that allow you to mount just about any lens onto just about any camera. Although, the quality of the adapters may be questionable.

As Big Mike says ...

Canon FD lenses (manual focus) are not compatible with the Canon EF mount.

Minolta AF lenses for their Maxxum film cameras is the same as the Sony Alpha mount ... and not compatible with the Minolta MD (manual focus) mount.

Pentax and Nikon kept the same mount from their manual focus lenses ... you just have to be aware of some compatibility issues with functionality.

What he says is true though. The OP didn't really provide enough information to answer the question.

We need to at least know what mount he is talking about...
