About Akshay Singh Jamwal
Expertise
I can answer questions questions relating to SLRs (35mm or DSLRs) and general photographic technique. I have good knowledge and understanding of photographic principles (film or digital) and lighting. Questions about studio lighting, studio flashes, and flashguns are also welcome. Questions about theory (e.g. colour theory, guidelines behind composition, depth of field, etc.) are welcome as well. Digital photography also involves some amount of post-processing using an image editing application such as Adobe Photoshop; a program that I am proficient with. I cannot answer typical generic questions, viz. "Which is the best camera?," as the short and sweet answer to questions such as those is "There is no such thing." Furthermore, there is a lot of literature available on the web pertaining to the same.

Experience
I'm a professional commercial photographer and have been passionately taking photographs since I was 13 years old. In totality, I've been involved in photography in one way or another for over a decade. I've used various cameras (and lighting equipment) over the years, including but not limited to Minolta/Konica Minolta, Nikon, Canon, and Mamiya.

Education/Credentials
High school degree.

Question
I am thinking about going digital and giving up on I'm,, will any of my equipment that i have for my 35mm stuff work with my new digital stuff..

Answer
Hi Gerald.

What 35mm equipment do you have? Without knowing what it is, I can only guess. Is it autofocus equipment? What brand? Nikon? Canon? Minolta? Pentax?
Nikon's F mount is the most backward compatible of all, but depending on the lens in question there could be limitations there as well.

If you've got autofocus equipment, then the chances are good. If it's manual focus equipment, then you might or might not be able to use it. Some older manual focus lenses could actually damage a modern SLR.

I'd love to help you further, but I need to know more about what equipment you're talking about to give you a more informed answer.

Please feel free to post a follow up or ask another question.

Regards,

Akshay.
