Expert: Joe Appel Date: 10/11/2006 Subject: Digital Camera but have 35mm lens
Question Hi,
I bought a 35mm camera(pentax ZX-50) and a 75-300 Tamron lens to go with that camera. Now I want to buy a digital camera but I would like to be able to use the lens that I have.
Is is possiable? And if so, what do I need to look for?
Thanks,
Corey
Answer I suppose that would depend on the make and model of camera you buy.
You might be able to have a camera shop switch the mount to fit your camera, that is if Tamron offers the part and if your lens is compatible with the new camera.
You're going to have to do some research. Start with Tamron's website. Also, call a competent repairman in your area.
