i have a canon t70, from 1984...its a good camera and it came with a good lense. but my question is, is that could any canon lense, old or new, be used on my t70?
or is it like nikon and only take certin lenses for cirten types? The idea back then was Canon wanted you to only use their lenses, and they had something called the Canon FD Mount, which is type of bayonet lens system your T70 takes. Other Generic lens mfg's also made their own lenses in a Canon FD mount, but make no mistake, any lens with a Canon FD mount on it is made only to fit on a Canon FD Mount Body.
Since you asked, Yes, You CAN get the canon lens to mount on your Nikon Body, or vice versa....ONCE. Then you usually can not get the lens off, so DO NOT make that mistake! There is a good chance your old Canon FD mount lens will mount on some or most of todays newer Canon AF systems, but you would not be able to shoot in full program or benefit from all the cameras features, and would most likely only be able to shoot in a full manual mode, or apperature priority mode. (Same thing with old Nikon Lenses VS todays newer cameras) Your camera can only use Canon FD series, manual focus lenses.
Try KEH camera for a great selection of used lenses. |
