Will lenses for our old SLR camera work on a new digital SLR?

We currently have an early 1990's Minolta Maxxum Dynax 3xi with many lenses and filters. Is there a new digital SLR that we can use our current lenses, etc. with?

Usually the same brand will take the same lenses. It is a mechanical issue. I did that with a Nikon and it was perfect (Actually better than perfect since the image size on a digital camera is one-third smaller so it is like getting a zoom lense one-third longer in focal length)

probably not
try to measure and see

Try mounting them. I know that you can use your SLR lenses to a digital body of NIKON. I'm not sure of other brands.

Probably, but I dont know for sure with Minolta. Canon digital SLRs will take old lenses, but there is a "multiplier" effect, caused by the fact that the sensor is smaller than a 35 mm film frame. With Canon, the multiplier is 1.6, so a 200 mm lens has a focal length of 320 mm on most of their digital SLRs. I think Nikon's multiplier is 1.5.

Oh! I love Minoltas! My old SLR lenses are configured differently and don't fit my new one. However, that's just mine. If I were you I would go to the largest camera store in your area and find someone in the store who is actually competent and present this to them. If you have no luck, I do have a friend in another part of Flordia who is a photographer and I will ask them for you! There may be adapters to make them work.

if it made by the same company I think it will cause people can spend hundreds of dollars on lens. a friend had a canon rebel and bought the dig rebel cause her lens will fit it.

Since noone actualy answered your question....

YES, you can use them on the now discontinued Maxxum 7D/5D and/or the Current Sony Alpha A100.

You may have issues with the flash though....

usually the issue is whether or not the old lenses are auto focus. If they are not, you are probably out of luck
