Sometimes we all become too interested in the camera body because that is where most of the gadgets are. But it is the lens that makes the picture and most often the lens has a more direct influence on the eventual image quality 'output'. If economy is a consideration, you should consider buy a less expensive camera body rather than less expensive lenses. If you buy a SLR camera with only one lens is also not logical because you might as well buy a cheaper camera with a fixed, non-interchangeable lens like a P&S. But modern lenses has such fantastic features such as high power zoom with previously unimaginable zoom range which actually makes a single-lens-do-all photographic system viable. All those messages posted on the variuos Message Boards for SLR Models are not short of interesting comment and remarks on lenses. Well, not to confuse others who are just interested in cameras, I thought there is a neccessity for a separate Message Board for those who are interested in discussion on various issues on lenses as well..

I have a question. I just purchased a Nikon FE 2 body. I would like to know if my old Nikon lenses with bayonet mounts will work on this camera? Thank you for your response.

Hi, I just purchased a Canon FL 55-135mm f/3.5 zoom for an old Canon QT FL that belonged to my dad. I have two other lenses for it, a 50mm and a 135 mm. The two prime lenses have a seeting that switches between auto and manual aperture control, but the zoom one does not. When I turn the aperture settings, the light level doesn't seem to change. How do I manually control the aperture on the zoom?
Thanks in advance,3. From : rick oleson (rick_oleson@yahoo.com)

Hi Cool-chef:
What kind of telephotos are you thinking of? You should be able to find all kinds of older Nikkors within that cost range; I paid $50 for my 200/4.0 non-AI tele, and I don't think I've got any Nikkors that I paid as much as 200 Euros for.4. From : cool-chef (c-c.photo@centrum.cz)

Do you know about cheap old telephoto Nikkor lenses with price about 100-200 €?5. From : rick oleson (rick_oleson@yahoo.com)

Hi Sam:
I don't have one, but I don't think you'll be able to make that work. As I recall, the T70 body is very different from the AE1P, it seems very unlikely that you'd be able to interchange backs.6. From : Sam (BIG) (nomail@q.com)

Dear Lugi/Rick:- Is there a way to convert a T70 data fim back onto a Canon AE-1P ? Doesn't it fits ?7. From : Rick Oleson (rick_oleson@yahoo.com)

Hi, mrentertainer:
The 2:1 "focal length multiplier" or "crop factor" of the Olympus DSLRs means that, because the camera's image sensor is 1/2 the size of a frame of 35mm film, the field of view of a 40mm lens on the E-410 will be the same as that of an 80mm lens on a 35mm camera.
This does not mean that the view in the viewfinder will appear the same size to your eye, but that the width of the subject that you can see in the finder will be the same. The size of the image in the finder is affected by the optical design of the eyepiece lens in the camera body. The actual focusing screen in the digital camera, like the sensor, is only 1/2 as large as that in a 35mm camera... so in order to appear equally large to your eye the eyepiece lens would have to have twice the magnifying power of that in the film camera. The digital's eyepiece lens is somewhat more powerful than the film camera's, but it's not THAT much more powerful, so the screen in digital cameras is almost always smaller than what you are used to from 35mm.8.

Hi all! I'm new to photography and I've just purchased an Olympus E-410 with 14-42mm lens.
Can somebody explain the focal-length multiplier to me? This lens has a factor of two and I know it relates to the sensor size and the need to have a shorter focal length at the camera sensor end.
I have the impression from what I've read, that the lens should have the same effect as an 80mm 'portrait' lens at the 42mm focal setting?
However, the image I see in the viewer is less than life-size so obviously has a factor of less than 1!
Can anyone explain it better for me, thanks.9. From : Bernie (bsomers@iinet.net.au)

Hi,
I have a Canon AE1 Program that I haven't used for a few years. I got it out and replaced the battery. When I set it on program 1.4 fashes in the viewfinder no matter what light it is in. When I set it on manual or auto then 1 flashes in the viewfinder- irrelevant of the light. I no longer have the instruction manual. Can anyone advise me on the problem or where to get some info on it.
Thanks10.

Dear all,
I've been going through my dad's Nikon F equipment with him on the phone, a system that he bought in 1969 in Japan. The exact tech specs and history of these pieces is familiar to me now that I've spent a while looking into it.
But there's one lens that is intriguing. It's a very early Kino Precision Industries' Panagor lens ... apparently from this period. It has a Non-AI mount. And I suddenly woke up when he told me the serial number on the lens was 0926.
This is a Panagor Tele zoom 85-205, and I have seen elsewhere that the aperture is 3.8 all the way through. He's bringing it out on a visit later this week, so I can answer more questions about it in a few days.
My dad said he had the option to buy the Nikkor telezoom at the time, but decided the Panagor was the better lens. The Kino-designed lens was far ahead of the Nikkor at the time in terms of the weight of their telezoom.
Can anyone provide additional specifics about this lens? When did Kino start making lenses? When did this design come out?
Thanks for any history you can provide.
