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..

Good Morning,
I have a Canon T80 35mm SLR camera, which does not function properly. The two lens that came with the camera, are the 35-70mm 1:3.5-4.5 and the AC 75-200 1:4.5, which are in superb conditon. I was wondering what other Canon 35mm SLR cameras these two lenses will fit.
Thanks You Tom3. From : Khoon (klipkhoon@gmail.com)

I will be conducting crown illumination index research in tropical forest. Studies have been using Nikon Coolpix 5400 with FC-E9 fisheye lens. I was going through your website, but nothing concerning this lens. Any information on this? And are they any new compatible fisheye lens in the market?

Hello Wquil:
A bellows lens can be attached directly to the camera body, but it has no focusing mount. If the lens is a very short focal length, then there will be one fixed distance at which it can be used; with the longer focal lengths, the lens may be too close to the film to focus at any distance, in which case it cannot be used at all without adding the bellows to move the lens farther from the film.8.

Q: I read the Bellow lenses section, I notice the rear mount (female) is the same with the Camera mount (male); they should mate, why can't the lens be use directly on the camera instead of have to bridge via the Bellow or rings as it says ? what will happen if it is used ?9.
