Yes. The Pentax SLR lens K-mount will fit the Pentax Digital SLR [DSLR] and the Samsung DSLR. Two warnings: (1) you will lose the electronic linkages for some of the automatic functions; (2) the effective focal length of the lens will change. Most current DSLRs have an image sensor that is only about 2/3 the size of a 35mm film frame. Consequently, DSLRs will multiply the focal length of a traditional SLR lens by approximately 1.5: a 50mm SLR lens put on a DSLR will produce an image close to that of a 75mm lens; a 200mm telephoto lens will function as a 300mm lens. At the lower end of the focal lengths, a wide angle SLR lens, such as a 24mm, if attached to a DSLR, would lose its extreme wide angle advantage and function as a 36mm lens. In brief, long lenses will reach further out, but wide angle lenses will lose part of their ability to capture a full scene. Kodak and Canon have announced "full frame" DSLRs: digital cameras that have a sensor the same size as a standard 35mm frame. On such cameras, the SLR lens will retain its effective focal length regardless of whether it's used on an SLR or a DSLR. Neither Pentax nor Samsung has announced such plans for K-mount owners. In any event, the new full-frame Kodak and Canon full-frame DSLRs may be out of an amateur's reach, for they have an announced price of about $8000.

Will lenses from 35MM camera work on newer DSLR cameras?
It depends on the brand of camera and the type of lens. Most Nikon film SLR lenses will work (in manual mode) on their digital SLR cameras. Many Canon lenses will work on new Canon SLR cameras, but you have to check compatability between the camera model and the type of lens. Sony purhcased the Minolta digital camera division, so all Sony Alpha DSLRs will use Minolta lenses.
I am wondering if a MINOLTA MAXXUM 7000 auto focus (AF) lens will work on a digital Minolta And what Minolta's aredigital that are compatible Thanks fir your assistance. E. P. Fabricius jeepman47@hotmail.com ?
Yes, the Minolta Maxxum 7000 lens will work with a digital Minolta camera. Any digital Minolta SLR with interchangeable lens capabilities will work with a Minolta lens.
What kind of camera does a professional photographer use?
. Professionals mainly use the SLR type of digital camera and sometimes use "digital backs". As for makes, my personal opinion is to go with either Canon or Nikon cameras. .
What kind of digital camera should you use for a Minolta SLR lens?
You would have to use a Minolta SLR digital camera with a Minolta lens. However, don't automatically assume an old Minolta lens will work on a digital camera. You need to determine whether the digital camera accepts interchangeable lenses and whether it accepts the specific Minolta SLR lens and mount you have. There is no real generic answer to this question.
