Why is a 50 mm lens 0n a 35 mm film camera not the same as a 50mm lens on a digital camera?
most sensors on digitals are much smaller than 35mm film frames, so the lens of 50mm acts lika a telephoto one.
Will your canon eos 300d take a canon film camera lens?
Yes, with the right adapter.
What are some popular Canon film cameras?
Some popular Canon film cameras are the Canon EOS Rebel 2000 with 28-80mm lens, Cannon EOS ELAN 7E with 20-90mm lens, and the Canon EOS Rebel G Film SLR Camera kit with 35-80mm lens. You can buy these on any website.
Is a 50mm lens considered normal if using a 35mm camera?
Yes, when using a 35mm format film, the 50mm prime lens is considered a "normal" or "natural view" lens. This does not hold true when using a Digital SLR camera (DSLR) because the sensor for most cameras is not 35mm size (36 by 24mm). Entry level and enthusiast level DSLRs often have sensors that are about half size (18 mm wide) and therefore the 50mm lens is equivalent to a slight zoom. A 35mm or 28mm prime lens is closer to that natural view. Some of the more expensive DSLR cameras have a full size sensor and thus have the same magnification and characteristics of the 35mm film camera.
What film camera would be equivalent to a canon AE-1?
The Canon AE-1 is a film camera.
What is the difference between Canon SLR and Canon digital SLR?
SLR stands for Single Lens Reflex - if it doesnt say digital then its probably a film camera (35mm).
With SLR cameras how do you convert focal length to optical magnification?
How precise do you want to get? Precision method... Calculate the diagonal of the camera's film image. Compare the lens focal length to that to get your answer. Example for 35mm camera with 50mm lens: film image is 24x36; diagonal is square root of (24*24 + 36*36) = 43.267 (remember Pythagorean theorem)? Ratio is 50/43.267 = 1.156. Thus, 50mm lens magnifies image 1.156 times. This is negligible, hence most people consider the 50mm lens to be "normal" for 35mm cameras. Simple method, same camera & lens: 100 mm lens produces 2x magnification (100/50) I hope you're not asking because you wish to relate this to telescopes or binoculars. That is a subject I'm not familiar with, and I suspect the field of view for those devices has to be considered. Hope my answer gives you what you needed.
What is a Canon Elph Digital Camera?
A very small consumer-grade digital camera made by Canon. It is named after the very small Elph film camera that Canon used to make based on the Kodak Advanced Film System. The film version is no longer in production.
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.
Is the Canon EOS 500n film or digital?
Canon EOS 500N is a 35mm film camera released in 1996.
What type of camera is a Canon PowerShot?
Canon produces many different types of cameras, ranging from family photo cameras to professional Digital Single Lens Reflex Cameras. While they are all digital now, Canon used to produce many film cameras.
What is the value of a Canon A1 camera?
The AE1 was a very popular camera when it came on the market in the early 80's. That means that there are many for sale today, now that point-and-click digital cameras have flooded the market. Since the camera had interchangeable lenses and the lens collections tend to outlast the camera bodies there will continue to be a demand for the camera among aficionados of film (real) photography. Your best bet for getting top dollar for the camera is to take your camera to a camera shop and get it cleaned and appraised. You might expect it to fetch (in pristine condition with the standard 50mm lens) around $200. That would be my starting price on an eBay auction.
