Lenses for SLR Digital Cameras I am such a newbie in the digital field, and I have a question: Are the lenses that are used for regular 35mm film cameras interchangeable in a digital SLR camera? Thanks.

Mostly yes. Some exceptions with one, maybe two brands. But with Canon, all film EOS lenses fit their digital EOS.

Yes they are. On a digital, it makes your focal length longer so your ultra wide will no longer be the same length. It has its advantages on the long end of course. Scott

There is about 1.4 ratio between the 35 mm camers focal length and the digital focal length, so 28 mm wide angle on the old camera will give you 39 mm focal length when mounted on your digital camera. Josh
