• Camera Lens Compatability Help
    10 replies, posted
A few months ago, I acquired an old SLR. It's a Chinon CP-9AF, and the person I got it from said the body is broken. It came with 2 lenses and a bunch of other things like lens filters. What I am wondering is if these lenses are compatible with any of today's DSLR's. I'm not too keen on lenses and SLR cameras so I hope you guys can share your knowledge and insight with me. Let me know if you need to any more pictures, specifications, etc. Camera [IMG]http://i160.photobucket.com/albums/t177/Performula/whole2.jpg[/IMG] Closeup of the mounted lens [IMG]http://i160.photobucket.com/albums/t177/Performula/close2.jpg[/IMG] 2nd lens [IMG]http://i160.photobucket.com/albums/t177/Performula/whole.jpg[/IMG] Closeup [IMG]http://i160.photobucket.com/albums/t177/Performula/close.jpg[/IMG] [B]Additional Photos:[/B] [IMG]http://i160.photobucket.com/albums/t177/Performula/close3.jpg[/IMG] [IMG]http://i160.photobucket.com/albums/t177/Performula/close4.jpg[/IMG] [IMG]http://i160.photobucket.com/albums/t177/Performula/close5.jpg[/IMG]
wow i never seen a chinon before,so i wouldn't know. ide say probably not always best to goto photography forums and ask
Well, i don't believe they will. Most camera brands have different types of mounts. If you can get the body fixed or to work, i suggest you try film photography. It is a lot of fun. I did the whole film photography thing, even went as far to roll my own film for my camera, used a dark room, ect.
no
I made my own lens out of a door hole thingy thing thing.
take a photo of the mount.

Yo perf get a pic of the mount on the cam so I can help you out
I added 3 more pictures.
The lens is a Pentax K mount if it's a bayonet mount or an M42 screw mount. Even if you can find an adaptor to fit these to a Canon EOS mount the expense is probably not worthwhile as none of the cameras automatic functions will work with the adaptors.

[/quote] and also found adapters that made them compatible. Thanks for helping.
