Find the best adapter for your system from 11 digital camera types and 29 different vintage lenses!

Would you have thought that some day old manual lenses become this popular again? That digital cameras will be equipped with them? If you have found, bought or received an old camera lens, this is your place to find out how can you get it working with your camera.

The vintage lenses and receptacles are in abundance, no wonder that sometimes it's hard to find out which one is compatible with which. We tried to create a useful database on this site, listing the most widespread combinations: you can compare 11 camera bodies to 29 types of lenses, altogether 319 variations.

IF you are not sure what kind of receptacle does your lens have, you can find a picture guide here.

Terminology

In terms of compatibility, we distinguish four separate categories:

COMPATIBLE
PARTIALLY COMPATIBLE
COMPATIBLE IN THEORY
NOT COMPATIBLE
This means that you'll be able to apply the lens on the camera in question with a proper adapter, and full focus range will be available with it (often with aperture control too). If AF is supported, you'll see it in the description.
This means that due to the flange focal depth or other factor this conversion would be normally unfeasible, but with some compromises (e.g. using a speedbooster adapter) can be made possible.
This means that the flange focal depth should make mounting and using inifinty focus possible, but for some reason there are no adapter rings available or other factors make it unviable.
This means that you won't be able to mount your lens due to mechanical incompatibility or the difference in flange focal depth doesn't make inifinity focus possible. Although numerous lenses can be mounted on cameras without infinity focus, but this cannot be considered actual compatibility.

Additional information for compatible variations:

MF
AF
MA
AA
SB
MAC
TS
manual focus (on the lens, with its own control ring)
autofocus available (AF controlled by the camera body)
manual aperture control (on the lens, with its own control ring)
automatic aperture control (controlled by the camera body)
speedbooster (focal reducer) adapters are available
macro (variable length) adapters are available
tilt-shift (or other flexible) adapters can be used
