Vivitar Wide- angle #37809829
Any Solutions?? ([email protected]) Thanks
The nikon d80 you pointed out is a solid good camera. Id suggest buying it, if you are sure your lenses fit, didnt bother to check But I know Nikon is the way to go!
heres a review of the nikon d80

quote from the review
Having now thoroughly tested a production sample of the Nikon D80, all our initial impressions have been confirmed, and we can give it our wholehearted endorsement. By any measure, the Nikon D80 is a superb photographic tool, offering value well beyond its relatively modest price point.

Vivatar and Canon should be compatible, call canon at 1 800 828-4040 to confirm
Nikon and vivatar should be compatible, the wide angle for sure
contact nikon at 1-800-NIKON-US if you want confirmation
I don't know about Sony for compatibility but you can call them at 800-488-7669
Nikon would be the way I would go most likely if any

In order to know whether the mount on the lens will work correctly with the camera body, you need to provide the model of the lens, not just the serial number.
Many manufacturers (Vivitar included) make lenses that will mount SLR cameras. Sigma, Nikkor (Nikon), Quantaray, Vivitar all make lenses that will mount Nikon bodies. Nikon-mountable lenses will also mount Fuji bodies. Please indicate model number of lenses.
Chances are, however, they will NOT mount to the SLR bodies you have chosen. You can take your lenses to Ritz or Wolf Camera (any camera shop for that matter) and see which will work. What you are really looking for is whether the camera will be able to use features such as auto-focus and aperture from the body (if the lens doesn't have an aperture ring).
I suggest to use it with canon.
Seems the best solution.
