Any of your lenses will fit on any Nikon digital SLR camera. However, there are several things to consider.

Most Nikon digital SLRs have a sensor smaller than a frame of 35mm film. This means that your lenses will give the same angle of view as a lens with a focal length 1.5 times longer. For example, your 50mm lens will give the same angle of view as a 75mm lens would. This applies to all Nikon dSLRs except the D700 and D3 series.

If the lens does not have the electronics to communicate with the camera, some dSLRs will not be able to meter with them. Of the current models, the D7000, D300s, D700, and D3 series will work.

Most old autofocus lenses will not autofocus on some dSLRs. Unless the lens is designated "AF-S" they will not autofocus on the D3000, D3100, and the older D40, D40x, and D60.

Does a sigma 70-300 lens work on a canon 400d

Sigma makes lenses with a variety of mounts to fit a variety of cameras. A lens with a Pentax mount, for example, will not fit a Canon camera. Assuming you get a lens with a Canon mount then yes, it will work on your Canon.

Are there any Vivitar digital cameras that will accept a vivitar 70-210 lens from a 35mm camera?

No. Vivitar currently does not make any digital cameras with interchangeable lenses. They do make a film camera with interchangeable lenses:
http://www.vivitar.com/products/8/professional-and-slr/34/v3800-50

Depending on the mount on the lens, it may fit a number of digital cameras from another manufacturer. For example, if the lens has a Nikon mount then it will fit onto every Nikon digital SLR model, though perhaps not all features will work with every model.

Can you use a haze or UV filter on the Olympus SP-800UZ. what size would be used?

Yes it is possible with a lens adapter. Search for Kiwiphotos LA-67SP800 or LA-67SP800. Or look at: http://www.kiwifotos.com/Pro_show.asp?Proid=83
On Ebay they can be bought quite cheap. You can fit a filter onto the lens adapter.

Do the old AF lenses for the Nikon N60 SLR fit the new DSLR cameras

Hi ericm675, Yes they will. What you run into is were one uses a auto focus lens on a newer digital such as a D40. Some of the new digital cameras do not have the drive gear to turn the autofocus on the lens. Those newer cameras use electronics. Look on your camera lens mount at 7:00 you will see the drive pin. Look on your old autofocus lens you should see a slot where that pin fits. Hope this helps you.

If I buy a Canon EOS 500D body wil my 500n AF lens fit it and operate OK?

All canon EF and EF-S lenses work with 500D /T1i model.(yes all)
If your lens is removed from old 500N body and if it has EF marked it will work for every Digital camera model of canon.
Note: its focal length will be multiplied by 1.6 X factor.
(mean 18 mm lens will become 29mm approx.)
If you find this of help rate me.

Lost lens cap

I would sugest using an adaptor ring. You can reduce the size of your lens opening down a common size lens cap that will fit your camera. If you can't go this route then give me the make and model number and I will see what I can do for you. LJ
