+REP! Lenses on a DSLR...

[myke]

Hiii, planning on purchasing either a sony a200 / d40

Would my SLR lenses work on the DSLR??

I have a macro one, a 55-200mm one, and loads more, wondering if they'd work on the dslr, I don't mind manually focusing them

None of your lenses would work with either of the DSLRs you are thinking of buying. Infact I doubt you'll find a DSLR that you can actually mount your current lenses on.
