You may well be able to fit them to a dSLR body.Following on from the mirrorless posting, adapting old lenses to mirrorless is dead easy, no need for matching fittings because adaptors are readily available for around £20That way you can use any maker's lenses if the fancy takes youYou would lose EXIF data & autofocus, but I find the manual use of Focus peaking is very easy, unless of course it's sport or fast moving subjects0

Thank you for all your advice. I'm going to check out MPB and the others and the lenses I have to see if compatible and then make a decision from there. I may give my bridge camera to my daughter who has a year abroad and then see how I get on and whether a flash in a pan hobby or want to invest more. really helpful hearing what people have done and about the new cameras and lens - much appreciated!0
