Far from irrelevant. While it will function, the image circle for a DX lens will not cover the area of the frame so you would have a black circle around the center of the image. A film camera definitely needs a lens that is not a DX lens even though technically it would work.garyrhook wrote:

Irrelevant. The sensor size has nothing to do with the lens mount and function.

True, but even that was not the question asked. The question was "will digital lenses" (which there is no such thing) work on film cameras. I'm still puzzled why anyone would think of lenses in terms of digital vs. film. A lens is a lens. The mount, coverage and things like autofocus and aperture control is all that matters. If the lens is a screw dive autofocus, does the body have that capability. Can the body handle exposure for a lens that doesn't have an aperture ring? These are the relevant questions to ask. A lens is just glass. It doesn't know what it's projecting the image onto. Film, sensor or the back of a shoe box doesn't matter to the lens.garyrhook wrote:

It's irrelevant to the question that was asked. Which was, will it work? Not "will vignetting be a problem if I use a lens designed for a DX (or smaller) sensor?"
So, yes, of course the above is accurate. But seeing as how I'm not a big fan of conflation, I prefer to separate my threads of discussion based on subject/question and focused responses.
Perhaps a better original question might have been, "will I run into any problems, and if so, what kind, if I try to use modern lenses on an older film SLR camera?" But that wasn't what happened.
I find redirection/misdirection annoying. Mea culpa.
