probably, but not without a special adapter. go and check out cameraquest (www.cameraquest.com) they make an adapter for most any lens :deal

It is possible with adapters to use Leica reflex, Contax (Carl Zeiss), Pentax screwmount, Olympus OM and Nikon Nikkor lenses on EOS bodies, and these focus to infinity. This is possible because the Canon EOS mount has a larger opening than these other brands, and the lens-to-sensor distance is shallower

With an inexpensive adapter (about $25 from various vendors on eBay), any Nikon lens, including pre-AI ones, can be used on a Canon EOS camera. Not only can they be mounted, but metering works. Put your Digital Rebel in aperture priority mode, and the shutter speed will automatically adjust to get the right exposure. To stop down to a smaller aperture, you turn the aperture ring on the lens

In addition to the 50mm lens, there are good values in manual focus Nikkor macro and telephoto lenses. Recently, I acquired a 135mm f/3.5 Nikkor-Q lens (made around 1966) in very nice condition for $18. It is one of the sharpest lenses I've ever owned. Manual focussing is particularly easy with a long focal length lens. http://www.digitalgrin.com/images/smilies/clap.gifhttp://www.digitalgrin.com/images/smilies/clap.gifhttp://www.digitalgrin.com/images/smilies/clap.gif

beware: some adapters won't easily allow focusing to infinity, and that's why many folks rely on the higher-quality stuff from cameraquest...

Had anyone tried a Nikkor to EOS adapter rings? My father saw my new camera a few months ago and he dug up his old, I mean OLD Nikkor system and its got a nice set of lens I want to try out, 50mm 1.4, 85 1.8 and a 200mm 4.0. Heck if these adapters work well I sure want to give these lens a spin.

Now my second question is, should or maybe could these lens be cleaned or be cleaned by a camera shop before I even try to use them on a DRebelXT?
Looking thru the lens from the rear looks spotless and no dust, but who knows?:dunno
