yes,technically you could, if the mount fits i:e bayonet or screw but bcoz these lenses are optical you wouldn't have digital zoom capability

You didnt specify for which camera mount, but if if it's for a Nikon, Pentax lens mount, then yes. I've never heard of Kyocera lenses, but I do know Yashica. As far as I know, they wont fit a digital SLR camera. If for the F mount, or K mount, then the Sigma will. Otherwise, no.I dont really know what the guy above was talking about digital zooms, but as you know, a digital SLR has interchangable lenses. So, dont worry about digital zoom; a DSLR does not have fixed focal range.

Unfortunately, the Yashica 230 AF uses the Kyocera/Yashica autofocus bayonet mount. No digital SLR has been developed that uses this mount.There are adapters to allow the camera to use Contax lenses, and Contax did make a digital SLR. But the Contax digital N used a different lens mount.

I used to work at a camera store and sold those cameras and lenses. There are no current digital SLR cameras that will function fully and correctly with those lenses. To be frank, those are very old designs and have been surpassed by even the most economical OEM optics from current manufacturers like Nikon, Canon, etc.Find some photography student who is looking for a nice 35mm system. We see many requests here and I'm sure you will get results if you post them on your local Craigslist.A current Nikon D40 dslr with 18-55mm and 55-200mm lenses, (equivalent to a 25-83mm and 83-300mm on a 35mm camera) sells for under $600.[url]http://www.ritzcamera.com/product/SLR1160.htmIt's[/url] a great starter system and will give you outstanding results.[url]http://www.stunningnikon.com/picturetownThere[/url] are also great economy systems from Olympus, Canon, and Pentax that will give you amazing photos.
