In principle, you can’t mix and match different types and brands of lenses with different camera bodies. Each camera maker uses its own bespoke lens mount and different mechanical and electronic connections between the camera body and lens. However, it’s often possible to make lenses fit different brands and types of bodies with lens adaptors. These are usually from third-party makers and designed for users who don’t mind a few compromises in camera functions. For example, you may lose autofocus functions and have to use manual focus only, and it’s likely that you’ll have to use manual exposure and lens aperture control rather than the camera’s full range of exposure controls.
