Question

I have Ricoh lens... Are they compatible with a Nikon D40 SRL camera?

Answer 1

No.

In general only Nikon lenses fit Nikon's

Canon = Canon

Sony = Minolta, Sony

Pentax = Pentax

And there are no DSLR's made at present that accept Ricoh lenses.

Answer 2

Most Ricoh or "Rikenon" lenses had a Pentax K mount. They will not fit a Nikon. They will fit a Pentax or Samsung DSLR.

Answer 3

The Ricoh XR-1, XR-2 and XR-500 cameras of 1978 all used the Pentax K-mount.

If your lenses are the K-mount then a Pentax K200D or K20D DSLR can use them.

Answer 4

I don't believe this is the case unless there is an adapter available from Ricoh. But I believe to the best of my knowledge that Ricoh only makes lenses for their own cameras. I could be wrong though.

Hope that helps you out some eh?

Answer 5

I'm not so sure what a " ricoh " lens is exactly. However, i can tell you for a fact , that unless the lens is from Nikkor, or is made for nikon by a third party seller, it won't fit. Only nikkor lenses, and lenses made for nikon will work. They use a system known as the " f " mount, and unless " ricoh ", is made for the nikon brand, it won't fit you nikon d40 digital camera.
