Hi Peter, Your lens will be the same lens :-) The difference is that the DSLRs sensors are smaller than a 35mm film frame so it will just be cropped a little. Get a print shot with the lens and chop it down to 1/1.53 in each dimension, that's the new view that the lens will provide on a 1.53 crop factor DSLR.
