Default Need help finding new digital camera that can use old lenses

I have a Nikon EM camera, circa 1980, and a number of lenses that fit it
($$). Is there a digital camera (Nikon or other make) that will accept my
existing lenses ?? The yutzes at Wolf Camera couldn't tell me and Nikon
is basically no help. Thanks !!

The EM had a standard Nikon bayonet mount compatible with AI manual focus
lenses. Will take AIS lenses, too. You can use AI and AIS lenses on
any of today's Nikon DSLRs with limitations.

Here's the link to the limitations:

And here's one for info on the EM:

Stefan,

Many thanks. You did in 30 seconds what Wolf and several other sources
couldn't do....

Happy Snaps !! Ted
