As far as compatibility from 35mm to a specific DSLR, in most cases you won't have a problem. However, a standard lens behaves differently on a DSLR since the DSLR's ccd is much smaller than the size of 35mm film. To put it simply you will get the equivalent of about 1.5 times the magnification using a standard lens on a DSLR. This may or may not excite you depending on what you plan on photographing. For example, the increased magnification comes at the expense of the breadth of the zoom. You won't get the same wide angle shots on a DSLR with you macro lens as you did before. I guess it just depends on what you want.

Same standard lens used on a 35mm and DSLR respectively.
