Hello,
I recently inherited some lenses from my grandmother, she did not have a camera that these went to so it may of broken a while ago. I know on the 35mm lenses the picture will not be the same width as when I use digital lenses. I know you can get adaptors and it may be that I can not get an adaptor that will work on any of these but I would like to try first. Thank you for any help.
I have an EOS Cannon Rebel XTi.
These are the lenses I inherited:
Digital ?
Vivitar Series 1, o67mm, 28-210MM 1:42-6.5 MC Aspherical IF
35mm
Sears, Auto 2x Tele Converter 4E/MC, PK 271.8102
Promaster Spectrum 7 1.4x Tele Converter MDAF

Those are Auto Focus lenses with Minlota mounts and there is no adapter available for Canon EOS cameras. Even if there was an adapter, I doubt you would be happy with the image quality.
Minolta AF lenses will mount directly to Sony Alpha (A-mount) and the Sony E-mount (NEX), but I would just sell them for what ever you can get.
The 28-210mm is only worth about $50 (or less) and probably less for the two teleconverters.

Simple truth. They are not worth the effort. Leave them to the past and move on.

Is the Vivitar for a Milnota too or a Nikon?
