jesusdean Hello, The first two are old Canon lenses manual focus bayonet mount and the second two lenses are old manual focus Minolta bayonet mount. In both cases, forests have long been abandoned. Adapters can be expensive to put in a modern digital SLR camera Canon or Sony, but the adapters are glass elements (to degrade) the image quality, and (b) have a slight telephoto effect. People who have proven generally not recommended. You can delete items glass adapter, or maybe find an adapter that has no glass elements, but then will focus to infinity, so the lens is then only good for the job closely. Since none of the four objectives are macro lenses, which is probably not a useful option. Furthermore, none of these lenses have much value in the market so it would make more economic sense to sell on eBay and get other old lenses are easier to use on modern digital SLR. The two 50 mm lenses might be of interest to people who are still shooting film with an old Canon or Minolta manual focus. But the two zooms probably have little market value. Them were cheap, poor-qualilty lenses in his day, and someone still shooting Canon or Minolta manual focus can probably find much better lenses at a very low price. But that does not mean you can not use old lenses on modern digital SLR. Many people buy and use very old, low-cost lenses for your digital SLR modern. Pentax / Samsung has the best compatibility with older lenses, followed closely by Nikon. Olympus is a distant third, with Canon and Minolta (later Konica-Minolta and now Sony) bringing up the rear (on compatibility with older lenses). For some of the marks depends on whether you are willing to saw off parts of old lenses. It may want to consult with experts from each brand in what the options are for older lenses. I can tell you about Pentax / Samsung: With a Pentax digital SLR camera or Samsung, you can use any lens ever made for Pentax and Samsung digital SLR or 35mm. For screw-mount lenses (also known as M42 universal screw assembly, or Pentax screw mount), you need an inexpensive adapter that does not have any glass elements to degrade image quality. I have several old lenses for my Pentax DSLR. It's fun to find interesting old lenses at low cost. For example, I paid $ 35 for a strong near mint Polaris 135 mm f / 1.8. A modern equivalant of $ 1,000 – $ 1,500, but it will not take better pictures. Good luck and have fun! Greg
