I know its possible, i just have no idea how to figure out which adapter is necessary


I have a T2i and i found some old lenses that my grandpa used for his old (20+ years?) canon SLR. i dont feel like buying a bunch of different lenses so if i could just get an adapter that would allow me to use these then that would be dope.

anyone have some knowledge on this topic?

old lenses i have (they might even suck, i have no clue):

First you wanna make sure these lenses have an aperture ring to manually change aperture cuz if not than they are gonna be useless. I use a couple old school nikon lenses on my t2i with a nikon to eos adapter which cost about 20 bucks but all those have manual aperture rings on them so thats the first thing I would check.
