Tamron lens on Digital body


i have lot of Tamron lenses with adapters for Nikon/C/Y/Pentax/OM. I want to add a amateur digital body which is compatible with tamron lenses and give equal view in the camera's viewfinder i.e. like 35mm film view finder picture. Advice/commnets will lead to make a purchase decision specifically lower end digital gear of above mentioned three leading manufacturers.

  Assuming your Tamron lenses are manual focus using the Adaptall® mounts, then you are limited to Nikon and Pentax digital SLRs.

I don't think there is an Adaptall mount for the Canon EF mount used in the EOS digital SLR cameras, which is different and not compatible with their old FL/FD-mount. Similarly, Olympus's DSLR uses a new lens mount that is not compatible with the old OM-mount. Yashica/Contax do not as yet make a digital SLR using their 35mm film lens mount.
