Camera Lens Adapters
I have a Sigma 29-90mm lens for my film camera and am looking at buying a digital camera, but you need EOS lens' and my lens will not fit the digital I am looking at. Is there some sort of adapter for my lens?

You didn't mention what film camera you have. Here's a rundown:If your film camera is a Canon EOS, you can use your Sigma lens on an EOS digital SLR.
If your film camera is a Nikon, you can use your Sigma lens on a Nikon digital SLR.
If your film camera is a Pentax (or other brand utilizing Pentax's ubiquitous K-mount), you can use your Sigma lens on a Pentax digital SLR.
If your film camera is a Sigma, you can use your Sigma lens on a Sigma digital SLR.
If your film camera is a Minolta Maxxum/Dynax, Minolta has announced that they will soon introduce a digital SLR on which you can use your Sigma lens.
If your film camera is an old manual focus Canon, Minolta, or Olympus, there is no digital camera that can use your Sigma lens.Generally, it is not practical or worthwhile to use a lens built for one camera mount on a body with a different mount. While some exist, they do not enable autofocus nor auto-aperture operation, so they function only fully manual with stop-down metering only.
