Ok so today I found some really good deals (I hope) at this antique shop that was going out of business. I'd like to take these lenses and mount/adapt them to my T2i. Could anyone please help me identify these lens and let me know which are the proper mounts/adapters are? It would be greatly appreciated. I know most are available on amazon. Thanks!

I'll attach pictures below.

ok so this system for uploading photos is janky. I'm going to try and resubmit photos here so you can tell the lenses apart. There are 4 total lenses. 1 Vivitar 75-205MM lens (was told that this one is Pentax because it says P/K on the bottom). 1 Sigma Maxxum 75-200mm lens. 1 Vivitar 85-205mm lens. 1 Sigma 70mm lens (Minolta). I think the 2 I don't know might be Minolta as well.
 
I'm having trouble uploading the pictures properly so, I'm just going to tell you what you're looking at with the pix above. 1. Minolta 2. Minolta 3. Pentax 4. Minolta 5. Sigma 70-205mm 6. Pentax 7. Minolta 8. Pentax 9. Sigma 75-200mm 10. Vivitar 85-205 11. Sigma Minolta 12. Sigma Minolta

Hope someone can help me out with this puzzle.
 
For the Vivitar 85-205 (to the best of my knowledge) you will need the m42 to EF mount adapter. This lens has a screw on m42 mount.

As for the others I'm not sure...

Edit: I fixed a typo.

Sorry bud... I hope they were nearly free, because none of them will adapt easily. I don't see a single M42 lens, but you don't have a picture of the rear mount of each lens, or don't have them labeled. It's hard to be helpful if we can't even tell which lens is which.
