Lens Adapter Recommendations

[Alex of Sparta]

I'm pretty new to buying lenses for my T2i, but the ones I've bought are either Canons or came with the proper adapter. I'd like to know what adapter I need that will work with pentax lenses and/or Nikons.

If someone can explain how the adapters work and what I need (preferably something affordable for a college student) then I would greatly appreciate it. Thanks.

Not all Pentax (especially) or Nikon lenses are the same. So you'll need to be more specific. However, many of us use Kawa adapters. They can be purchased on EBay for under $20 each. I have several for Nikon and for Pentax screw mount (M42). Pentax also have several other mounts for their lenses and those need different adapters, which is why you need to be more specific.

In terms of use, the adapter screws onto the lens, then the lens with the adapter is put on the camera just like a Canon lens would be. Dead simple.
