Is there a way to adapt a Kiron 28-105mm lens to fit a Canon EOS Rebel XT camera.

Also I would like (if possible) to use a YUS automativ F2.8 135mm on the same camera.

It seams a shame to sell both of these lenses for only $40.00

Thank you
British Columbia

YUS is a native yashica mount so I have to assume the kiron is also Contax/yashica mount. This is one of the most popular adaptions for eos DSLR cameras. You can search ebay for an adapter. I would suggest one with a focus confirmation chip. Also buy one from a good seller like Big is or Happypage HK. I have a few adapters from Roxsen and can not recomend them. They are cheap (maybe the cheapest). Not every adapter has worked correctly for me and roxsen does not return emails about problems.

BTW welcome to the forum! How nice it must be to live in northern BC. I'm just across the border in Anacortes (30 miles airspace from Victoria).
