The WEP Weiton 2/35 is made by Kiron, it is a good lens, a bit soft at f2 but very sharp at f4, f5.6, f8. One thing to check is the function of the aperture. Kiron used a type of lubricant that becomes quite liquid over time and can cause the aperture blades to stick at the wide open position.

The 135mm looks the same as the Chinon branded version and should also be a good lens, it is quite hard to find a bad 135mm

There are no adapters for EOS without a glass element I'm afraid. It might be better to sell them and find copies in Olympus, Nikon, Pentax, Yashica/Contax or M42 mount.

If you don't want to do a mount swap you will have better results looking for lenses with mounts that have a larger registration depth than EOS, like: Nikkor, OM, M42, PK, etc...
Good luck.
