Glen, I've just joined the list, and coincidently this is something I've been going through myself recently.
There are two adaptors that are the most common - "M42" and "T2" Basically these are just metal rings that allow you to connect older lenses to modern cameras. (But by doing so you might lose Autofocus and Autoexposure - no big deal given the benefits). You can have one adaptor or several, they are about £5 - £10 each. Most people get away with having a couple of each, if they have a few old primes. Its whatever you find easiest.
