Hi from a former Michigander. I would shop for a camera you like first and it appears you may have an extra lens that will work on it. Or perhaps you could buy a camera for each lens. :)

Not a whole lot of info you're giving up.
Those that can help will need to know 1st what kind of camera
are you leaning towards. Bridge,cropped sensor,full frame?
Let them know what mm lenses from which brand.
I shoot only canon and only digital. Some can tell you if you will be able to use adapters. But more info is definitely needed. And welcome to UHH .

Welcome from a fellow Michigander..I shoot with a Canon and now have so many Canon lenses I couldn't afford to change brands if I wanted to.

Stall,
Welcome to UHH.
Suggest you go to your local camera store and handle models that interest you. Do some research before to get an idea of what best fills your photographic needs. Some stores offer rentals so you can try them out first hand.

Hi, stallcleaner. Welcome to the hog. The best advice at this time that i can give you is to take your lenses to your local camera store and see if they match up to the modern digital cameras. They may not. If they dont, try to bargain for the price of a new camera, or part thereof. But in any event, try on all the cameras to see which one "talks to you," and that will be the one you need to purchase.
Rich
