Old lenses new camera

Would anyone know of a digital camera that would accept the lenses from my Canon T90(non auto focus). Adaptor or otherwise.

The old style lenses (FD) used manual couplings for diaphragm control which makes them pretty much useless even if the mount would work which it will not. Note the two levers on the back of the lens. Hope this helps!

You're right. I may have given inaccurate info but I seem to remember the T-90 using the FD lenses rather than EF. It's been years since I've seen a T-90 but I remember thinking it was a great design and built like a tank. I have an Eos 650 that I still use that takes the AF lenses but uses film. I don't find myself using it much anymore. Film processing is getting harder to find locally but I'm still setting up a B/W darkroom for my Mamiya 645 1000s.
