Help! Would like to adapt a Minolta lens to a Digital Rebel

[richlove]

I am a stereo photography buff. I am trying to find a way to adapt a Vivitar Q-Dos anaglyph lens to my Digital Rebel. The Q-Dos has a 58mm M/MD mount.
Any suggestion? I have found no such adapters on the Net so far, perhaps a combination of adapters might work. Does anyone have helpful suggestions.
Thanks

Minolta manual focus cant be adapted to fit because it must be mounted closer to the camera than an EOS lens -i.e they have a shorter register distance.
Someone probably makes one of those cheap optical adapters sold on ebay but they do degrade image quality to some extent.

The only other option is to remove the M/MD mount parts and fit an EOS lens mount to it.

There are certain lenses that can be adapted to EOS with no need for optical type adapters so full image quality is available.These are nikon,leica,contax and the common old screw mount

I have an auto focus 50mm f1.4 minolta lens that i love. There is no way in a million years it will work on a Canon. Though your manual lens has more chance that the AF type.

Thanks Ron.
Is changing the mount to an EOS mount easily enough done? Something a layman can do, or will it need to be done in a shop. Being a bit obsessive compulsive I actually have two of the Q-Dos lenses and would certainly change one. I live in Guadalajara, Mexico, but will be in the States next week and can look for the mount. Don't mean to be a bother but would appreciate it if you could tell me exactly what to look for.
By the way, I have held the lens in place in front of the camera and taken good photos with it, but I suppose that places the lens a little further out than it would be when secured in a mount.
Thanks
