Is there a camera lens converter?

[Vanquished]

Hey guys,
I have in my possession, a Sigma 70-210mm lens intended for a Minolta camera, my camera however is a Canon digital rebel xt.
I was hoping/wondering if there is a way I can get a converter to make this lens fit on my camera.
Simply looking through this lens I can see what a great macro lens this is.
I would hate to waste it 🙁

Any help is greatly appreciated, thanks a bunch.

vanq - there are some adapter kits that are available (http://www.amazon.com/Minolta-lens-Canon-mount-adapter/dp/B000YD77KE) that might work.

You may lose some things like the focus dot and confirmation.. depending on how well they work (or don't work) it may make the lens more of a manual lens.

why not just do an insurance job and get the right camera for the lense 😛
