From here http://www.rainbowimaging.biz/shop/ you can find very affordable adaptors for full manual lenses.
Thanks. From what I've heard, RainbowImaging adapters should be quite good.
I guess it's not going to be tough to find a used Minolta or Canon 50mm
No, it's not. But I wonder if those two are good choice for what I wand (primarily indoor taking picture of my baby)? Both Canon and Minolta has 50mm f/1.8 lens which I can afford. Is one of those two significantly better than another and why? Is there any other option I should look for? And... is that what I need? Will pictures taken by any of those two (or some other lens you can recommend ) really be better in low light situations than ones taken with kit lens (16-50)? Or my purchase is just pointless waste of money.
Another lens you could consider: Konica 40mm f/1.8. It is also an in between 35mm and 50mm focal length, giving you somewhat greater flexibility of 35mm and somewhat closeness of 50mm. It would also allow you to shoot hand held in low light to about 1/60s (about the same as a 35mm lens) whereas 50mm will require a little more light, considering lack of stabilization.
Just another thing to worry about.
