You would need an OM to Canon EOS adaptor, widely available online (ebay).

Using old manual lenses can be fun and the results can be quite good but you are stuck with manual focusing which is not easy on digital cameras and manual aperture control.

You would need to set the camera to AV mode as the camera exposure system will not work on TV, program or auto modes with a manual lens. You have to be a real enthusiast to use the old manual lenses and most people find they aren't convenient for everyday shooting.

The 50mm should give good results but the Sigma like most older zoom lenses will probably perform poorly compared to modern lenses.
