Look at your lens when it's not connected to a camera. Can you operate the focus and aperture? That will tell you if a non-electronic adapter is something you want to consider.

None of my lenses have an aperture ring.

That limlits your choice of adapters to those that have a built-in iris.

They do have a manual focus ring and zoom ring though.

That's not enough information. The question is, if turning those rings when the lens has no electrical power, moves the lens elements or not. For zoom, the answer may often be yes, but for focus it is rather often no.
