^ The dust specks you see in the viewfinder will have no effect on film images -- they are only in the viewing system of the camera.
I checked this site out a little closer. They do not appear to have mount adapters available there yet. Does anyone know of another place, hopefully in Canada, where I could get some?Since it is an Adaptall type it can be used on many other types of cameras just by changing the mount adapter.

In number 4 above I called this thing I have a "lense shade extension;" lol. Please forgive me amateur terminology. I'll post a picture of it soon, but it does go with the Tamron 500 MM lense
It's probably a lens hood. edit - Now that I see the picture, could be an extender.
Compur is right, I have old mechanical cameras with dust spots in the viewfinder, I look thru or around them and basically ignore them.
Are you familiar with Henry's? I live in the US so haven't bought much from them but I think they sell new as well as used digital if you don't want to get into a big expense. You could probably ask them about what would be compatible or ask about adapters. I think they can get a particular item from another store so if you want a particular camera they can probably get it from one of their locations then ship it. I didn't find it took too long even shipping here to the states.
Shutter should remind closed until you press the shutter release again. After taking shot the film should advance to the next frame, is there any "whirling" sound after firing the shutter ?Everything seems to work - except that the shutter, when it closes after button is pressed, does not seem to open again.

Sure you can, but it's gonna have to be or Nikon or Pentax as Canon and Minolta (Sony today) changed the mounts when changing to AF. You just need to get the proper Adaptall.But I do want to figure if I can use these lenses I have with a more modern digital camera somehow. Im just not sure yet what to get or where.

Well, it's not me. I am a Pentaxian guy but I think the offer of Nikon is richer, more diverse and it is easier to sell, if you have to. Pentax doesn't have full frame sensor in the lineup, but you have full frame lenses, remember that.Bingo! Thanks! This is the kind of thing I needed to know. Now to figure which of those two. Knowing the lenses above that I will be working with - can anyone offer an opinion with reasons as to Nikon, or Pentax?
When you look at what you would be giving up just to keep the lenses I would do some checking. You will definitely give up the auto focus of the digital, possible problems with the auto exposure controls and unless you get a full frame camera ($$$) you will have only telephoto lenses of varying power.
