Bell Howell Lens
I have a zoom lens for an old SLR film camera but was wondering if I can use it for an SLR digital camera?
My father passed away a few years ago and I was digging through some of his belongings and found one of his old SLR cameras that he bought in the mid-80s and it has a nice zoom lens with it. I have some pictures of it here.

I am thinking of buying a Canon 30D SLR digital camera(body only) and was wondering if I can use this lens instead of buying a new one? Can anybody tell me if it will fit and know anything about this lens such as value, image quality etc? I've searched everywhere online to get some information about this lens but i guess it's too old. I just want to know if it will be compatible with any of the new Canon digital SLRs.
Thanks in advance!
Jimmy
First of all, I'm sorry to hear about your father.
As for the lens - The Canon 30D takes EF lenses, and just from eyeing your photos I don't think it would fit into a Canon body without modification/an adapter. This is what an EF lens mount looks like, if you want to compare it to the lens mount on your Bell&Howell.

I haven't been able to find any information about this lens either. 
Sorry.
