Alright, so my parents have an older Pentax ME Super (film DSLR) and a couple lenses for it.
I bought a t2i this summer and I want to use their old lenses with my t2i.
Is there an adapter ring I can use for this? Any other advice on adapter rings?
I'm a complete noob when it comes to cameras, slowly learning though.

I have an ME super as well, super fun little film camera.

You can get a pentax K (PK mount) to EOS mount adapter on ebay for less than $15. I just ordered one that apparently has focus confirm, we'll see how that goes. If you don't want focus confirm then they're even cheaper. It's just a metal ring that allows the pentax lens to fit on the canon, so quality is pretty much the same for all of them. There's no glass element to worry about.

Just so ya know, DSLR stands for Digital Single Lens Reflex So it isnt a film DSLR it is just an SLR.
Not trying to be picky just letting you know.

I actually do know what the "D" stands for in DSLR, just a typo I made when writing the OP haha.

Pretty sure I've got a prime and a Vivitar 17-50 macro lens.
I actually shot a roll of film on the Pentax at a skiing comp, the pictures turned out so well and I had so much fun that I decided to go the digital route so I could shoot more and do some filming. I'll definitely be picking it up again at some point though, because film just looks like.... film.
