Hi Joseph,
If you take a look at the following list you can see which lenses are ,
at least theoretically, mountable on an EOS body.

http://www.a1.nl/phomepag/markerink/mounts.htm

If the figure in the Register column is larger than the 44mm shown for
Canon EOS  the lens could be adapted.
This said, there could be other difficulties mounting such a lens, eg
protruding parts which hit the mirror.
So it looks as if Alpa unfortunately wouldn't be adaptable for either
EOS or 4/3 bodies, except as a close-up lens - no infinity focus - or
would require an adapter with a correcting lens element.
Best from Hannover
Douglas
