Hi Ken, many years ago I recycled two camera lenses from my SLR days.

These old camera lenses can still be found, ranging from 135 to 1000mm and make a very nice super-finder for a larger telescope, cheaper than buying a good refractor.

However ... they are not sharp at high power and unsuitable for imaging - a modern sensor like yours has pixels far too small.

Even the recent canon full frame sensor with 19micron pixels is probably not going to work well.
