Sigma builds lenses with mounts to fit Sigma and other cameras. I own two which are made to fit a Canon body. These would not work on a Sigma camera as they are, but I'm sure the lenses are also available with a Sigma compatible mount. This involves the type of locking ring as well as the location and number of electrical contacts for the motor. So when buying a lens, make sure it has the mounting configuration for the camera you own. The specs should say "for Sigma" or "Sigma mount", etc.
I have tele-converters made by both Canon and Sigma. The mounts look the same, but if I recall correctly I can't use my Sigma converters with certain Canon lenses. In some cases, the equipment may fit, but the combination is not guaranteed to auto-focus. Or the focal length of the lens plus converter may be mis-reported in the EXIF information. Check compatibility tables.
Without a converter you shouldn't run into many problems. But before investing a lot of money, It helps to locate a shop that carries the lens in question and try it on your camera.

What would lenses for a 120film camera equate to in the 35mm film lens standard?
The focal length would roughly double. For example, if you have a 60mm lens for a Hasselblad, and managed to hack it to fit a 35mm camera, that same 60mm lens would be roughly 120mm in a 35mm camera.

Why is a 50 mm lens 0n a 35 mm film camera not the same as a 50mm lens on a digital camera?
most sensors on digitals are much smaller than 35mm film frames, so the lens of 50mm acts lika a telephoto one.
Is a 50mm lens considered normal if using a 35mm camera?
Yes, when using a 35mm format film, the 50mm prime lens is considered a "normal" or "natural view" lens. This does not hold true when using a Digital SLR camera (DSLR) because the sensor for most cameras is not 35mm size (36 by 24mm). Entry level and enthusiast level DSLRs often have sensors that are about half size (18 mm wide) and therefore the 50mm lens is equivalent to a slight zoom. A 35mm or 28mm prime lens is closer to that natural view. Some of the more expensive DSLR cameras have a full size sensor and thus have the same magnification and characteristics of the 35mm film camera.
What does a digital camera have that a 35mm camera doesn't have?
A digital camera has a surface that it made up of many tiny electronic devices that produce signals when light coming in through the lens falls on them. These signals are recorded inside the camera. A 35mm film camera uses film as that surface. Film changes chemically when touched by light. This film is later removed from the camera and put in a chemical solution that makes it possible to see the image.
