Yes the auto focus lenses are the ones which are compatible. I do have a couple of old Minolta 2X teleconverters which convert the old manual focus lenses to work with the autofocus bodies.

Of course you still have to focus them manually. Each Minolta body has a setting which you use with non autofocus lenses as there were some which were compatible but not autofocus.

Oddly every body uses a different setting. I don’t know why they didn’t use the same one for all of them.

Thanks to both of you.
I really liked, no ~ loved my Minolta 7000 Camera and attachments.
I think I've got 4 lenses for it (I haven't handled it in quite a few years), and they're all made for that series of Auto Focus Cameras.
I believe I can still get both the programmable back and the camera body serviced by a professional.
It's one of the older series of camera's that they will service.
I wanted the 9000 body, but my brother talked me out of it and to the 7000.
