Will the Sony Alpha also work the Auto Focus lenses?

They are the only choice. The manual focus lenses use a different mount.

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.
