    As long as they say that they are Auto-Focus for Sony or Minolta, they should be compatible.

    One thing to look for is Minolta Maxxum - those lenses work well on the alpha cameras. I have tested all of my Minolta Maxxum lenses and they work great.

    There may be some people who know more about the actual lenses you asked about.

    I can tell you that some of the old gear did not work on the new camera, so it is not all compatible. Make sure whatever you buy is able to be returned if it doesn't work.

    They'll work, but I'd advise against all of them unless the prices are total rock bottom. For just as cheap as these normally sell for you can do better.

    It looks like Sheri has you well taken care of, but holler if you need more input!
