A simple question...
 
I have a Konica Minolta Dynax 7D SLR. One of the last sold, after KM had withdrawn from the digital market and sold rights to Sony. I know on the original Sony cameras used the KM lens mounting design and the first Sony DSLR was essentially a redressed, reworked Dynax 5D.

So, can anyone confirm if

a) Sony and Sony ccompatible lenses are still compatible with my Dynax mounting system?
b) Is there any reason to suggest that the AF system has changed making a Sony lens on my Dynax (assuming they still mount) a MF only or not?

Basically I have a good spread of lens for my 7D: 28mm -400mm equivalent over 3 lenses, and up to 800mm if I decide to risk the teleconverter!!

However, I am undecided if I want to use my DSLR and compact on trips or just the compact and some slide film for my trusty CAnon AE-1 Program (I love that camera!!!). So a little investigation into 28-200/300mm SLR super-zooms, (without the super price), might be a good idea...

Nothing like buying gadgets under the pretext of making "practical preparations" for a trip, eh?
