Can I use this lens with any new digital camera? - thanks

Yes, you can. Also see the F.A.Q. list.

Thanks, Michael. Any ideas on which new camera would be best for compatability - I cannot imagine it fits all new models. Thanks again
Michael Hohner answers:
It does fit all Minolta and Sony DSLR cameras. It does not fit one better than the other. You will probably find the limits of this lens on the latest series, having the highest pixel density, but this is not a question of compatibility, but of quality.

I'm trying it out now on a Sony 230 - quality is good but.. not great but I think I need to experiment more. Thanks for the time and feedback
