Yes, the A mount lenses are the auto focusing lenses designed by Minolta for 
the Maxxom and Dynax series AF cameras.  The older manual focus Minolta 
lenses which are called SR mount are not compatible unless you use an SR to 
A mount adaptor which introduces a  bit of extension and a lens element to 
maintain infinity focus.
