i have an old minolta SLR camera with a few different lenses... i want to get a new digital SLR.... are the lens fittings standard, or would i need to buy another minolta?
Answer
All camera manufacturers use a proprietary lens mount. Therefore, a Canon lens will not mount on a Nikon or Olympus or Sony or Pentax body and their lenses will not mount on any other body. There are adapters that allow you to use a Sony lens on a Canon or Olympus but you lose a lot of the features like metering and auto focus. The one exception is the Fujifilm DSLR line which uses a Nikon lens mount.
When Minolta introduced the world's first full-featured Auto Focus 35mm SLR in 1985 they changed their lens mount from the MC/MD bayonet mount to the A-mount. After the Konica-Minolta merger, Sony bought the DSLR technology from K-M and is still using the A-mount.
If your lenses are from the SRT or X series of Minolta cameras (MC/MD bayonet mount) then you will need an adapter to use them on a Sony or Canon or Olympus DSLR. If you have an old Minolta Maxxum then they can be used on any Sony DSLR.

Answer
Minolta, Pentax, Olympus, Nikon, and Canon all offered a 50mm f1.8 lens for their 35mm film cameras. A better choice, in my opinion, would be a 50mm f1.4.
Sony, Pentax, Olympus, Nikon, Sigma, Fuji and Nikon all offer 50mm f1.4 or f1.8 for their DSLR cameras.
Usually, you choose a camera first and then buy lenses for it. All manufacturers use a proprietary lens mount which means Sony (and Minolta Maxxum AF) lenses only fit Sony DSLRs; Nikon lenses can be used on Nikon and Fuji DSLRs (Fuji builds their DSLR on a Nikon body); Canon lenses only fit Canon bodies, etc.
