Lens Mounts


multi-part question here. im interested in this maxxum 5 camer by minolta. this camera would be to replace a minolta xg1 that i've been using. I have 3 lenses and mulitple 55mm fliters for this xg1 (all manual lenses of course) and I don't know the lens mount type but it would be nice if I could still use these as good lenses are expensive. the B&H webiste tells me that the Maxxum 5 accepts Maxxum AF, I, and Xi lens mounts. so that doesnt get me anywhere and I have no idea what kinds of lenses this camer supports. I look and see all these expensive auto focus lenses, but all I want for now is a nice manual lens about 50mm with a 55mm filter mount and a minimum F-stop of 1.4 or 1.7. someone please help me with this lens mount stuff.
