Now, to find a camera that's compatible.
It looks like it will work with these cameras:
Sony A700
Sony A900
However, these are not full-frame sensor cameras. He wants to use this to take photos of decks, and needs to be able to take a wide-angle shot. Because they are not-full-frame sensor cameras, they won't really be shooting at the same range as described on the lenses. This is not a problem, just an observation.
Also, now that I look at it, these cameras came out 10 years ago. So, let's find a newer digital camera.
"Generally, all Minolta AF (ie Minolta a-mount) lenses from Minolta will work on Sony alpha cameras. This may include the e-mount NEX range, if used with an LA-EA1 or 2 adaptor, although there may be restrictions. Sony have a page for compatibility with each Alpha range."
Here are the DSLR-type cameras that Sony makes today:
