If it's an older lens, it will only use AF it it specifically says so. Only lenses that are Kaf or Kaf2 have autofocus
(Here's an easier hint - if the lens has 7 or more electrical contacts, it can use AF)
I can't really recommend a lens for you, because you and I probably have different things we want to do. But I'd suggest covering your bases - get something wide and fast, like around 20mm, get something close to human perception, like 50mm, and get a bit of telephoto, like 200mm or above. Get a zoom to cover multiple bases if you don't mind glass that's a tiny bit slower.
