Description of Konica Minolta 18-70mm f/3.5-5.6 Digital Zoom Lens for 5D and 7D Digital SLR Cameras

Optical enhancements include aspherical lenses to reduce spherical aberrations, AD (anomalous dispersion) glass, and a special lens coating that reduces the flaring that often occurs in digital SLR cameras. DT series lenses also incorporate an anti-shake correction system that compensates for blur in a manner that is equivalent to two or three shutter speeds slower. Meanwhile, a built-in distance encoder enables precise ADI flash metering. Using information obtained from the encoder, ADI flash metering calculates the optimum exposure settings and flash brightness needed to obtain a beautiful image when using either the internal flash or compatible external flash units.

Another great feature of DT series lenses is their use of a consistently round aperture. Konica Minolta's specially-designed aperture blades produce a circular opening to help smooth a scene's out-of-focus areas. A round aperture makes it possible to enhance a defocused image with smooth gradations and depict a scene naturally, for example, sunshine filtering through foliage or grass glistening with morning dew.

The 18-70mm DT lens is an all-purpose lens with a zoom range that extends from wide-angle to telephoto-portrait, making it a great lens for general purpose photography. Note that DT series lenses are not compatible with conventional 35mm SLR cameras.
