3x zoom with attractive pricing, compact size, and low weight

The DT 18-55mm F3.5-5.6 SAM is a 3x (approx.) zoom lens designed specically for use with α DSLRs

that have an APS-C type sensor. It is exceptionally light and compact, with a weight of only 210g

(approx.) and dimensions of 69.5mm (max. diameter) x 69mm (length) that make it very easy to

handle and carry.

Convenient 18-55mm zoom range

The DT 18-55mm F3.5-5.6 SAM's zoom covers the frequently used 18mm to 55mm range (35mm-

format equivalent: 27-82.5mm), and provides a eld of view similar to that of the human eye. As a

result, it is an excellent lens for everyday use, capable of handling everything from snapshots and

group photos to landscapes and portraits.

Aspherical and ED (Extra-low Dispersion) glass elements

Two aspherical elements and one ED (Extra-low Dispersion) glass element are incorporated into

the optics to assure high image quality with excellent contrast and resolution all the way out to the

periphery of the lens. In addition, a circular aperture mechanism is used to assure smoother, more

beautiful background defocusing.

Newly-developed Smooth Autofocus Motor (SAM)

The DT 18-55mm F3.5-5.6 SAM's focusing lens group is driven by a new Smooth Autofocus Motor (SAM)

in the lens itself, instead of a motor in the camera body. Responding instantly to AF drive control

signals from the camera, the motor delivers power with smoothness and precision.

Newly designed rear lens element shade

The designed shape of the rear lens element shade has been updated in the SAL18552 to help

suppress internal reections and reduces are and ghost for higher performance and better image

quality
