Minolta / Konica Minolta / Sony Alpha

APO
    Apochromatic correction using AD(Anomalous Dispersion) elements. Mostly used on tele primes and zooms.

HS-APO
    APO with higher-speed electronics and gearing. Some of the long tele primes were released after the other APO tele primes were updated to HS-APO, so they don't have a non-HS predecessor. Also, the latest SSM lenses are again only called "APO".

(D)
    Distance encoder, used for ADI(Advanced Distance Integration) flash, matrix metering in MF mode and DOF(Degree of Freedom) display. All D lenses currently also feature a wider focus ring. With some the focus ring does not rotate in AF mode.

DT
    "Digital Technology", image circle adapted to APS-C(Advanced Photo System type-C) digital SLRs. Can not be used with full-frame cameras.

G
    Minolta's high quality lenses, featuring a large maximum aperture, AD elements, high build quality, circular aperture, aspheric elements, floating focusing.

SSM
    SuperSonic-wave Motor, in-lens ultra-sonic motor. Compatible only with the 7 and later bodies, plus the 9 after a firmware upgrade. Not compatible with series I and II converters.

xi
    Motorized zoom controlled by the body or by the photographer (power-assisted manual zoom). Auto-zoom only works on xi bodies with assorted chip cards. Manual zoom must be used on bodies after the xi series. Does not work on pre-xi bodies.

APO
    使用AD元素來修正複消色差。主要使用在遠攝和變焦鏡中。

例子，Minolta AF 300/2.8 APO



HS-APO
    在APO加上高速度電子和連動裝置。一些超遠攝在發報APO後被更新了HS-APO，因此他們沒有一個non-HS 前者。並且，最新的SSM鏡只再叫做"APO" 。

例子，Minolta AF 300/2.8 HS-APO G



(D)
    距離編碼器，使用於ADI閃光、矩陣測量在MF和DOF顯示。所有D鏡都有一個更寬的對焦環為特色。有一些對焦環在AF方式下不會轉動。

例子，Konica Minolta AF 28-75/2.8 (D)



DT
    "數碼技術"，成像圈適應APS-C DSLRs。不能被使用於全篇幅相機。

例子，Konica Minolta AF DT 18-70/3.5-5.6 (D)



G
    Minolta最高質量鏡，以大最光圈，AD元素，高製造質量，圓形光圈，非球體元素，浮動動焦為特色。

例子，Minolta頂級人像鏡，Minolta AF 85/1.4 G (D)



SSM
    超音速動馬達，在鏡內建超音波馬達。只適用於7系和最新機身兼容，9系在韌體升級以後，都可以使用。與系列I 和II轉換頭不相容。

例子，Minolta神鏡，Minolta AF 70-200/2.8 APO G (D) SSM



xi
    馬達推動變焦，由機身或攝影師控制。自動變焦只在有晶片的XI機身上運作。XI系列之後的機身必須使用手動變焦。不適用於pre-xi機身。

例子，Minolta AF 80-200/4.5-5.6 xi
