LIZ O. BAYLEN SHOOTS THE WORLD WITH A SIGMA LENS
Focusing on the ball, just as a player would, here in New York’s Central Park.
Thepassion that this croquet player infuses into this ball is apparent in hisfingertips. Thisshot was
capturedbyaSigma lens, a large aperture standard zoom lens optimized for full-frame digital SLR
cameras. Benefiting from the latest opticaldesign, a compact body length of only 3.7 in. (94.7mm)is
achieved. Extra Low Dispersion (ELD), Special Low Dispersion (SLD) glass elements and three
asphericallenses compensate for color aberrations and ensure highimage quality. The Super Layer
Multi Coating reduces flare and ghosting, and the Hyper Sonic Motor (HSM) ensures quiet, high-speed
autofocus whileallowing full-time manual focus override. With case, petal-type hood(LH876-01)
Corresponding AF mounts: Sigma, Canon, Nikon, Sony, Pentax
Largeaperture standard zoom lens optimized for full-frame digital SLR cameras that features a compact design and an HSM system.
