LIZ O. BAYLEN SHOOTS THE WORLD

WITH A SIGMA LENS.

Even landscapes like the Lincoln Memorial can be seen in a playful light. A duck settles on the reflecting pool in front of the Lincoln Memorial. This amusing moment was captured by a telephoto zoom lens that incorporates Sigma’s original OS (Optical Stabiliser) function. Sigma has introduced two new OS telezoom lenses compatible with digital SLR cameras. These lenses are primarily designed for extreme telephoto work but reveal their additional strength when taking close-up shots. SLD (Special Low Dispersion) coated glass effectively corrects chromatic aberrations and Super Multi-Layer Coating reduces flare and ghosting. The HSM (Hyper Sonic Motor) provides silent, responsive autofocus action and full-time manual focus override.
