Liz O. Baylen / Born in 1979, she graduated from Ohio University’s School of Visual
Communications in 2001 and began working for The Washington Times. She has covered
assignments around the world and was selected as a finalist for the Pulitzer Prize while with
The Washington Times. Most recently, her images have appeared in several major newspapers.

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.
The passion that this croquet player infuses into this ball is apparent in his fingertips. This shot was
captured by a Sigma lens, a large aperture standard zoom lens optimized for full-frame digital SLR
cameras. Benefiting from the latest optical design, 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
aspherical lenses compensate for color aberrations and ensure high image quality. The Super Layer
Multi Coating reduces flare and ghosting, and the Hyper Sonic Motor (HSM) ensures quiet, high-speed
autofocus while allowing full-time manual focus override. With case, petal-type hood (LH876-01)
Corresponding AF mounts: Sigma, Canon, Nikon, Sony, Pentax
Large aperture standard zoom lens optimized for full-frame digital SLR cameras that features a compact design and an HSM system.

A man at the beach is enveloped by the gentle rays of the setting California sun.
In the fading light of day, on his way home from work, a man hits the waves. This single moment in the
man’s lifetime was captured by a high magnification, compact Sigma zoom lens for digital SLR cam-
eras equipped with Sigma’s original Optical Stabilizer function. Special Low Dispersion (SLD) glass
elements and aspherical lens elements provide excellent image quality throughout the entire zoom
range. The Super multi-layer coating helps reduce flare and ghosting, and the Hyper Sonic Motor
(HSM) ensures a quiet and high-speed AF.With lens hood (LH780-04)
