It was sooo fun to walk around with you! 🎉🎉

[@CurtisPadley]

More passion, more energy, more foot work! 😂⚡

[@shackpixx]

Thanks Mate for your words. Made me happy to hear them and I totally appreciate it. I wish you and your loved ones a very merry Christmas. 🤙🏼🤙🏼

[@schenebod]

i am happy with my a7iv sigma85 1.4 combo, does the job for me, will get myself the white wonder 70-200 2.8 gm ii for christmas 😍

[@TRAININGDAYMEDIA]

What a beast of a lens! When I owned it, it gave me tendonitis 🥵 I think a lighter and similar looking option would be the Sony 135GM.

[@Dev-q1m5b]

Your steet photography pov's are awesome bro.Personally Tnx to you for inspiring me.Want to see more pov videos❤️‍🔥❤️‍🔥❤️‍🔥❤️‍🔥❤️‍🔥 Love from Bangladesh🇧🇩

[@CurtisPadley]

Thanks mate! Delighted to say I have more on the channel if you wanna check them out! 🤙🏻

[@mciancia]

Love it! I notice that you dont use the lens hood, do you use the protector filter on it?

[@keessonnema]

105 as a whole is a great focal length. I own the 105mm 2.8 macro, but this 1.4 is in-sane. Seen it a few times, but haven't shot with it myself, but man it's so good!

[@CurtisPadley]

It's bonkers! Love this prime, maybe try and hire it, give it ago. So much fun to shoot with! ⚡

[@GilbertTV]

I paused this half way through to see what price I could get a 105 for.. about £950 used .. hahaha.. great work & love seeing you out in Manchester in some familiar places ive shot many times myself before 😎

Another one knocked out of the park mate 👌🏻

Thanks mate! ⚡

[@rianapienaar2090]

Love it!! Photo at 1:38 is AWESOME before the edit!

[@xxcaseyxxc]

I really need to add the 105 to my kit. I've heard so many damn good things about it.

[@CurtisPadley]

It's a phenomenal lens ⚡

[@paulm8157]

Enjoyable, high energy post, Curtis, fine pics - red jacket biker my fav. Not your night for bikes, unless you are more patient. Good car captures make up for it😊. Beast of a lens, too heavy/bulky for my on-the-go uses. What is the closest focus point of the lens? Were you on auto-white balance? Not enough puddles? - drink lots of beer and “improvise”😊. (Don’t count on a singing career, Curtis😊.) Cheers!

[@jeffbackcountry5651]

Epic shots and video! You’re very talented and your enthusiasm keeps me ingaged during the videos. Excellent work and thanks so much for sharing, cheers from Canada eh!🇨🇦🤙🏻

[@CurtisPadley]

Ohhh eh Canada! 🇨🇦🤙🏻I Hope to hopp bout one day and pay visit eh! Haha sorry that was such an awful impression 😂 anyway, Super awesome to hear you liked the video and photos! 😁

[@jeffbackcountry5651]

@@CurtisPadley haha that was perfect eh! Lovin your content, keep doing what you’re doing, can’t wait to see your next video and I just got done watching this one.

[@gsnuser9517]

Good day Curtis Padley! I've been your fan since 2022 and i love your street photography and car photography contents. Can i suggest that in the next of your videos, can you include the names of preset are you using below the exposure settings. I really love your presets.

[@CurtisPadley]

Thanks mate! Appreciate the suggestion as well! 🤙🏻

[@stkuj]

That lens really needs an update! I hope Sigma re-does it.

[@CurtisPadley]

Dang! Yeahhh could you imagine how insane that would be! ⚡

[@svensalbum]

I personally prefer the 85mm Sony G-Master on occasions like this! It’s not so heavy! It costs me a lit of money but in these conditions it really pays off.

[@KEHA14]

I have this lens and adore it. I wish it gad faster AF but ifs image quality is insane

[@PaulFeinberg]

Killer photo walk! I want to do these POV videos! I just got an action 4, now I just need to do it! lol Great job dude!

[@CurtisPadley]

Thanks dude! ⚡ Definitely have to jump on making some POVs! 🤙🏻

Crazy shots!

Thanks mate! This lens is 🤯

[@Zoltan99]

When we will see Viltrox 75mm f1.2 vs Sigma 56mm f1.4 on α6700 ? - this is the most hot topic right now not old α7IV

[@Sebartus]

I agree with full test in studio environment and outside and test during the day and at night.

[@pentagramyt417]

He does what he want, just leave if you wish. You could ask him IF HE COULD do that. You are not paying him for the gear rent. Or if you wish you can pay for it, he will test and do a video for us! :)

[@chaosai_visuals]

In what universe is the A7IV considered old????

[@pentagramyt417]

@@chaosai_visuals He probably didn't even have a chance to hold it in hand. People who work hard for their gear to buy, would never say bad word on anything they used.

[@CurtisPadley]

Zoltan, you have asked this comment multiple times in my comments. Whilst I appreciate the enthusiastism. I have adviced multiple time it's in the works. I have only had the Sony A6700 for a few weeks, today it has been handed back to the person who loaned it to me. I have done some Side by Side Autofocus test. But not much else in regards to the A6700 doing side by side. Why? Cause I haven't had time. In the last three weeks of having the camera I've made 5 videos. Yes 5. I've been pushing myself like mad to make content because I wanna see what the A6700 is made of and so do other people. I don't appreciate you negatively saying about the A7IV content I have shared this week. I've put effort into this video, like I do with all my video and receiving comments like this are not pleasant. Unlike other KZbinr I also can't just afford to buy an A6700. My car has gone wrong which is gonna cost me £850 and I've got some big bills to pay this month. So I simply cannot go out and buy it. This is my channel at the end of the day. I wanted to drop this video this week cause I've always wanted to play around with a Sigma 105mm and was super exited to share what this lens can do. I will start working on the comparison video in the next week or so. But please remember I'm one person doing all this and I don't like to rush content. I like to make content enjoyable and informative. So I hope this response clears all that up for you.

[@grahamatkinson8348]

Hi, l recently bought your pre-set pack and was wondering which pre-set you are using for these great wet night scenes?. great stuff

[@sgsadvance]

Hey Curtis, i Love your Videos! You inspire me to get out there myself. Can you please include the Name of the preset you used for the individual picture in your Videos?

[@Goyogawa]

what's the name of the transition at the beginning of the video? that burn effect

[@CurtisPadley]

Film burn effect 🔥

[@Albertoabrian]

so A6700 has a weather and moinsture sealed, can it use on the rain just like your A74?

[@earleyreecemitchell]

How can you tell if you are overexposing while taking the pic, the brightness if high always looks brighter

[@call-me-sven]

Love this lens, just the out of focus chromatic aberrations are a bit off-putting sometimes.

[@sgpork]

Just curious.. on a normal night shooting like this.. how many raw photos you end up with? 500? 1000?

[@CurtisPadley]

This was about 1700, really just depends. ⚡

[@sgpork]

@@CurtisPadley thanks for reply. Man thats alot of photo to go thru isnt it. Burst mode it is.

[@giovannigio6217]

1.64kg, this is a heavy boy

[@CurtisPadley]

Built like a tank but also weighs just as much haha! 🤣

[@giovannigio6217]

next time you can go heavier and challenge yourself with a portrait session renting the manual focus Nikkor 58mm 0.95 NOCT, 2kg like the 2kg worth of gold missing in your bank account afterwards. apart from telephoto lenses, this one is the heaviest, and surely the hardest lens to use especially at the max aperture. unfortunately it's Nikon mount only. @@CurtisPadley

[@axisproductionsltd]

What car park is that in Manchester.

[@ColdCoffeePhotography]

That lens weighs as much as you do! 🤭
