    • @BJJgurl
      @BJJgurl 9 місяців тому

      The best focal length if you have the space. In my way of thinking 85mm is outdoor shooting but hard to fit in most studios.

    I have been really enjoying the 85mm focal length ever since I finally found one I could afford. The XF56mm f1.2(version 1.0) is a lens I just keep using. Billed as a portrait lens, I find it great for so many things. Stopped down its sharpness is so good. I use it for hiking photography all time as well as for cars and anything in between. Have a great day!!

    Thanks for this video. Great passion. That's important for many things in life incl photography. I have probably more lenses than I need but the 85 is the one I use for most things unless I need greater reach such as with my 70-300. I have two 85 lenses, the 1.8 and 1.4. The 1.4 is just amazing in terms of the images I can create with it. I'm thinking of adding another as I know that the different brands have different characteristics. In summary the 85 is my standard focal length. Ciao.

    Currently shooting with Sigma 56mm f/1.4 on a6600 but planning to get a full frame soon and Sigma 85mm f/1.4 is probably going to be the first lens I'll get.
    In fact, I'll probably get it before the body, hehe.

    The 85mm allows me (compared to smaller focal lengths) to stay a bit further away from the scene I am photographing. Ideal for street photography.

    • @CurtisPadley
      @CurtisPadley  Рік тому

      Couldn't agree more! I think it's somtimes great cause you don't have to get to up close and personal like you said!🤙 I think it's ideal for people who are starting with street photography cause it can be super nerve wracking when first starting out!

    Bought a used 85mm 1.8 so I could test the range. Ended up keeping it. Way smaller, lighter and cheaper than the 1.4 version. Amd in all honesty, 95% of us dont need the extra 2/3 stop or the extra bokeh.

  • @jhirse3547
    @jhirse3547 Рік тому

    Love your 85 f1.4 videos! Unfortunately it‘s out of my league price- and sizewise, so I‘m looking into the Sigma 90mm f2.8 DG DN. I‘m aware of the pro‘s and con‘s comparing to the Sigma 85 f1.4, but I wonder what your thoughts are. Do you shoot f1.4 all the time, or do you also stop down every once in a while? (All on the a6400)

  • @paulm8157
    @paulm8157 Рік тому +1

    Points credibly made, Curtis. Cool venue (nice trams, too😊). 85mm on full frame works well for me, as does 56mm on crop. Field of view should be a key consideration for this and any other lens, IMO. Subject matter, along with individual’s “way of seeing/field of view” should guide us. E.g., if you find yourself doing image crop very often, then perhaps a longer fl (narrower field of view) would be quite helpful. IMO, Sigma’s tend to be heavier. Have you tried Viltrox 85mm?
    You’ve got more than 30K subs, and deserve better accommodations than that austere dive, Curtis😂. Cheers!

    • @CurtisPadley
      @CurtisPadley  Рік тому +1

      Thanks for your comments Paul, made some great points😁👌
      I've done a few videos on the viltrox before, they are on the channel 🤙
      In terms of accommodation, it's nothing fancy, cheap, easy and didn't cost an arm and a leg to stay there. Practicality over luxuries in my opinion

    Hi Curtis, i loved the outputs of your work using the 85mm. But does this mean actual focal length and not the lens? Your using ff right? So for apsc should bought a 56mm lens?

    Looking forward to the POV dude, surprised you didn't go for an IKEA hat whilst in Sweden 😂 the 85mm is one lens I've not had chance to shoot with but really want to. Out of the budget unfortunately but for automotive photography that I primarily shoot it would be epic.

    I do love the 85mm I just don’t use it enough. That my aim when out next to just use that.
    What are your thought on 85mm being a bit of a cheat code on street due to the compression making most photos look epic.

    • @CurtisPadley
      @CurtisPadley  Рік тому

      I am guilty of using the 85mm a bit to much, it's just addicting haha
      Imo I don't think it's a cheat code, I think it's important to not just shoot with it cause of the compression and look. I think it's just another way of capturing photography, composition and story shouldn't be forgotten about just because a lens can make pretty much anything look cinematic.

    So 85 would be great recommendation for full frame body - what about APS-C? 50 then? Im looking to finally escape the kit lens purgatory and I've kept an eye on some budget 35/50/85's from Yongnuo. The most budget one is the 50mm f1.8.

    • @CurtisPadley
      @CurtisPadley  Рік тому +1

    I bought sigma 85mm f1.4 art lens . I’m very new to photography. I’m using Sony a6700 camera . I’m unable to use the zoom feature . Can anyone please tell me does this lens have zoom feature ?! If yes how to enable it ?

    • @CurtisPadley
      @CurtisPadley  6 місяців тому

      Hello, great to hear your starting out in photography! Great setup you've got there. I'm unsure what zoom feature you are referring to, so gonna presume it's the lens itself. The 85mm is a prime lens. Which means it only has one focal length, you can't zoom with this lens.
      Hope that helps ✌️
