I’ve shot with the Q3 at Goodwood, keeping it close to my chest, arms tucked in tight, was told I looked like a miniature T-Rex……..

Don't overthink a track day tool, A9 and 100-400, go shoot, simple.Still musing, been quite busy with work, so had little time for internet research

And a gym membership so he can carry the Z9Blow the budget and get a grey Nikon Z9 and Z 100-400
Never had you down as a champagne taste, lemonade money kind of guy, especially given your extravagant purchase from Wetzlar, blow the cobwebs off the walletThe bit that causes me to overthink that combo is the budget - that combo pushes over my ceiling - a lot (probably) depends on what I get for the gear that I will be selling - though that combo does have some other benefits, in that I'd have a stacked sensor and one of my disciples wouldn't have one, so it would force him to make a purchase too

What you selling ?
The price of the latest bodies just keeps rising which makes the A9 look even more of a bargain, not sure you'd be happy with the results for landscape though, motorsport on the other hand, could say it's so good it may enter the realms of being boring ?Not sure yet, but possibly several GFX lenses and some film stuff that I don't use too often. I used the Q3 and GFX50S+GF63mm last weekend and felt that as a pair they worked really well. But if I had a motorsport combo, then I could let the GF100-200 go and the I'm umming and arring about the GF45mm at the moment, as that Wetzlar P&S Camera is rather good.

Too busy trying to work out why FIFA 24 won't work on their crappy LCD screensDon't let the fanboi's hear you..........................................................
I'm very pleased with my Canon 100-400 L Mk II. I tend to drive mine with a 1DX Mk II occassionally with a R7 with a lens adaptor.
Out of the 1DX2 or R7 I prefer the 1DX2. The R7 has some nice features, but ultimately its an older pro body vs a new pro-sumer body, and I think the physical size of the 1DX body makes operating the camera and lens together better balanced.Thanks, the Canon 100-400ii is at the top of my invetigation/shopping list - just what to pair it with DSLR or Mirrorless
It’s your motorsport setup. That’s gotta take priority. Don’t muddy the waters with what if.Thanks, the Canon 100-400ii is at the top of my invetigation/shopping list - just what to pair it with DSLR or Mirrorless
Can also be adapted to a GFX as well.Thanks, the Canon 100-400ii is at the top of my invetigation/shopping list - just what to pair it with DSLR or Mirrorless

I use an A9 with the Sony 100-400mm and it's a brilliant combo. You could just about do it with your budget if buying used.
Previously used the Canon R7 with the Canon 100-400mm II and that was no slouch either.
New 100-400 currently on offer at Cotswoldcameras for £1499, then there’s the A9 in the classifieds with the £1k asking price. In budgetMy GFX does have the AF speed or the frame rate for what I want!
Thanks, I’m coming round to the A9 + 100-400GM
Nothing wrong with grey per se (not wanting to open up the ethics debate )New 100-400 currently on offer at Cotswoldcameras for £1499, then there’s the A9 in the classifieds with the £1k asking price. In budget
Edit: oh how disappointing, I didn’t realise Cotswold were grey imports. Ignore above.
Oooooh you little monkeyNothing wrong with grey per se (not wanting to open up the ethics debate )
It pays to go grey.Nothing wrong with grey per se (not wanting to open up the ethics debate )
Not WR?Or go with a Sigma 100-400 around £900 in place of the Sony GM
Not properly. The mount has a seal, but I don't think the whole lens is weather sealed.Not WR?
I don't think the DR on the A9 is tha bad in all honesty, people have happily shot landscapes with the 5D3 for years and the A9 quite a bit better DR than that. Plus you can backet if needs be.I want to thank all for their input. I'm pretty much decided to go for an A9/100-400GM - it will have to wait a short time, while I sort out what I'm actually getting rid of to help fund it.
I accept that the A9 might not be the best if I want to use it from landscape work, but I might keep the GF100-200 to give me some reach with the GFX.
I haven't though completely ruled out a Canon Solution.

Agreed. I shoot exclusively on A9s and very happy with landscapes. Briefly had A9 and A7Riii but prefer simplicity of having same controls on both.I don't think the DR on the A9 is tha bad in all honesty, people have happily shot landscapes with the 5D3 for years and the A9 quite a bit better DR than that.

Thanks but not a fan of bikes - I’m a car man!! Might go for the GTs at Easter@Mr Perceptive Well if you have got a kit then first race at Oulton in March 23, bikes, so if your there in the morning head over to the outside of Lodge, there will be a couple of us shooting through the fence before the sun starts to catch it.
It’s all yours I’m not rushing……@Mr Perceptive I wish you'd snap up the A9 in the classifieds so I don't cave and end up needing a coroner when my gf finds out!
I'm not in a rush either as I can't afford it but itss a bargain that is hard to resist!It’s all yours I’m not rushing……
