For a lot of "phototographers" cameras/lenses are like handbags to women ie.
Well it would be quite the faux pas if my camera didn't match my hand bag.

Hmm everyone mostly IT related.
Same here to be honest - Assoc. Director within the NHS in charge of the nation's data. Before that I was a scummy contractor focusing primarily on Software Development
Didn't know the first ff mirrorless camera was out in 2004Errr mirrorless has been around since 2004.

Oh that beast! lolYou'd never guess the manufacturer either..... Epson... RD1
I'm a Storage & Backup Consultant
So the ransomware was your fault!
You won't be disappointed as its a great lens.... just don't drop it as they have a weak design.70-200 f4 just arrived, very nice. My major gas attack is over for the moment. So much for my idea of using older lenses!
ThinkTank bag or VanGuard case?Now Riz, how should I best wrap and store my gear?

What lens can't keep up with the A9?
I assume their top level 24-70 and 70-200 zooms are some of the fastest in terms of AF.
But what about fast primes, 35mm 1.4 and 50mm 1.4 ZA lenses? I remember having the 35mm 1.4 ZA on the A7S and it was a bit slow, but that could have been the body
Also would you buy other brand lenses just to adapt? even if you didn't have that system.
ThinkTank bag or VanGuard case?
I bought my 70-200mm f4 when I used to own my original Sony A7... also had the 24-70mm f4 and the 55mm f1.8.
Good little setup that was....
All shot with the Sony A7 and 70-200mm f4.... https://www.flickr.com/photos/rizvanhussain/albums/72157645949808315
The sharpness was good for me.
It is indeed slow but find it better with the latest firmware mounted on the Sony A9. the Zeiss Batis f1.8 is still faster though.I hear the 85mm/1.4 GM is pretty slow but that's the case with all other fast 85mm lenses.
Excellent, the force is strong with you lol.I've not got the A7 anymore. it lasted a few weeks but was upgraded to the A7Rii during the attack. Got the 24-70 f4 too and the 55 f1.8, 85 f1.8, 35 f2.8, 16-35 f4...
@Riz_Guru re your question about the xh1 - no, I’ve just bought a couple of lenses for e mount. Will have one last try with this system before admitting defeat.
I have heard good things about the Sony 85mm f1.8 but going to stick to one 85mm for nowI prefer Sony 85mm/1.8 to zeiss batis
You have to factor the weight and size of the G Master too, the Tamron looks a lot lighter and smaller compared to the Sony 24-70mm f2.8 G Master.When you give up I’m lookjng for a 24-70 gm lol.
Seriously not sure now though whether the g master will be worth (probably) double the price of the new tamron, which is said to be designed from ground up for emount, as opposed to the sigma.
Shame it’s only 28mm at the wide end.

I guess it depends on the photographer, however you'd only notice the differences between compressed and uncompressed RAW files if you had to push into the upper limits of the bodies DR.I read A9 reviews by wedding photographers, who typically say something like 20 FPS is overkill, but sometimes it's handy for such and such scenario
I just read
"12 images per second at maximum when shooting uncompressed RAW."
So, common place a wedding photographer is probably shooting uncompressed RAW right, and couldn't achieve 20 FPS like this?
You can shoot at 20fps in uncompressed i believe but it goes down to 12bitI read A9 reviews by wedding photographers, who typically say something like 20 FPS is overkill, but sometimes it's handy for such and such scenario

- or does everyone shoot compressed?

I guess the price could big a big factor.... if its price at £1000, you could possibly pickup a G Master for a few hundred more used etc.

Size and weight aside, the 24-70mm f2.8 G Master is a pretty good lensThat's half the battle with the 24-105, £1200 but a used 24-70 is around £1400.

This A7 III stripe issue is becoming big news....

You have this lens Riz? Thoughts?
24-105 was in my amazon basket at £1064 until they changed the price
I do still miss the 24-70 f2.8 lens on the nikon though, that’s my dilemma!
It's a great lens David, easily an equal to any 24-70 I've used before....

Try rapid strap. That's my go toIn other news, I can heartily recommend the Peak Design Capture Clip... It's literally changed the way I shoot. Previously I either had my camera in hand, or in the bag - so ready to shoot, or a faff to shoot. With the clip, it's now hands free, but always ready to shoot (I haven't ever used a neck strap on my Sony).
Anyway, carry on with the techno babble - don't forget to put up some pictures
So which of these Sony cameras are best for sports? I know they have high FPS but can any of them go toe to toe with say the D500 for sports or is this something that will come in time?
I mean the trouble is I do tracking and follow my subjects through burst mode, which with an EVF may not be as easy?
