Great find..... 300 pages of A9 goodness

Is the 100-400mm internal zoom like the 200-600mm or does it extend?

People often say the 24-70mm f4 doesn't leave the 28-70mm kit lens far enough behind. They used to rave about the f4 on Luminous Landscape though.
Tamron 28-75mm f2.8?
I though the A9 can detect whether it a Human Eye or Animal Eye to detect rather than us switching between them??
If I was thinking of needing near 600mm I wouldn’t personally be looking at the 100-400 with the 1.4TC. It would be 560mm f8. Usually a lens won’t be as good with a teleconverter as a lens at the same focal length. If you need plus 400mm then the 200-600mm is the one to go with. If 400mm is enough and size/weight portability is helpful then the 100-400 is useful.Is the 100-400mm with 1.4x giving as good quality as the 200-600mm at the long end?
So the 200-600 is internal not extending?
You've mirrored my views exactly, my 100-400 kit + 1.4 TC fits neatly in a Hadley Large and I can include binoculars and even another body with a small lens!For anyone considering the 100-400 and 200-600 this review could be useful.

The 200-600 and 100-400 both perform quite well. I’d love to try a 200-600 one day but it’s size being closer the Nikon 200-400 f4 I previously had that puts me off. The size of the 100-400 suits me and the reason I’ve not swapped. The fact I can get the 100-400 with A7RIII attached inside a F Stop small shallow ICU always amazes me. I’ve not tried one but from the dimension specs I’d expect the 200-600 with A7RIII attached to maybe fit in the F Stop Large Pro ICU but it would be tight. It would definitely fit inside the F Stop XL Pro ICU ok. The size difference from a Large Pro or XL Pro ICU down to a Small Shallow ICU is huge for me. I often take the 100-400 out in F Stops smallest bag, the Guru UL instead of the much bigger Ajna or Tilopa bags.
Both are pretty pricey lenses, are there any ‘cheap’ options?For anyone considering the 100-400 and 200-600 this review could be useful.

Ta. I’m a bit surprised that Sigma or Tamron haven’t brought out a 100-400mm, they seem to be popular for the DSLRs.No.
Maybe sigma will bring out a 150-600mm.
You can get both the Sony lenses for £1550 grey
I appreciate that, but would be good to have a more budget friendly version.Don’t forget the 100-400 is a GM
Budget friendly would be an adapted lens. I’m surprised tampon/sigma haven’t bought out mirrorless versions for any brand. Canon and Nikon are in the same position regarding a mirrorless lens but of course you can adapted a DSLR lens.I appreciate that, but would be good to have a more budget friendly version.

I have a Sigma 150-600mm Sport in Canon mount (along with a few others), how do they work adapted compared to native?
Just reading through the manual looking at how eye AF works and it says you assign a button to activate eye AF (such as AF-ON) and you have to constantly hold this button whilst half pressing the shutter. Can you set the eye af button to toggle on/off rather than having to constantly keep it pressed?

I have eye AF assigned to the AF-ON but that’s because I most often use a single AF point rather than an area. Eye AF with automatically operated if an eye is picked up within the selected AF area, which in my case is pretty small being a single AF point. Assigning to the AF-ON just allows me to quickly activate eye AF across the whole frame. If I use a larger AF area option I wouldn’t need to assign eye AF to a button.Just reading through the manual looking at how eye AF works and it says you assign a button to activate eye AF (such as AF-ON) and you have to constantly hold this button whilst half pressing the shutter.

Cyber Monday Amazon offers.
Nothing too exciting, good price on the much maligned 28 f/2 tenner cheaper than e-infinity.

Adobe photography plan as sort of expected hasn't dropped in price and they have reduced the 12 month sub for Lightroom 1tb again only.
So if using single point AF you can't use that to focus and then activate eye AF, you have to have wide AF to use eye AF? In that case how do you select the face you want if there's a crowd of people?I have eye AF assigned to the AF-ON but that’s because I most often use a single AF point rather than an area.
