Thanks Alan. I ended up at 450% funded on the Chroma so I'm definitely committed now!

I don't seem to be able to view the images, Flickr click through says private, and that other link requires a password?Holy cow, I used the A9 for an event last night .. and it was BEAUTIFUL...
Eye detection tracking so fast, silent so I could burst shots without raising an eyebrow.
I could get focus on my way to a new subject, then side step around until I had a better angle and be ready to take the photo at any time.
Image quality is great, love it all.

Thanks, great set. Nice detail, just not sure about the colours, but of course this could be down to the venue. What ISO were you using, and were you using flash for most?

Oooo so your getting the Sony A7 III?
Colours are something I'll need to work on, I quickly found a satisfactory look by adding some desaturated yellow to the highlights to help skin tones look warmer - there's room for improvement, but I was happy for this delivery.
I didn't use any flash (except for last group shot)
f1.4 1/250th
ISO averaged around 1000

Ahh that may explain it, I thought some of the skin tones look a bit too yellow but obviously that's deliberate and your taste
. I'm assuming the A9's are keepers then?

Yes indeed they are!

I keep eyeing up more lenses but I need to control Sony GAS for the time being.

I need more reach than 200 ideally for work in theatres

How're you finding the ergonomics and grip (especially compared to the D750 and EM1)? I've only tried the A7, A7ii, and A7RII and not been keen, but I believe the A7RIII and A9 have been improved.

A7RIII and crop?
I'm not at all jealous
I don't shoot with THIS camera held up to the eye, most of the time I hold it around chest height and use the flip screen - I'm comfortable doing this one handed even.
Can't do this so well in vertical position though because the screen doesn't go that way... so most shots are horizontal !
Ergonomics would not be a deciding factor for me with this camera, the performance would make it worth whatever arthritis it could have brought on
but it's really not that bad no thanks!

No idea - i have never used/looked at the windows on my Nikon so no deal breaker! The other Sony mount 70-200 2.8 has the window!

Yes 2.8 - will be using indoors so makes more sense!
50mm is my favourite focal length so makes sense to get that one! 28-70 seems a no brainer as its so cheap!
Go for the 28-70mm + 50mm option, you can always upgrade in the future.
I think I agree!

He is right it does not - but the mount for the other Sony series mount does.

To be fair, if the AF isn't on par with the D750/D500 it's going to come down to individual shoot requirements/demands, you may not even need D750/D500 levels of AF if your shooting static subjects all the time.
A lot of people go on about the amazing the AF abilities of the D750 are but they sometimes forget real-world differences and advantages of Sony Eye-AF and EVF's
Here's one for the Nikon DSLR owners...... and imagine that the AF on the Sony A7 III isn't quite as good as the AF in the D750.
Scenario: Portrait Shoot including Focusing on the Eye.
Nikon D750
AF on subject using shutter button / move the focus point onto the eye
Take photo
Review photo for correct exposure / depth of field
Sony A7 III
AF on subject using shutter + assigned Eye-AF button
Take photo
Is there a real need to review for correct exposure / depth of field as you had already seen this via EVF thus saving time.
So in this scenario which would actually be the quicker camera considering the AF on the D750 might be better?
