Thanks so much for the shots, Kirk. Great to know that I did not make a mistake either. Yet to put my A9 through its paces, been too busy here with a wedding. However, the silent shooting at more than single frame/s is absolutely fantastic. Can't do that with the A7RII.
Will hopefully get some testing done later this week when I get back home. I did order the 100-400 lens but there is no ETA on it yet. I plan to take the Canon version with me on my trip to Namibia.
From your images, it seems that the Sony 70-300 is sharper on the A9 than the A7RII and almost as good if not better than the adapted 80-300 from Nikon. How did the AF go with the Nikon lens? hHat is the one thing that worries me, speed of AF using third party lenses via adapters. On the A7RII it is quite slow esp at the long end.
Many thanks Pradeep. You must be confusing me with someone else. I am not Kirk or Karl. I am Karl-Heinz in short K-H.
Now to your points:
• I agree with you on the silent shutter. Absolutely fantastic indeed! The blinking focus square indicates a shot is taken. Pretty slick.
• A faster more accurate focusing should have its advantages. Your observation might be spot on. :thumbup:
• I consider the Commlite adapter to be of alpha testing nature. As slow on A9 as on A7r.2. One can't depend on that.
• Also one can micro adjust adapted lenses. I didn't do that on Sony cameras.
