I'm surprised there are not a lot more non-bird / wildlife shots here. Especially considering the low MP count and how the A9 is perfect for travel, portraits, street, sport, dogs and children ! I'll have to search for some because I love it so much I use it for *everything* that doesn't require a high MP count (e.g. landscape where I use my A7rii).
A few from a trip to the Great WAll when showing friends around China. Usually I'd use the A7rii but couldn't be bothered changing since I was taking a lot of shots of my friends with the A9 and 100-400.
Mogul, like I could tell one goose from another! Not!
But there was a funky blue'ish goose there, maybe even kinda black, but looked blue
in the morning light. Sadly it was always in a tight group and 1/4 mile away.

Both snow and ross have a blue phase...we just describe them as arctic geese.
a father's first moments with his new son. We were hoping for a natural birth, but she had to have an emergency C section, and it happened so fast, he didn't make it back to delivery.
I caught crabs on vacation! These little guys are only about 1 1/2" across the body. Was in deep shade so ISO is high, but pretty good result given the heavy crop and ISO 6400.

Been several years since I’ve shot HS basketball, but had to try the A9 and a couple Canon lenses which performed OK, but I really like the look of the ZA 55/1.8 over the GM 24-70. Next time I’ll try the Batis 85.
My problem with the 55 1.8 is the bokeh. There is very little separation of the foreground from the background, in large part because the background is nearly as high in contrast and intense in color as the foreground is, and the bokeh is hard edged with no smoothness.For the viewer, it draws the eye to the background as much as to the foreground and destroys the perception of depth.
I think that the 35 2.8 does the same. I think they are good lenses for size and sharpness, but that they work best in situations where you want everything to be in focus.
Awesome sports shots above. A genre I know nothing about.
Stellar work as always Arbitrage.
Ducks. I can identify two. Canadian Geese and this I (now) know to be a Wood duck. All I can say about ducks is that they are FAST. Eagles, Herons, Cranes all slow motion compared to ducks
