I guess not many people using this for landscapes (I usually use my A7rii for those) but often on the trail the A7rii is in the backpack not the camera bag and so I 'make do' with the A9
Annapurna South (7219m / 23,684 ft) at dawn (Annapurna is a massif in the Himalayas in north-central Nepal that includes one peak - the world's 10th highest - over 8,000 metres (26,000 ft), thirteen peaks over 7,000 metres (23,000 ft), and sixteen more over 6,000 metres (20,000 ft)). This time I just simply forgot to switch cameras, however it's a 4 shot pano and the DNG alone is 74MB so I didn't really need the A7rii
A9. Loxia 21mm. 4 shot panorama.
N.B. Annapurna I (one) has the greatest fatality rate of all the world's 14 eight-thousanders: as of March 2012, there have been 52 deaths during ascents, 191 successful ascents, and nine deaths upon descent. The ratio of 34 deaths per 100 safe returns on Annapurna I is followed by 29 for K2 and 21 for Nanga Parbat.
Another one from the Annapurna Base Camp trek. This one on about Day 5 on the way up. Just the most spectacular and awesome valley (bit avalanche prone though).
A9, CV 35/1.7, 6 shot pano. Deliberately drawn back the sharpness on this one by adding glow !

^Frogfish, I can't imagine going to some of the places you haunt! Me, envious!
haha ! You know a lot of these places are so cheap once you get there (Kyrgyzstan, Nepal, Myanmar etc.) that inc. return tickets they probably cost less than your average 2 week holiday in the USA ! And you would LOVE the birding. 12 types of Vultures/Eagles from the balcony of my US$15 B&B in Pokhara. Nepal.
A little bit higher than that shot, at around 4,000m (13,000 ft) I found a pair of Snow Pigeons
Had an awesome experience with a falconer in s.Carolina working his bierds. Light was crap that day but still to be able to get so close to these Harris Hawks was tingling to say the least. Here's one in the training process
I have been street shooting with A9. Small size, speed, robust autofocus, electronic shutter and full frame image quality makes A9 is probably the best street photography camera on this planet All pictures are with SEL35f28Z lens.
