Some different kind of BIF shots from yesterday with the A9, One of the reasons I bought the A9 is the 20 FPS that increases the probability of capturing the exact moment the two jets crossing. The weather was just horrible. But I was glad they still had a show. 90% of the airshows this year have been cancelled. This is the first one I went to this year. Normally I would have gone to 4 or 5 airshows by this time of the year.
Amazing shot! You know you guys and gals have to stop with these kind of shots since the 200-600 is not good for close up shots or macro!! Note sarcasm!

think it is pretty ok for close-ups and these are without tubes
And no crop on the last two but use Tc 1.4
Thanks

Was just shooting this log in the middle of the river for a test shot and didn't even notice what was on it until I reviewed the shot. Also, notice the crawdad hanging underneath, not sure if he's dead or alive.

Two from yesterday. Female Oriole (I believe!) hiding in the mulberry. Least Flycatcher out catching flies in the early evening. A9 + FE200-600 + 1.4TC.

Would I be crazy to give up my 70-200 GM for this lens? I don’t really shoot BIF but some outdoor sports/events and landscapes/nature. I have the 85 GM, 105 1.4, and soon the 135 GM so I think I’m mostly covered with fast lenses in the 70-200 range. I shoot with an A7III, and I haven’t seen many images, if any, with that body and this lens. I plan to get the Tamron 70-180 if I really need that zoom range.

This lens is all about reach, if you need it. Just to answer your question about the A7iii - I used that combination until about a month ago when I traded in the 7iii for the A9. I wanted the extra responsiveness, but I will say that if you blow images up to 100-200%, and you are shooting at >1000 iso to get the shutter speeds you need, then *on average* I do see a small advantage in total IQ for the A7iii over the 9. I can't speak to the 9ii. Of course there is variation from image to image with either system and perhaps that variation is bigger than the difference between systems, but I think I gave up a tiny bit of IQ going to the 9. Those a7iii pixels are pretty nearly perfect. Here is a white-crowned sparrow (no crop), taken with the A7iii w mechanical shutter on its fastest fps. In this shot the sparrow is crouched, ready to launch. In the very next image in the burst, the sparrow was completely out of the frame off to the left! I don't think the A9 will do better on the crouched bird, but it has a better chance of catching the launch.
