Re: "Nikon Z9 vs Sony A1 – The 10 main differences"
I feel like I can answer this. I do not have experience with long focal lenses or BIF but I do frequently use my 28, 58, and 104 f-mount lenses on a z6ii body. The f-mount glass is a hair slower than native z-mount, but I haven't found it to be limiting to my current style of photography which is mostly toddlers in flight and everyday life.
The z body has breathed new life into those three lenses and now I assume I'll hold onto them for many more years because they do work just fine with the FTZ. Maybe it helps that each was released not too long ago at 2013, 2016, and 2017.

That is my plan for the Z9. Buy it, try it. Then pass judgement once my new flame suit comes in the mail.
I grip all my cameras and only rarely find it nice to have the option to remove the grip. I can go either way but I have no issue with an integrated grip camera and for the most part prefer it as they are usually more compact then an external gripped camera of the same generation/brand. I just wish the Z9 was R3 weight...it is certainly a bit of a pig.
Are you planning on trying any Z lenses? I know you still have the PF hanging around, right?
Not at this time. Just the 500PF. I saved that lens just for this type of camera. If the Z9 is really good then I'll look for a big lens in Z mount when they finally make them. But seems like that will be a ways down the road.
The sensible thing to do would be just to forget about the Z9, sell off my 500PF and a few other remaining Nikon things and just forget about it all. But I'm overly curious to see how good it is. If my dealer can get me a Z9 during the first couple shipments I'm sure I can resell it with minimal loss as many people are going to have a long wait for it.
I haven't read much on adapting older Nikon DSLR glass, but what I had seen is that it was fraught with more gotchas than Canon's adaptation. Still, could be a stopgap for a supertele while waiting for a native Z to drop, if you really like the Z9 body.
