New Sony A9 tests (shoots Premier League game)

Share

Sports Photographer Hugh Hastings tested the Sony A9 on a Premier League game:

The feature set is outstanding, not just a whole lot lighter, but more useful too, such as the silent shutter that I was able to use in the press conference. Now I can’t wait to try the longer prime lenses and also the camera grip, I shot all these images without a grip as the new battery grip had yet to ship, which is pretty amazing from a handling point-of-view. So, I think it’s absolutely fair to say that the A9 is the start of a whole new ball game for sports photographers, action and wildlife shooters, right here, right now.”

A9 Memory Card Test by Cameramemoryspeed.

Dmitry:I tested Sony A9 with 8 Canon EF Mount lenses and both Sigma MC11 and Metabones IV adapter.   Some of the lenses are tested are obscure, like Canon 85L Version 1 for example, so maybe interesting for someone.
I am not a professional reviewer, just someone who loves the gear.   Conclusion is that neither adapter works that great with A9, both Metabones and Sigma need to make firmware updates for A9.
