Thanks, Jon for checking back. I’ve been using the a7R iii along with the a9. I am fully buying the advantages of seeing the live exposure along with a live histogram. Making good adjustments on the fly surely enables us to make consistently better exposure. And with SONY, the Zebra feature adds an additional layer of exposure control for those who understand perfectly how to use it.

What I am not buying is that we can check the shadowed areas on a live bird while photographing it. I admit that that’s a fine point :).

Lastly, to agree with you again, SONY (at least) has a huge advantage over dSLRs with low light exposures. And it sounds as if the same is true of your system.

with love, a

I set the blinkies as mentioned previously at 5 and 250 but that is personal preference you can set them wherever you wish.
BTW talking about another world I just took a shot of a small butterfly at min focus with the 300mm & 1.4TC, at low light before dusk, hand held 1/60 sec, that is equivalent to 840mm hand held, I hear you .. won’t be sharp, but as I say it’s a whole new world, it is sharp no kidding.
