Recently, I sold almost all my gear (even my a6000 and a7II), so I can upgrade to an all Sony a9 gear setup. As much as I love my new setup, the a9 for me is my “work” camera.

It’s been a whirlwind of a weekend, jam packed with multiple shoots and getting to know my new camera. That’s right, I was able to get my hands on the new Sony a9, in fact two of them.

Sony was busy cranking out new cameras last year, updating all their a7 series mirrorless cameras. I currently own the a7II as my main camera, and I’ve had the privilege of reviewing the a7RII when it was released. Both are excellent cameras.
