Well I didnt think that I would want or get a Z9, but never say never.
Today I got a new Z9.

Got rid of all my old F mount cameras (D600, D700, D800, D850, D3S), 85mm f1.4 AFD, 400mm f2.8 AFS as I use them very little these days. Still needed a top up of £2k to get the Z9 but at least my inventory is reduced.

Kept my D500 and all my AFS lenses as they work with the FTZ adapter on my Z7 and Z9 as well as the Fujis with a Fringer adapter.

I hope you enjoy it Jonathan. I'd be interested to see what you think of it and Hope that FW4.0 has fixed all the issues.

I must get the Tower of London to count their Ravens.

Well done old chap. Looking forward to seeing some of your photos with the beast.

Congrats with that fab. Z9...heard a lot of good about it, but didna think that you would loose the D3s.

I think JK is in shock either at his new camera or hole in his bank account. :lol:

Not found any issues as yet.
I prefer the size of the Fuji XT5 but AF of the Z9 is very good. BIF are easy so much faster than my D500 or D850.
Still testing out features and I have other things I need to deal with outside of photography. It will be October before I can spend time doing a review but it is a very fine camera better than my D3s and smaller but not lighter!
