Pretzel logic

I'm seeing funny and absurd comments with all the frenzy around the A9.

This thread is pretty bizarre too in places.

On the one hand we have people saying there's no way a pro would ever consider using a tiny sensor like 4/3 because it is noisy and has no DOF control. So don't even try to compare the E-M1 II to the A9.

And then on the other hand we have people trying to justify the Sony lens lineup by saying that it's fine that the only super telephoto is a 400mm f5.6, because FF high ISO is so good.

So let me get this straight, 2 stops is super important at the sensor, but irrelevant in the lenses? Makes me laugh to think of geniuses out there using f5.6 lenses on a $4500 camera at ISO 6400-12800 because 4/3 with a 40-150 f2.8 is somehow lesser grade.

Sony do seem to be lacking in luminous long lenses for this particular camera aimed at sports and action photographers.

If you need a FF camera for action then Nikon and Canon are still a better bet for lens choice and post sales backup.

I see the usual pretzel logic of equivalence has raised its ugly head after a welcome absence from this forum.

The "professors" need to get out and actually do some photography if they are capable; just to realise how irrelevant all that equivalence codswallop is to actual photography.
