Well, isn´t it nice if you in street photography can actually see the - street :) More seriously, doesn´t the same reasoning apply to shadows in general?

No. I mean Top Gear.
Superb video production.

If I had the Boeing budget I could do that too :)

Nice enough though. I guess these guys studied Top Gear....

Too short registration distance to work an a D610, and no helicoid for focussing. Forget about it :)

OK, so I may have misread you. Yours is not my MO, but to each his own :) The way I use my camera high ISO means blocked shadows - not blown highlights. Funny enough, it often - far from always - ...

If you, as you raise the ISO, adjust exposure so as not to clip highlights -  that means reduced exposure, i.e. the sensor gets less light. What do you think happens to shadow noise with less light?

Sigh! Try reading "edhannon"s post again.

I agree that higher ISO setting doesn´t have to mean clipped highlights - you contol that with exposure. However, the DR will still be reduced due to excessive noise in the shadows.

AF-S lenses do not require in-body motors, however they need in-body aperture motor/lever. Bad enough ;)

Pentax LX (with its wonderful sports finder) could well defend its place here.

Too bad there are no DSLR:s with interchangeable finders.

Problem with intelligent people is they don´t always know what they´re talking about.

Yes, but the D810 doesn´t. Big deal!

Wow!
At last some news about the A9!

Samsung NX-1 came years ago, with specs in some ways better compared to the new Sony, together with (only) two excellent lenses. Still, they didn´t make it in the market. Why would Sony A9?

and sometimes even on my m4/3 with adapter :)

I had similar problems with my D810 when new; some of my lenses was beyond the scope of the adjustment range (except Tamron 150-600 which was spot on) For some reason I tried to set the camera to ...

I disagree. Exposure is the amount of light you let through to the sensor stack; how the sensor handles the exposure (filter, QE and so on) has nothing in itself to do with exposure.

It seems this is where the F-mount lens protocol comes up short. What else would be the reason Nikons LV is so far behind competition?

A square (36 mm) sensor wouldn´t work in a mirrorless either, due to the fact that many lenses have internal baffles to fight flare, designed for the current format .

My first camera was a Kodak Brownie which I "inherited" from my brother. It had cost 18 swedish Kronor, equivalent to ~$2. It used 127 roll film, just like my next camera - the wonderful baby...
