Check to see that you didn't accidentally disable it. Menu -> Gear Icon -> D1 -> Release Symbol/Timer Symbol Settings Just hit the little hand with a square box again and it will turn into a hand ...

It's even worse than that, just a hair under 1/4 EV difference in transmission. Basically no advantage in terms of low light performance and, possibly, a significant disadvantage if you end up ...

Yeah, I'd call those acceptably sharp. =)

Oh please, he was clearly talking about the aperture ratio, not the physical diameter of the aperture.  The aperture ratio of the 50 1.4 + Metabones XL does in fact open up to a faster aperture ...

It seems like your iPad only saved the thumbnail previews or a smaller version as these are definitely not LSF jpgs.  That aside, they all look pretty good to me.

Are these 100% crops?  These all seem fine but if these are full shots it's kind of hard to tell how sharp the lens is from a 3MP image.

Case in point.

"Most cameras' CDAF systems still show some error/tolerance in focus shot to shot. This is not unique to the A9."

Thank you for saying this. There's some serious misunderstanding of how CDAF...

You guys should take another look at the E-M1ii results as well. The studio shot has the E-M1ii being noticeably softer than the GH5 and Pen-F.

It's a monitor with a high frequency strobe.

Just curious, is there a reason you use the DTC rather than the magnify function to check focus?

As the other posted pointed out, the switch does indeed occur at ISO 8000. ISO 8000 ISO 6400

I'll post pictures later but it looks like the E-M1ii does the something similar except the change occurs between ISO 6400-12800.

Min price is going to be a lot higher than $4000; don't forget that Olympus charged $7000 for a 300 2.8 prime lens.  The lens you're talking about would probably end up in the $10K range at a minimum.

You're both assigning a level of precision to f-numbers that doesn't really exist.  Think of it more as f/5.6-ish, f/11-ish.

The first copy I bought was much slower than my 1000x 128GB cards, it was the latest REV B version bought from B&H.  The second copy seems up to snuff but I haven't seen anything like what you're ...

I mostly agree with this, but certain lenses can generate bokeh that even non-photographers notice. Case in point: In a portrait scenario you could usually vary the environment to avoid such a ...

In your scenario I'd probably switch out the 70-200 2.8 for a 70-200 F/4 IS as the ergonomics of that lens on the 6D would be better than the 40-150 on the E-M5II.

Ok, if it's the newer revision then there shouldn't be any issues.  Curious, how long did it take for the camera to cool down after shutting down on you?

Do you know which revision it is?  I believe it was the earlier revision of that card that had been reported to cause overheating.  I can't find the thread at the moment but I use the Lexar 64 GB ...
