On dpreview you can read that the Sony a9 Mark I will stay on the market after the launch of the Mark II.
If the Mark I continues to fall in price, it will also become more interesting for other buyer groups.

Re: New Sony a9 Mark IIReply #1 on: February 5, 2020 at 12:05 amThe a9II is certainly a very effective camera. Eye-AF in tracking mode works great!
The only thing missing really is exciting lenses. I like the 135mm f1.8 GM. The results are technically excellent, the bokeh is not unpleasing, but it lacks some sort of excitement. Not sure what exactly. I just don’t see what I used to see with my Zeiss lenses or with the Nikon Z glass. Images that just pop in 3D on you screen when you open the files in C1 Pro.
It still is a very effective combo for events and corporate work. No complains.
For those using the Sony system what glass would you recommend that compares favorably with Zeiss Otus standards?
Cheers,

I use all G-Master lens and I really find them to be excellent. The 86mm G-Master is really nice for portraits etc.

I really like the Batis 135 on Sony a7/9 cameras. The balance is great. My 135 Apo-Sonnar is gathering dust.
The CV 65/2 is a great lens, and so is the Sigma 35/1.2 Art.
