I'm having much the same experience with my new A7R5. I use the 200-600 for distance and compression in my landscapes, but also the marvelous Tamron 35-150 f2.0/2.8, what an amazing piece of glass. Handholding on this camera is a piece of cake. I don't bother with a tripod. I'm up in Southern Idaho so no shortage of amazing stuff to shoot.
