I spent a few days with the Sony a7R VI and FE 100-400mm F4.5 G Master lens to see if this combo really lives up to the hype.

We tested it across street photography, night scenes, wildlife, and portraits to show you exactly what you're getting. No studio setups, just real shooting in different light and conditions. You'll see the autofocus in action, how it handles low light, sharpness at distance, and whether this setup is actually worth the investment.
