ravinj is correct, 100-400 GM Sony is great landscape lens at distance, it's almost like a telescope when you open up your files. I had A7R4, now own A7R5, yes it's real good combo but you have to do distance landscape shots on tripod or car window-support to 'get it' and make prints.

Correct, some level of support helps, though IBIS + OIS in this combo is very effective. 

Michael Reichmann (now deceased) of Luminous-Landscape fame was instrumental in making me get out of the mindset that landscape means wide-angle. He published a great article years ago showing how longer focal lengths can result in stronger landscape pictures.
