I have the 24-105 and love it. If I wanted more reach with great quality I would seriously consider the Sony 200-600mm lens.
I have noticed that many photogs just say "Oregon Coast." However, the Oregon coast has many different unique distinct areas. As for this image, unless you know the features of these different areas, it may confuse people as to what is where on the Oregon coast. As stated above, this image looks like it from the southern Oregon coast, Port Orford, Gold Beach, Brookings. I another photog was planning a trip to get similar images of the Oregon coast and they planned to go to Astoria, Fort Stevens area, they would not see this type of rocks or any rocks unless they go to Cannon Beach-Ecola State Park. After all, there is only 363 miles of Oregon coast.
I have the RX100m2 because it has a hot-shoe. I can attach a flash. That is why I have stayed with the m2. I also mounted the filter adapter on it and a step-up ting to use a CPL on it
The C.O. Pro Sony is the full program only with Sony Cameras loaded into its ability to process images. I use C.O. Pro Sony and have no complaints. Remember it is a RAW converter program and may not have all the creative options as in PS, but there are other programs (use as a plugin or not) that can be used for those creative effects. I also use Zoner Photo Studio. There are good training videos on YouTube.
Watch seasons 5 and 6 to get a more current perspective.
I have the multi-aperture pinhole lens and it is fun to use.

Sony makes a 1.4X and a 2x teleconverter. Neither is compatible with your lenses. They are intended for their FE long zooms such as the 100-400
And the GM 70-200 f2.8 and the G 200-600.
At this point in photography, we will always have "phonees".
If you were to study the history of photography, you see that all images since the beginning of photography (camera obscura) have been manipulated with post-processing.
As a member of Sony Imaging Pro Support, I have had only excellent service through sony to Precision Camera. However, there are certain Sony equipment requirements. The price I pay annually is less than I would pay anywhere for three cleanings a year. Free overnight shipping to and from is also a good thing with this membership.
Yes, you can use E lenses on FF. With my A7Rii with an E mount lens, I get 18mb of information instead of 41mb size RAW file. If I use uncompressed RAW menu setting with the crop lens I get 36mb instead of 81mb. Picture quality is the same with all combinations.
I suspect a couple of things going on. I owned an A77ii and I would suggest keeping long exposure noise reduction off. Use the bulb setting with a remote lease (wired works better).
