Here is a shot I made with my ole Sigma 25-105mm f4 in EF-mount with my Sony A7RII and MC-11 lens adapter, years ago in Edinburgh ,Scotland, as a wedding couple was serenaded by a bagpiper.

And that same combo, on same trip, a shot of Tobermory, the capital of the Isle of Mull , Scottish Hebrides Islands, of a double rainbow at low tide.

I sold the Sigma EF-mount 24-105mm f4 when I got the Sony 24-105mm f4 G OSS in E-mount.

I have the Sigma Art 24-70mm f2.8 DG DN for Sony E-mount and love it. This Sigma was released in December 2019. I got mine in January 2020. It is Sigma's best selling lens.

The Tamron 28-75mm f2.8 is also excellent, and was released in April 2018, before the Sigma, and gained immediate popularity among hobbyists and pros alike around the world for its image quality, versatility and affordable price.

The version II of that Tamron 28-75mm f2.8 lens is improved, and was released in Oct. 2021 but was delayed a bit due to covid. . And a Nikon Z-mount version was released in 2024.

The Sigma is only surpassed by zooms in this range in image quality (by a bit) by the newer Sony 24-70mm f2.8 GM II, released in April 2022.

For me the Sigma is 90% of the GM II image quality at half the price, so even though I have other GM lenses, I am keeping the superb Sigma.

A new Sigma Art 24-70mm f2.8 DG DN version two is going to be announced in May, to rival the Sony 24-70mm f2.8 GM II. It promises to be even better than the Sigma 24-70mm f2.8 version one.

New Sigma 24-70mm f/2.8 II will be announced in mid May!

Cheers and best to you.

I own a Sony a1 and a9, for my long lenses like the 200-600 I mount the vertical grip that helps to balance out the outfit. I also hand hold the lens just behind the lens hood, this too helps stabilize the lens.
You really should be able to hand hold the 105 macro without an issue, it is not heavy or big for a macro. I would not put a tripod foot on the macro, too cumbersome. I reverse the tripod foot on the 200-600 so it is easier to handle hand held.
I am 76 years young and have no issues hand holding my equipment, I also own the Sony 600 f4 and hand hold that without issue.
I find a tripod and monopod slow me down in wildlife photography. Below is an image taken of three Cattle Egret chicks and mom, hand held, at a 100 yards, with the 600mm f4.
I find my minimum shutter speed to be greater than 1/2500 sec. that way it helps hand holding and for birds in flight.
Good luck and keep on shooting until the end.
