Your histogram, you should push it more to the right but without clipping the highlights. You'll get a brighter and cleaner image.
Anyway I wouldn't shoot at iso 5000, even if I had a 7III.
My wife has a A 6500 + Sony 85mm f/1.8 and I have made some shots with it, when it arrived home. She also has a zoom but a "poor" one only for travel purposes, the Sony 18-135 f/3.5-5.6
She is as demanding as I am in image quality terms... but the weight is important to be kept low in certain circumstances.
I am going to send back the 100 GM. I asked if I could, and it's OK.
And what am I going to get instead ?
A Sony SEL FE Full Frame Sonnar T* 55mm f/1.8 ZA !
I think it is good for everyday and for travel with the Sony 24mm f/2.8 and the Sony 85mm f/1.8.
What annoy us both is the changing lens.
I have now two or three plastic bags inside my pouch to drop the camera and lenses in and make the lens swap both hands outside. Perhaps it is a good idea...
We had bad experiences changing lenses even taking all the usual cautions...
Any thought ? Thanks !
Nice trinity of lenses... I would stick with the primes, because I prefer them over zooms and generally, they do have better IQ. But the IQ of modern zooms, especially GM, is pretty darn good, though.

Yes Bob. Someone I know told me that the 70-200 GM was... a gem from wide to tele !
On the other hand I read that it is not that fantastic.
I prefer primes.
To this trinity I have added the 135 GM ! A great lens but as most of them, pretty heavy !

For zoom convenience: Tamron 28-75mm f/2.8 or Sony FE 24-105 f/4 (albeit slower).
Substitute prime for the 100mm STF: Sony FE 90mm macro. Only 10mm difference, brighter and more versatile.
I prefer primes as well, and I think a combo of 24, 35, 50, 85, 135mm will have you covered for nearly all travel situations. A fast ultra-wide of 16-20mm would be the last to round off the prime combo.
Yes, I think so, but the FE 2.8/24-70 GM seems to be excellent as zoom lenses go. It depends on the kind of photography you do and what you want to do with the results; making a print of 60x90 cm or using it to show family pics on instagram, and everything in between. I'm very fond of the primes I have but I also use the not very highly regarded FE 4/24-70.
It’s a fine image. If I make it as big as I can on my iPad it looks great. That’s very well controlled noise at iso 5000, and a touch of NR on the Raw file would make it go away with no real observable effect on the image.
Once again I like this portrait a lot because of the friendly expression of your model, framing isn't entirely to my taste. And the lens renders the background beautifully. Man, your people shots are awesome!
Thank you Ad for your comment !
I was so silly...
This was an error (the returning of the lens) I will have to correct some day if I survive Covid and get the vaccine !

I don't like changing lenses either but will have to get it down pat - the starting point is a body without a strap, a 3kg lens without strap but a hub to slot in a holster, and a TC that's too small to hold comfortably or to line up with the lens. Nowhere to put any of it down.
