Wildlife photography is a hobby of patience and bit difficult to do handheld coz you need at least 600mm for better reach.
For better reach Sony has 600mm f4, 200-600mm f5.6-6.3, 400mm f4 and 100-400mm lenses but they are bit heavier and you need tripod for seamless videos.
For hide photography you have option to put it on tripod but in the wild if you carry tripod and set for photo, bird might be gone in fraction pf second so most time you have to do handheld and for it you have good biceps.
Since Nikon had introduced PF lenses most Sony users wants such type of prime lenses in low weight and Sony had listened them.

As per other website reading and videos on YouTube, i found the Pros
- Fast Autofocus
- Good Sharpness
- Compact
- Lightweight
- Dust/Moisture Resistance
- Just 263mm in Length
it has 24 elements which are arranged in 17groups.it has Four Focus Hold buttons and an one functional ring, which can be customized when we need to fine focus or more useful when we use DMF mode.GMaster lens has one Super ED (Extra Low Dispersion) Glass and one ED (Extra Low Dispersion) Glass.it has Sony's Two motor which has high thrust XD(Extreme Dynamic) which is capable of Full AF Speed for Fast, Precise Focus and Subject Tracking in wildlife with quiet.
This Lens can be worked with 1.4x & 2x teleconverters so with 1.4x it be as 840mm f9 and with 2x it be 1200mm f13 so for day light as well as low light 1.4x is good choice but with 2x it becomes f13 and might be slow.
So if we see the weight of lenses for wildlife photography than 600mm f4 is 3040gm, 200-600mm f5.6-6.3 is 2115gm, 400mm f4 is 2895gm and 100-400mm f5.6-8 is 1490gm
