Sigma 100-400 for Sony E-mount: is it good for Wildlife Photography?

This time I test out if the Sigma 100-400 for Sony E-mount is good for wildlife photography. I was especially curious if the quality is good enough, considering this lens is so much cheaper then the Sony G-Master. I am in the Amsterdam Water Supply Dunes again with my son Thijs. Here we got to see the Fallow deer rut, and we got a truly amazing encounter with a Red fox...

0:00 This is not a lab test, but my honest opinion but experiences using it in the field.
0:33 A lens that would fit between current line-up (70-200 & 200-600). And has an attractive price.
4:29 Is it a good walk-around lens.
5:55 No teleconverters for this lens!!
8:57 Why no lens collar Sigma?!? And why is your optional collar so expensive. And my cheap solution.
14:07 How is the quality of the photos? Sharpness, colors, etc.
14:40 My overall opinion on this lens.
