I'm a big fan of native lenses. I don't like adapters and I don't like third-party lenses. My theory is that the camera manufacturers specifically design and offer lenses that will work particularly well with the camera bodies of that same company, and I just trust this more than I do sticking on something that has been reverse-engineered.

I'm joining in on the discussion because the various options in focal lengths and such interest me, although I'm not shooting Nikon now. I have the Sony 100-400mm and its range is f/4.5-5.6; it's an excellent lens, great and versatile range for walking around if one is hoping to snag a few shots of local wildlife.
I'm still mulling over how I want to approach the wider end of the spectrum, since as of right now my widest lens is 24mm, and that is on the RX10, which is a "bridge" / "superzoom" camera. My actual interchangeable widest lens (for the A7R IV) is the 35mm f/1.8. I'm torn between going a bit wider with that second combo mentioned, the 14-30 and 24-105 along with the 100-400mm, or going with the excellent 16mm-35mm f/2.8, which would take me to 35mm without any gaps. I have 50mm, 85mm, 90mm and 135mm primes. I tend to shoot mostly at the longer end of everything, but there ARE times when a wide lens really is needed.
