Do you have a lens that you always wanted (for whatever reason) but did not buy because it meant adding another mount/system, or it was too expensive?
I have had a few of those over the years. When Nikon introduced the 16-80/2.8-4.0 APSC zoom, it was way over my budget, but all the good reviews were tempting. I was happy with my 18-140 kit zoom.
Then there were a couple of fast Sigma zooms. Now the Lumix 10-25/1.7 and 25-50/1.7 zooms. They are both expensive and big for my comfort. I also like the Oly 12-100 and might but it one day.
One lens I am interested in, but not worth switching systems for, is the Sony 20-70mm/F4. I am also wary of adapting such an expensive lens to Z mount, because the performance on wide end might suffer. The lens corrections won't work either.
Another lens I wish Tamron made for Nikon Z mount is the 20-40/2.8 (may be a G2). Instead, Tamron made the 16-30/2.8 G2. This might be a good companion to my 28-75/2.8 G2, but I am not yet convinced because it will require changing lenses often, unless I have two bodies.
With ML cameras, we have the ability to adapt lot of old lenses. I tried both Canon and Nikon DSLR lenses on my M43 bodies but did not like the AF performance. I do it only with a couple of primes when needed, but not with zooms.
I think all mounts have standard lenses like a pair/trio of f/2.8 zooms, fast normal prime, portrait prime, telephoto macro, etc. I don't think anyone will miss those in any mount. Especially in the new ML mounts, all brands' lenses are very close in performance.
