The lenses are solid performers, but there's not a single one which could serve as reason to switch or at least get a Z-body.
However, this is also a number game ...
Full format AF lenses:
* Sony: 72 (+16 non-AF with electronic coupling)
* Nikon: 10
* Canon: 12
* L-mount: 29
....
Btw., I counted 10 Canon lenses (currently at their website) and 13 Nikkors - of which 4 are not available - one can preorder them but I haven't found dealers with sort of reliable delivery dates.
Anyway, I care not much about numbers of lenses I could mount, I care about if the lenses I'd like to use are available. I had some hopes Nikon would deliver, and they would deliver faster. By the time they come up with a 100 mm-ish macro, a lot of owners will have bought a Laowa APO 100 - I assume that one only falls short if one likes to see EXIF, but optically it's super-hard to compete with.
