This all depends on what you shoot, and your preferences. So I have 60mm, 105mm, 85mm TS and 200mm micro lenses. And I have 20mm and 28mm F1.8 primes. And a 300mm F4 AFS lens. They suit my needs. But these might be totally inappropriate for you. I find that lenses with ED elements have more snap, with richer colours. Maybe I’m totally deluded, hay ho.
However, getting a D500 implies a certain area of use for the camera. I wouldn't buy a D500 to shoot landscapes with wide angle lenses. (However, if you have decided on getting a D500 for sports or wildlife, there is nothing wrong with adding and ultrawide for the occasional landscape image.)
actually you'll shoot with what you have at the time as things present themselves. you just need to have the optics that fit the image.
