I use adapted lenses for some special purposes, but I am not a fan of that approach for general use.
(One exception might be for my EF 16-35mm f/4, a great lens but one that, while necessary, I don’t use a whole lot. Related: I currently sometimes use a Pentax MF zoom lens on a Mirex TS adapter with the 5DsR… and I’m contemplating the Frankenstein monster setup that might let me use it on the Sony…)

There are many lenses that Canon has/had that don't exist in Sony, less so in Nikon.
If you don't need the best AF get an MC-11 so that you can use some of the EF lenses to begin with.
