You can buy a long lens or a wide lens, but honestly, we have those and it's just easier to leave the kit on. It's plenty wide and long.
sigma and tokina (IIRC) both make sony E mount long zooms, 18-250 or some such. I should add that the NEX body has the same size sensor as the Nikon D-3xxx, 5xxx. the 4/3 has a smaller sensor.
