Read this article. It may help. http://briansmith.com/where-are-the-nikon-af-lens-adapters/
But if you decide on trying an adapter I would recommend you contact Brian Smith first. He has been keeping a good watch on the development and as the first AF/AA adapters for Nikon lenses on Sony E mount cameras were a disaster more or less I would be careful and consult with those who have the most knowledge. You have too expensive camera and lenses to play with if the adapters are troublesome.

Brian Smith's website has a great deal of info on Sony adapters: http://briansmith.com/sony-a7-a7r-lens-mount-adapters/. I suggest reading his article. It sounds like there is only one manufacturer that makes an adapter that communicates reasonably well between the camera and the lens and allows you to use most of the camera's functions. This is the Commlite CM-ENF-E1 PRO V06 Lens Mount Adapter for Nikon F Lens to Sony E-mount which may be found on Ebay at https://www.ebay.com/itm/Commlite-CM-ENF-E1-PRO-V06-Lens-Mount-Adapter-for-Nikon-F-Lens-to-Sony-E-mount/201924172320?hash=item2f039e5a20:g:ZW8AAOSw3mpXGetC.

Here is a video testing this Commlite adapter that Mike Schwartz mentioned. The tester claims this to be the best option for adapting Nikon lenses to Sony but the test also shows the adapter to have some serious limitations. But the good thing is that maybe it can be made better with firmware updates. http://www.youtube.com/watch?time_continue=488&v=cYqovWVBk7U

And here is the adapter on the manufacturer website. Actually not much info about if it will work with your lenses, only one of them covered in the compatability list. http://www.commlite.com/product/8.html

I don't believe most of them can make use of the Auto Focus or the Vibration Reduction on the lens. I think one company, Commlite, does but it has iffy results according to what I've read. I have the FotodioX. I works well. You can use focus peaking for focusing and it work pretty well with my A6000. I still prefer using my Nikon cameras.
Also, It has been reported that some of the ones that control focus and VR have damaged the Sony cameras and they needed repair. I has been on documented on YouTube.

Commlite Adaptor. I have used both the Metabones and the Commlite adaptors for Canon EF to E mount. Both worked very well but I only use manual focus. Also I am not sure if the Nikon version has been released for sale. See this video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VZrPdkoeIX0
