What is your ultimate lens lineup?

Pretty happy with my current bagful. I've got 12-500 covered with no gaps, with 24-200 covered with f/2.8 and from there on up, IS or OS, all FF compatible. Of course, if money was no object, the Sigmas would be (where possible) replaced with Nikkors but, this is the real world and [heresy]there is far more to life than just photography [/heresy]. Again, IMWNO, a couple of fast long primes would be nice, along with a porter to carry them but back in the real world, I'll have to live without a porter and keep popping the Nurofen Plus when the back starts playing up.
 
always amazed by the amount of kit some peeps on here have... at one point I felt that I had to have (bear minimum) 17-200mm covered at 2.8, dedicated macro, fast prime etc. but I have since gone back to basics and realised that I generally shoot pretty wide and do like my primes and therefor absolutely no point in having, for example, a 70-200mm 2.8 VR. My ideal line-up therefor would be:

Nikon 14-24mm (currently have the Tokina 12-24mm, nice balance between cost and quality)
Nikon 35mm f2 (already have this and by far my favourite lens)
Sigma or Nikon 50mm f1.4 (next on my shopping list)
Nikon 85mm 1.4 (already have the 1.8 and again, can't see this changing ever really)

Not too much to ask I don't think and apart from upgrading my UWA I am nearly there. Obviously this would all be sat on an FX nikon :)
