Virtual shopping

I want to see what lenses people consider important nescary and desirable...

So lets run a little game...
You have a d70 body and all associated tripod gear already...
You have $12,000 to be spent on lenses.. And the lenses can only be bought from http://www.maxwell.com.au at the "price Guide" price.

So what is your shopping list?

:)
My shopping list
Item Cost
AF-S 17-35MM F2.8D IF-ED LENS 3575
AF-S 70-200 F2.8G VR IFED(BLK) 4129
AF 50MM F1.4D LENS 745
AF 105MM F2.8D MICRO LENS 1789
AF 10.5 F2.8G DX IF-ED FISHEYE 1439
Total 11677

It was actually a very interesting exercise... I wanted to cover as much ground at f/2.8 as possible...

Of course the problem with my list is nothing beyond 200mm
