What's the point in the thread? Is it to tell us that you're buying $8000 worth of equipment or what?

BanZai, I don't know you & you don't know me, but do you really need an FX camera +

AF-S NIKKOR 70-200mm f/2.8G ED VR II
AF-S NIKKOR 50mm f/1.8G
Sigma 50-500mm F4.5-6.3 APO DG OS HSM
AF-S NIKKOR 16-35mm f/4G ED VR
AF-S NIKKOR 24-120mm f/4G ED

1. Why are you not even considering a 12-24 + 24-70 + 70-200? There's not even a 50mm F/1.4...

Why do you need FX? A D7000 will probably fit your purpose...

You have many overlapping lens as well. Getting a flash?

Ah, see, you didn't say that

Yeah I know what lens Nikon & Canon make, I said that in your OP, you did not mention any primes at all.

In the end, if you think you can justify it, why not?
