Rover, the 135/1.8 Art really deserves to be mentioned in your list 
Outstanding and a bit less bulky than the 85/1.4 Art. As well the 12-24/4 Art which is directly competing to Nikon's 14-24. For less money less flares...
Depending on Klaus' range of "past years", the Zeiss Otii should also be mentioned.
I'd rather say, there have been so many outstanding lenses from nearly all manufacturers - some more, some only more money for not much more - that these Nikon lenses simply fail to impress.
