Re: the original list of lenses, I only have experience with Nikkor 24-85 (though not on FF which wasn't available at the time - a decent lens on DX, though the screw driven AF was annoying). I tried a Tokina 80-400 and it isn't very good. It confounds me that people sometimes upgrade (or consider upgrading) to FF and expect to make due with average lenses while, I think, lenses are the first and (pretty much) foremost way to go for good IQ (unless one is using some ancient sensor camera of course).
Oh, and re: the Tokina 24-200 - a pal of mine had it (in Canon mount) and it didn't work on digital (hangs up camera) over some focal length. In any case it's a very old lens so cannot be recommended for modern FF digital.
