Hmm.. a Nikon 50mm f1.8 D is super cheap and already sharp. The AF-S is not super expensive either. I'd add a Voigtlander 20mm for wide angle and a Tamron 70-200mm f2.8 and/or 180mm f3.5 Macro and I would have plenty of lenses offering possible high resolution. Maybe a 3Samyang 35mm f1,4 too.
Not too hard to make a nice little set of lenses for a sort of moderate budget...

That's sort of what I was thinking. The 24/2.8 is bit mediocre, but the 50/1.8G looks pretty darn good, as does the 85/1.8 and the Sigma 150/2.8 macro. I expect they'd do quite nicely, and for no more than the cost of a single pro zoom.
