If you want fish-eye: Canon D5mkII with the 15mm
or:

or if you want a real gun, go for:
http://www.mir.com.my/rb/photography/companies/nikon/nikkoresources/reflex/index.htm
I know I'll never live that long to have all of this.
Enjoy!
plus you can have 24mm Canon PC waay cheaper than Nikon and as good(?)
all thrown in an unobtrusive bag like ThinkTank Airport series, or LowePro small backpacs with the badge removed.
Don't forget 2 Gitzo carbon's and a Wimberly Gimbal head, and a RRS ball.
But if your last name ends with Trump or Rockefeller, go for Leica/Leitz.
Add the Land Rover of your choice to carry 'em all. Arghh, maybe a chauffeur would help, and me too, me too, me too...
Argh!!! don't forget, don't forget: a 24k,gold Rolex for your butler too (that's me)
Mnahh... he said "money no object"

28 1.4
85 1.4

What do I "need" next?
Well, my 200-400VR is seeming short fairly often on the D3's FX sensor. Would love to have a 500VR.
Also, I don't have a true 'macro. Thinking about that Zeiss 100....
The worst thing about having great equipment; I have no excuses for bad pictures!
A few from this weekend:
Jamestown California:
Nikon D3 ,Nikkor 200mm f/2G IF-ED AF-S VR
1/2500s f/2.5 at 200.0mm iso400
Nikon D3 ,Nikkor 200mm f/2G IF-ED AF-S VR
1/640s f/3.2 at 200.0mm iso400
And Elvis in a very poorly lit store.
Not a great picture, but I don't know what I would've done without ISO 3200 and f/1.4:
Nikon D3 ,Nikkor 85mm f/1.4D IF AF
1/100s f/1.4 at 85.0mm iso3200
Best Regards,

I'd add the 24 and 85mm tilt shift lenses to the above list. Also the macro light set.

I'd add a 28/1.4, 35/1.4, 58/1.2 and a 200/2VR
I'd love to have the kit most people mention, e.g. like RBFresno's
but you forget the Sigma 300-800!
And also support for all of these. Plus two caddies, for carrying it around.
Add a helicopter and a truck too, btw...
