Haha... I'm a Canon user but I guess my approach would be different from yours even if I had shot Nikon. I was/am usually of a view that if one has the money to buy a pricey FF camera (and they tend to be pricey), there's no way around going for matching top of the line glass, unless you risk wasting the potential (though there surely are exceptions). Maybe I'm wrong - I'm not using FF anyway.

P. S. Just today I saw a guy on the same shoot sporting a 5D Mark III with bronze age 24/2.8 and 35/2 lenses (non-IS ones) so maybe this was your spiritual kin from the Canon side.

YMMV.
