The 18-70 DX is, arguably, one of the best lenses you have in that mix.
Aside from the "F" camera, that'd cover everything there. The primes can cover the "F" camera if you ever decided to use it.
18-70 DX
50 f/1.8
85 f/1.8
If I were you, as a consumer or enthusiast, I'd look at expanding the system in this way (selling off the others).
Nikon 18-200 DX (it's an excellent lens, but the 18-70 is a bit better..but this gets you to 200mm in one lens... great travel and walkaround lens).
If you don't like that option, the 70-300 VR is there. Good to around 250mm IMO it's a nice tele to have.
Later, add a 300 f/4 somewhere in your kit (old or new version).
As a consumer, my DX body kit would be.
18-70 DX or 16-85 DX
18-200 DX
300 f/4 AF-S
Don't place so much value in VR. Sometimes it's valuable... other times it's not IMO.
Just my 2 cents...
Happy New Year!
