Andre made the right comment the wrong way - the net is that those three lenses cover a huge amount of the focal range and are terrific zooms, but it was a bit of a puerile question. Ultimately, a good kit is a set of lenses that cover the needs of the shooter. That might or might not be the three lenses Oldrattler asked about.
I am not sure I should thank you or be offended by the term \"puerile\"... Oh well, I have been called worse... But is it immature / childish to ask a question of those possessing knowledge, or immature to continue wondering?? I was taught there are no stupid questions ( if knowledge is being sought) only stupid answers...
If you knew the term \"Nikon Holy Trinity\" you already knew the answer. Of course, you could have tried this link, too...
If you didn\'t know, you unwittingly asked a question that is pretty close to Nikon-equivalent of \"What shape is a cloud?\" - the perfect trinity of lenses is going to have a lot more to do with what kind of shooter you are, what your budget is and what your needs are than three generic pro zooms. Hard to go wrong with those three though, unless weight is an issue (which we found out later isn\'t a problem for you )
On the body side, I\'d say it has as much to do with your PP preferences as anything. For absolute detail, my understanding is that the D800e is the way to go.
Will is a terrific resource - for information, advice and always a...unique...perspective.
