>>229213 Sigma 30 and 50/1.4 is pretty much it. Everything else is specialized, expensive superteles.
Rumor has it Nikon is coming out with its own line of AF-S primes, but they'll be expensive top-level professional gear. Get those two Sigmas and you'll be set for almost all situations. Only things that might come in handy are a slightly longer medium tele for a portrait lens (I *think* there is an AF-S Nikkor 60mm macro, now that I think of it, but don't quote me on it) and, say, some 24 or shorter for a wide, which should be possible to scale focus pretty easily. (If you do get a wide, get an old AI or AI-S lens, so it'll have proper distance markers.)
But even a 30mm alone will do you well for most everything. A 50mm on DX (or any 75mm equivalent lens) isn't the most versatile of medium teles, IMO, but when it's the right lens it's perfect. Example: for some reason, any sort of performance (concert, play, dance, speech, etc.) it seems perfect for, oddly enough no matter what distance you're at it pulls good shots.
On the other hand, a 30mm (or any other normal) is probably the most versatile lens possible, great at everything.
