Traditionally, a photographer's holy trinity would consist of the fast f2.8 wide angle, standard, and telephoto zoom lenses, while covering all the focal lengths from wide to telephoto. But mines is a little different especially as a landscape photographer. Thank you for experiencing the world with me and feel free to rate, comment, and subscribe for more content.

My holy trinity is the 18mm f1.8, S Pro 24-70mm f2.8, and the S Pro 70-200mm f2.8
My trinity are all third party, the Sigma 20mm f/1.4, Tamron 35-150mm f/2-2.8, and the 200mm f/2 VR
I would love a 24-70mm f/2.8 - it has such a nice look, probably the microcontrast as you mentioned...I'm broke, so my whole kit is just a Z6 with 24-120mm, Viltrox 40mm, Viltrox 85mm and Nikon AFS 50mm f/1.8 (very underrated). The 24-120mm is incredibly versatile - I shot a wedding with just that recently, it would have been hard with just a 24-70. I've also got a vintage 105mm Nikkor, but I don't use it much now I've got the Viltrox 85mm with AF
With my Nikon ZF I have radically changed my approach to lenses . So, my go to lens for 80% of my shooting is ‘Nikon 24-120 F4 S . for landscape I have a manual focus 15mm F4 7Artisans and for telephoto I use with ftz adaptor Nikon AF-S 200-500 mm F5.6-6.3 (also have 35mm viltrox f1.8 AF, 85mm Meike f 1.4 AF for when I need more bokeh / portrait /party and finally a 45mm f0.95 Laowa Argus for those specialist arty / low light occasions )
My usual combination is the 28-400 combined with the 14-30 f4. If I am not weight-constrained and shooting indoors, I try to use the 20, 50, or 85 f1.8primes or the 70-200f2.8.
My holy trinity changes, but it always has a wide angle zoom, a general purpose zoom, and a prime. When I used the EF mount, my HT was the 16-35mm F2.8 L, the 24-105mm F4 L, and the the 70-200mm F2.8 L. When I switched to the F mount, my HT used to be the 28-300mm F 3.5-5.6, the 17-35mm F2.8, and the 56mm F1.4. Now on the Z mount, my trinity still includes the 17-35mm F2.8, the Z 24-120mm F4, and the 100mm F2.8 MC. And while I am amazed by the IQ of the 24-120m I find myself gravitating towards the 28-400mm F4-8 just for that outstanding focal range even at the expense of IQ just for the convenience, especially when traveling.
My current Nikon Holy Trinity for landscape photography: 14-30 F4 S, 24-120 F4 S, 100-400 F4.5/5.6 VR S. Eventually I plan to upgrade the 14-30 F4 to the 14-24 2.8. 😁
I use the same 3 lenses and I wouldn´t change it (and 3 Voigtländer primes).
The 14-30 produces beautiful lightstars - the 12-24 not!! Important for long exp nighttime shots. Also I love the rendering of the 14-30 better than the 12-24 or the 17-28.
My nikon landscape trinity is the 17-28 f2.8, 24-70 f4 S, and the Tameron 100-400 with the FTZ adapter. I would love to trade up to the Nikon 100-400 S but it's so expensive.
Budget trinity
What lens would you suggest for Astro, that’s not so expensive? A sigma, maybe? I also shoot w/ a Z6iii
Viltrox AF 16mm f1.8 should be a great budget option.

My HOLY TRINITY as a landscape photographer:
14-30mm f4
24-120mm f4 also okay for portr.
100-400mm f4.5-5.6 VR
The 28-400mm is a really bad lens!!!!
Very poor colors and contrast, lots of CA, not very sharp - and lens creep right from the start, not after one or two years.
The 24-200mm is much better, also not perfect but much better.
I find it odd when people refer to the holy trinity as only those three 2.8s. Like you can’t divert from that or something.
On DX my trinity was the 12-24/4, 17-55/2.8, and 70-200/4. Now on FX, it’s the 18-35/3.5-4.5, 24-120/4, and the third option I am still debating. Either the 70-300/4.5-5.6, or the Tamron 100-400/4.5-6.3.
The issue with a long lens on FX is, it becomes so big and heavy. I travel with my gear so I’m not always happy with the compromise. Sometimes I think, DX with a 70-300 is not bad either.
