The Panny 14-24 is on sale right now at BH for $700.

For wide zoom I would stretch to Pan S Pro 16-35 with the Pan 100 macro as your 50+, sorted

If you don’t need wide aperture, the Panasonic 20-60 is an extremely good deal and versatile range (and light and super cheap).

And for 50+ focal length, there are many options available: Leica 50mm (APO or ASPH), Sigma 50mm (f2, f1.4 and f1.2), Panasonic 50mm f1.8, sigma 65mm f2, Leica 75mm APO

and if you prefer manual and more compact lenses, there are many more options in M mount.

I agree about the 20-60 is so flexible and light, if you are  fine with the f-stop.

the leica/Sigma 2470 is also quite good formthe price, allthough I slightly prefer the 2490 for range and overall rendeing.

for a 50 I would recommend a 50 apo, its not just sharpness, but also color and bokeh and clarity.

you can find good used ones for interesting prices. I dont know how much better it is than a 50 non apo, becaused Ihave not checked those out.
