It doesn't have to be all primes, say you have a wide angle zoom instead of a prime.

Here is mine.

15mm 1.7

Originally my trinity used to consist of Panasonic 14mm and the 20mm. Both of these lenses worked very well together and very often traveled together. The 15mm 1.7 captured a lot of their strengths and you could say the 15mm is the love child of the 14mm and the 25mm.

25mm 1.4

Now the 20mm is only used for indoor shots for rare occasions, I have space in my pocket/bag for additionial lens and the 25mm 1.4 get my use for it speed and it completely different focal length.

45mm 2.8

Part macro, part portrait lens. Another lens from the Pana/Lecia featuring the duo personality disorder. I could of gone for the Olympus but I wanted the Macro as an extra instead of speed/macro. Even when the new 42mm 1.7 comes out, I most likely ignore it.

Mine is exactly this, but instead of the 45/2.8 macro it would be the new 42.5/1.7. Pair it with the Olympus MCON-P02 focal reducer, and I bet you'll have a seriously capable macro lens on your hands. That's my plan anyways.
