Indeed - you may even be like me - acquire a lot of lenses that you never use. The main purpose is to have them, just in case ...

I do have the 135/2.0, but tend to use the 85/1.8 a lot more
I do have a 70-200/4.0 IS, that I have not used much since getting the 100-400 II

I have a 70-200/4L IS, which I never use since buying a 70-300L, which I never use since buying a 100-400L II.

Which I now never use since buying a 100-500 🙂

I do have a 50/1.4 that I hardly ever use, just waiting for Canon to bring a decent replacement

The photography begats?
