Using items from my own kit, I'd keep the 85/2 but swap the other 3 of
those last 4 for:

50/1.4
2x macro teleconverter
49mm screw-in collapsible rubber lens hood

The hood will fit both the 50/1.4 and 85/2 and shouldn't vignette with
either (mine don't) and the teleconverter gives you a 100/2.8 macro and 
and a 170/4 macro.  Oh, and the whole kit is lighter & more compact.

How do you keep the water out of the 4T?  is that what the zip lock bags
are for?
