Throw in a T20 and T32, respectively, and you are set. 

Incidentially, my "low" kit contains 28/2.8, 50/1.4, 100/2.8 and 135/3.5 +
a T20 . Looking for a 200/5 to go with it. Actually, I do not really call
it my "low" kit, since there's nothing particulary "low" about it. I call
it my "49mm kit"...:) Sometimes, it is getting company from the 85/2 as
well.

No. You should add the 55/1.2 since that takes 55mm filters as well as the
24/2 and the 135/2.8 :) (that would, then, also start to approach my
prefered all-round kit btw., except that I replace the zoom with
something else..)
