You need more bodies and more zuikos. 35-80/2.8 if you don't
have one yet. An extra body with the 24/2.8 attached is small.
Or one body with 24, another with 85/2, and another with 135.
The 135/3.5 is a bit soft, so you need to upgrade to the 2.8.
and the 180/2.8 is nice too....as is the 100/2....

The fast lenses in low light is for focusing accurately. The main
reason I rarely use the 35-70/3.5-4.5. It has to be a bright day
for that lens.
