So use insect repellent at all times! 
j/k
Well, I've bought many lenses and sometimes I'm thinking I have too many but all of those I have now have their use, I'm not "collecting" stuff. Being the nerd I am, I'm sometimes digging the process of making "sets" of gear, the most infamous of which are the "gentleman's lesser kit" (16-35 + 100-400) and the "night crawler's kit" (24/1.4 + 45/1.8 + 85/1.8). Overall, even the lowly 24-85/3.5-4.5 gets some mileage, at least proportionate to the comparatively lesser amount of shooting I've been doing lately.
FWIW the 85/1.8 is the latest acquisition, bought sometime in Nov. 2020, and I would not backpedal on the decision to purchase it. Mighty fun and sometimes it can substitute for a heavier (white) tele whenever I'm feeling too lazy and/or feeble to drag that along.
