For portrait work the 18-135 is in my opinion no where near the 56mm 1.2 or the 60mm f2.5 macro for great results wide open.
The primes 14, 16, 18, 35, 56 are there mainly so my fashion and beauty shots can be shot wide open with huge OOF background with fine bokeh.

The 18-135 and 50-140 will become my workhorse lenses as I frequently find the 18-55 too short for what I want. In my recent asian trip I was swapping the 18-55 and 55-200 all the time. This is where the 18-135 will be my standard travel lens with the 16mm for landscapes and the 55-200 for longer stuff. That will be my three lens travel pack with XT2 and XE2 or another XT2 if I get rid of the XT1.

The 14mm is my IR lens.
The 100-400 is my birding lens.
My 8mm is just a fun lens.

Remember I always use two cameras. ;-)
