Why do we always carry extra lenses

I just noticed that every time I head out with my camera, my bag is full of lenses I hardly use. Are we all just prepping for that one spontaneous shot of a unicorn in the wild? What’s the weirdest lens you’ve ever lugged around for a shoot?

I totally get it! I once carried a fisheye lens just in case I found a quirky scene to capture, but I barely touched it all day. Sometimes, it’s better to stick to one or two versatile lenses that fit your usual shots.
