I admire that. I use to have that mentality, but the stuff I shoot, I'd show up and have very little time to plan shots so I'd start shooting and decide I needed a different lens and after a couple changes I'd find my subject were losing patients and faith. So now the only prime I own is the 50 1.4. if business picks up I'm going to get the 35 1.4.
There is a COLOSSAL difference between 2.8 and 1.4... ie two full stops, which can make the difference between a picture blurred from subject motion or not pretty easily.
Planning ahead helps a lot, but I've never had a problem with subjects losing patience. In fact, I find myself purposefully going slow as I change lenses because it takes the attention off me for a while so I can think about how I'm going to approach the next shot.
I can see that

I can see that working. I unfortunately photograph the rich and snooty business tycoons in the area and they always act like I'm keeping them from making their next million. It is nice when I get to shoot someone that gets it.
