I have a nice little National Geographic bag (http://goo.gl/j0gTG) (but with the branding removed). It enforces a useful discipline. I can take the 50-135 and *one* small lens. Or the DFA-100 and two small lenses. Or 3 small lenses, which is all I have (21mm/40mm limited, Sigma f1.4 30mm). Moving from K20 to K-5 made everything a little less strained. -T
