In a rucksack, in an ever ready case so it doesn't get scratched by any of 
my other junk. My MX and pancake lens fit nicely in a waist pack/ bum bag.
Though I have to say, if I'm really travelling light (without a bag) then 
the olympus mu (stylus) goes in my jacket pocket.

I just looked and surprisingly, it isn't much bigger, it just looks it!
Lengthwise it's only about 3/8" bigger. It a bit fatter as the 24-90 has a 
67mm filter size as opposed to the 58 of the 28-105. I think it probably 
looks bigger because I tend to keep the tulip hood inverted on the lens.
The 28-105/3.2-4.5 is a perfect match for the ZX-5n (IMHO!)

I have each camera in a little neoprene sleeve from Zing, and each lens
has its own Zing pouch. That way I can put them in whatever bag I want
and they're protected. 

For shooting, I have an ordinary backpack that I stuff all my gear in.
When I get to a shoot, I can loop each lens pouch over my belt for easy
access.

I have a tote bag that I can sling over my shoulder and I carry my camera
and maybe an extra lens in there along with my wallet (or small purse),
keys, etc.  No problems so far.  It is inconspicuous insofar as no one would
guess there is a camera and lens in the bag.

Actually, Fairy-Girl hung around (actively) for about 9 months until her
husband lost his job and they had to move to another part of Australia.
Breaking her first camera was fairly early in her stay on PDML - several of
us facilitated replacements and she kept on. She had a thriving kids'
photography business going after a while. She has since had another child of
her own and hasn't gotten back to photography yet last i heard.

And don't forget Daphne - she is still around.
