Yeah those little NG bags aren't bad, I was tempted but decided on a
thinktank restrospective 5 (http://goo.gl/X9dKS) for casual stuff nowadays.
*Just* tall enough for the 60-250 if I want to take it. I prefer it for
working out of over my urban disguise 40, and it sure beats carting the
Domke F2 everywhere. I often take the camera+55/1.4 loose anyway, and find
that the retrospective 5 gives me plenty of space to work out of.
I dunno if I'd call the Sigma 30/1.4 a small lens, though :)

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

In another forum, there was a discussion about what kit people take on
spontaneous photo walks. Several people mentioned how their primary camera
(Nikon D2x and the like) was too big and heavy got me thinking about how
my K-5 with the DA40 compares with what was my only SLR for decades, an
SRT-101 with a 58/1.4. Note that both set ups have about the same FOV. For
fun I threw a couple of primes on a K-1000 and an FE2.
Digital cameras aren't really all that much bigger than their film
counterparts after all:

My bathroom scale only has resolution of 100g/.2 lb, but on it, both
cameras came in at 1.8 pounds, so it hasn't gotten significantly heavier
either. When you compare the size and weight of half a dozen SD cards,
that'll each hold a few hundred frames, with a few rolls of film, all of a
sudden digital becomes very appealing.
