I've got a few Pentax branded bags that I have bought cheaply along the way.
This one: http://cgi.ebay.com.au/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=270225817282&ssPageNam e=ADME:B:EOIBSA:AU:1123 is just the right size for an LX plus 24,30,35,50,85 and 135 lenses plus a few rolls of film and a couple of filters. The strap is long enough that I can wear it across my body and swing it around behind my back. It was so useful that I bought a second one for the *ist-D. That one will have the DA18-55 (or FA24-90), FA24, F50/1.4 and either the 77 LTD or F100/2.8 macro plus spare batteries, cards, filters etc. It truly seems to be "just right" for the 35mm and digital gear. BTW, the lenses are protected with cut down stubby holders which are just the right diameter for most of the M series primes. On the other hand there is this one: http://cgi.ebay.com.au/PENTAX-CAMERA-BAG_W0QQitemZ120246482297QQihZ002QQcate goryZ50504QQssPageNameZWDVWQQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem It is a bit larger and is a good fit for my 67 gear. I can manage one body with 105 plus 55, 75, 165 and 1&2 tubes along with a few filters and film. This is a lot heavier, but still within reason. I find backpacks annoying as my back stays too warm and in any sort of heat gets sweaty and uncomfortable very quickly. I've got a rolling backpack which was useful in some situations but was useless when traveling on buses or trains and I had to hold it vertically on my knees. The rollers and stops dig into your legs to a quite painful degree.
