I use Tamrac Velocity 6x + a 'normal' rucksack as a 'cheap' way for now. The Tamrac is quite good, however I wish it was a bit more spacey inside (but not bigger outside).
Kind regards,

I find that one bag is not enough. which bag I take is dictated by where I'm going and what I'm going to shoot.

Lowepro Slingshot 200 All Weather(AW) to grab 'n go with just a couple of lenses.
Lowepro Fastpack 350 for longer around town/city trips. Larger than the Slingshot, but no AW cover. It has enough room for waterproofs, a sandwich or two and some water in the top.
Tamrac Expedition 7X for trekking round the mountains. This one facilitates taking a tripod too, the Lowepro's I have, don't.
I had a Lowepro Mini Trekker but it wasn't quite big enough for a tripod carrying backpack.

I don't like shoulder bags at all. Pentax are best at making cameras and lenses, not bags.

I have a Pentax bag -it came free with my Ds. It is not big enough for me, but my husband now uses it with the Ds. At least it doesn't have Pentax plastered all over it.
I use a Tamrac rucksack or a Lowepro shoulder bag, depending on how much stuff I need/want to carry.
The Tamrac will carry my tripod comfortably too.
I am looking into other bags as well at the moment, something less obviously a camera bag to replace the Lowepro, a Jill-E maybe, and maybe a ThinkTank bag for air travel.
