What camera bag are you using with your K10D?

My standard bag is the Lowepro Slingshot 200. It will hold all of your current gear but it may be a little crowded adding three more lenses. What I like about the Slingshot is that it is nearly as comfortable to carry as a backpack, but your camera can be easily accessed, nearly as easily as a shoulder bag.

I also have a Slingshot 300 for use when carrying my Sigma APO 100-300mm f/4 EX DG (which is 8" long and weighs 3 lbs). The 300 can easily handle this (plus camera, other lenses, etc.) whereas the 200 is overloaded with this much weight. The 300 is more comfortable to carry because it has a full waist belt. It will definitely carry all of your anticipated future purchases. But it is pretty bulky (nearly the size of a full backpack). It's probably overkill for your needs.

I also have some smaller Lowepro shoulder bags for traveling light.

Crumpler makes some nice bags, especially their shoulder bags. If you prefer this style you might check them out. I tested a Crumpler 7 Million with a full load of gear and it was more comfortable and convenient than most other shoulder bags. You might also look at the Lowepro "Reporter" professional series and the Domke shoulder bags.

Whatever you decide, be sure to test out the bag in the store with all of your gear in the bag to see if it is comfortable and convenient for you. Spend a good half-hour walking around the store. You might be surprised when a bag that feels good for the first 5 minutes starts to hurt your shoulder or back after 20 minutes.
