Sony NEX what's in your bag?

I take one lens per day for testing out. Today it is the Hassey 50mm f4 from 1950s I think. Got a flash (not used) as well as nikon kenko 12mm ring (which was used).
 
Depends.. Most of the time I wouldn't even call it a bag. There's just the NEX+16mm in my coat pocket. Multiple lens outfit is the NEX+16+35/2.5Skopar. That's a nice combination of focal lengths, and I'm finding anything over 35 increasingly difficult to handhold still when the light's not bright. Haven't used the flash besides for some test pictures so far, so it's a stay at home thing mostly.
 
I use various setups:

1) MS Optical Perar 35/3.5 in coat pocket
2) Contax G 35/2 in larger coat pocket or in my daily computer bag
3) Sony 16, Perar 35/3.5, Skopar 50/2.5 in small bag
4) Sony 16, Contax G 35/2, and either Nokton 50/1.5, SMC Takumar 50/1.4, or Contax G 90/2.8 in a slightly larger bag (occasionally I'll bring one of the 50s and the 90 together for my "big" setup.)

Honestly, though, the Contax G 35 stays on my camera most of the time.
 
I've found that my CV 35/1.4 at f1.4 is really only around a .5-.7 stops faster than my Contax G 35 at f2 in use, so I've been deferring to the Contax more and more.

I like having my CV 28/2 for a normal and the kit 16mm as a wide. I keep the flash attached, only for fill. For close-ups I screw on a Minolta No.2 close-up lens.
 
I have a photography "grab bag" -- a Thinktank UD 30. It's the bag I grab as I'm headed out of the house. In th ebag is a ZI, 21/2.8 Biogon, CV 35/1.2, 50mm Sonnar, NEX5 and 16mm.
 
Last weekend, it was an old brown Domke F2 bag, with Minolta MC lenses. 16mm F2.8 Fisheye, 21mm F2.8, 35mm F1.8, 58mm F1.2, 85mm F1.7, 100mm F2.8, and 200mm F3.5. And an SRT-100 body, loaded with Eastman XX film. And twenty extra rolls of Eastman XX.

And my Sony Nex-3 body, with Minolta Adapter.
 
I am a one kit, one prime these days.

Currently, Nex-5 with kit 16mm and CV 28 f2.

I also sometimes carry a M-Rokkor 40 f2 instead of the CV 28.

And Jupiter-9 85 f2 if I am shooting a stage event.

If I think I will be shooting some wides, I take the CV 12 f5.6 LTM along.
