If I'm going for some casual shooting and I'm only bringing the one lens I might just use my sling strap, and no bag at all, but I'll use a wrist strap instead if I'll be pulling the camera from and putting it back in a bag often... So I like switching between both options w/PD's Anchor system.

With a lens the size of my 35GM or anything larger I tend to use bags with dividers but when I use smaller lenses I cram them in pretty tight bags and I'll use Domke wraps to protect some stuff and/or keep it from banging together. They're thinner than the Tenba wraps (so less bump protection but also slightly less bulk) and somewhat ironically the single diagonal Velcro strap in the corners hangs on better than the custom triangle on Tenba's.

I tend to keep a clear B+W XS-Pro filter on most of my weather sealed and/or pricey lenses, since I'm more likely up use those in adverse conditions or end up lamenting any front element scratches (tho the slightest ones are really no big deal). I think my 24G is the one exception, it's front element is so small I figured a filter just presented a larger target.

Hoods are kinda situational for me but a lot of Sony wides/primes have really excellent flare resistance lately. I actually don't mind the 35GM's hood since it doesn't extend as far as petal hoods, but I just noticed this and might give it a try:
