Booq Python Sling.
This a very, very well made bag that is sadly no longer in production and has been sitting as a closet queen. New, never used in anger and complete with tags.
Unlike far, far too many bags, the Python Sling will happily swallow a gripped GFX50S, GFX100 or H series Hassy plus extra glass and additional kit.
I test fit it with our gripped GFX50S and our H5D and it could carry either (or both actually) with extra glass or one with a long lens plus the aforementioned glass. If you have smaller gear - it will take a ton of it.
The dividers have double velcro tabs (unlike most bags which have only one) for real grip - and there are lots of them and some rigid dividers included. Will take a 13" laptop / iPad and has a dedicated rain cover (red).
The top compartment can be made deeper or more shallow to make extra room inside the main compartment if desired as it's self contained and just extends or contracts within the tube created by the main body - fixing it's depth with velcro. Extended to its max depth, it will easily take a small SLR or any mirrorless cropped body plus two smaller lenses - and leave room in the main body for the GFX/H5D kit mentioned above.
If desired, some creative work with a seam ripper and a sewing machine and say some velcro could modify the bottom of the top compartment to open to allow top access. The top flap is large enough to access a gripped GFX50S or HxD face down.
Strap is very well padded and has a dedicated phone /doodad pocket. The bag has tripod straps on back and an anti-rotation strap that tucks away. The main strap can be unbuckled so you don't need to lift it over your head to remove it. Also has a nice top handle.
PLEASE NOTE: Due to the design, the bag MUST be worn over the right shoulder. Takes a few minutes to adjust to if right handed, but a godsend if left handed.
I'd post pics, but it looks identical to the nice pics below (being new and all). Non smoking environment.
