Hi Felix,

that's a lot of stuff you plan to schlepp around. I have the Shimoda Action X30 and I am very happy with it. But for all the gear you have in mind, you may have to go with the X50.

Cheers,
Erik

I am using a first generation Wandrd Prvke that I got on sale. I have a GFX 100S. For my last trip, I brought it along with the 32-64 zoom, plus the 63mm and 30mm primes and a Leica Q2 monochrome. Extra batteries, a 14” M1 MacBook Pro, an iPad and a Remarkable 2 (for reading without distraction) plus a book all made it in. Your gear should be fine too.

I'm using a Shimoda Designs Action X50 (https://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/product/1525367-REG/shimoda_designs_520_104_action_x50_black.html/BI/6897/KBID/7446) with their Large DSLR Core Unit Version 2 (https://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/product/1525380-REG/shimoda_designs_520_215_core_unit_large_dslr.html/BI/6897/KBID/7446) insert for the GFX 100S along with the GF 23/4, 32-64/4, 45-100/4, and the 100-200/5.6 lenses. The Action X50 has been a great pack for my system, and I may add the Action X30 (https://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/product/1525363-REG/shimoda_designs_520_100_action_x30_black.html/BI/6897/KBID/7446) for those times when I don't want to carry as much gear.

We use the Compagnon Element backpack and their 15L Element sling.

In the lower price category, The LowePro 45 or 500 models work quite well for our GFX50R cameras.  I carry the 45-100mm and the 100-200mm and the 50mm 3.5.
But still have room for other stuff.

Take a look

Hmm, it would be more convenient if you took a photo of your old backpack next to the lens. So we could better understand what to tell you. As for my preferences, I am a big aesthete and I like to have everything stylish. I have a large collection of backpacks, there are Nike, Adidas and backpacks from woosir.com (https://woosir.com/collections/waterproof-canvas-backpacks) . I especially adore vintage-styled backpacks, because most often they are covered with wax, which protects from water and this is especially important when carrying a camera in a backpack
