if all you are going to carry is the x100F and a Mac Pro, or air, then the Tenba 5 Retrospective series - maybe the 5 or 10 may fit the bill.  If you don't care about name brands (like me) then check out amazon.  I've gotten $30.00 bags that hold my camera gear, my Macbook Air, and lenses + accessories.  And they do not look like camera bags at all.  

 

Also, if you live in/near a big city try the local Salvation Army store.  I've seen amazing bags there for a few bucks as well.

I have 6 traditional camera bags but sometimes it is more convenient to take a neutral bag or back pack and use what is called a "padded insert". Google that and you may find something you like.

Some of them have a handle and a zip so you can move all the gear out. It is  good on vacation when you can just pull all out after a walk and put the towel in and go to the beach. :)

Often you have to have a bottle of water and other things you have to have in there as well and this insert protects a bit better than a regular camera bag.

Peak Design Every Day Messenger bag. It's not perfect, but it's way better than anything else.

 

The other alternative would be a Hadley Pro or any rucksack.

    • I also use a Nikon to GFX Fringer and it works very well.  24mm f/1.8 vignettes so best used on 35mm mode.  50mm f/1.8 covers the entire frame very well with no issues and is a superb little lens. 105mm Sigma vignettes slightly but is perfectly usable. 300 f/4 likewise the 105.  I have a 70-200 f/20+.8 incoming to test so will report back but I'm expecting a little vignetting.  Even in 35mm mode the image is still 60MP and if you're prepared to manually crop and correct you can get 80-90 MP images.  I also have a C/Y to GFX adapter.  The 24mm Sigma Superwide vignettes strongly. Ditto 28-80 Zeiss Sonnar. 80-200 f/4 Sonnar is perfectly usable. All work fine as 35mm mode lenses.  I also have an M42 adapter which I tried with the Carl Zeiss Jena 135mm f/3.5 with good results. 
    • Thank you. I will research it.
    • Ahh, the infamous brick wall photos… 😀 According to internet lore, if the dng converter does not properly apply the corrections, you can have it apply custom profiles that should work for you. How to do that is waaaaaay outside of this comment’s scope, but there are plenty of sites listed in the search engines that step you through the processes. Best wishes.
    • Jerry Thank you very much. That is extremely helpful. It seems that the camera and the lens have the latest firmware update, so it appears that the corrections should be applied automatically. The lens arrived this afternoon and I took some quick test shots, in which the correct lens information appeared in the EXIF files, so that sounds good. I used Adobe DNG converter to convert the Raw (RAF) files, and then opened the DNG files and saved them in PSD format. However, with a beautiful, clear, cloudless blue sky, there were no lines near the edges to check if distortion had been corrected. Another day I plan to photograph a brick wall. Thank you for your help.
    • Typically you need to make sure the lens is compatible with the camera, i.e. check the lens compatibility charts for your camera, then make sure the respective firmwares are updated so older issues are resolved. After that, each lens has a manufacturer’s profile which will be embedded into the raw file meta data for the images captured using that lens. From there, it is up to the raw conversion software to apply the lens correction to the image. Different converters do that differently, some automatically, some only if a setting is turned on. For in-camera jpegs, the on-board converter does the corrections automatically, assuming the camera recognizes the lens, it applies a generic profile otherwise. I do not know if that can be turned off or not.
