Compagnon may also be a brand worth looking into. Their bags/backpacks are of really high quality, also handcrafted in Europe. 
They also don't "scream camera-bag".

I have their "The Backpack 2.0", for the more equipment stuff and the quality is really great! 

They also offer different sizes of their "the messenger", which all have room for the SL. 

I'm a friend of Compagnon Bags too - very stylish and very well thought out, best leather quality. Love the "little weekender" esp. for SL2 with handgrip and their Explorer backpack, which is no longer offered.

Don't own it, but seems it would fit, tightly.  The 9th pic in the link shows the SL with 24-90 lengthwise with hood, which is 9 inches. But an SL Summicron and SL2, without hood extended, would be 7 inches long, while the Q2 is about 3 inches in the same orientation.  So, about 10 inches together, not including padding, and specs show the bag length at 10.6 inches (not clear if external or internal, but the structure is not rigid). Likely no room inside for anything else, but that's all a guess.  I would contact the company and ask.

Thanks so much Jeff, I took your advice and reached out to them and they said it will fit. I leveraged your notes here as well and I don't mind flipping the lens hood as well. I've wanted this bag for some years now so  I'm happy to finally have a reason to buy it lol 😅

Part of the challenge is it's within the size that I still like to carry, anything bigger and I don't want it as a shoulder bag. I guess for some reason bigger bags don't look as appealing to me, I'll sacrifice looks a bit on a backpack but, for shoulder bags I don't know why, I just don't like it when bags have two fasteners to open them.

I have found the Think Tank Retrospective Bags are truly exceptional for daily frequent heavy use with SL cameras.

Thanks Daniel, I'm not fan of the Think Tank bags, although you could have been responding to an earlier post (apologies in advance if so  )

Hmm, definitely interesting design, thanks for sharing!
They're not speaking to me but I think I could see myself liking something like this eventually.

I'm have an old Wotancraft Avenger bag that I love. I have mostly used it for long (not anytime soon) trips. I have gone through many types of camera bags over the years (still have a room full) - the Wotancraft has always been my favorite. I think you will enjoy your Ryker!

Thank you I'm definitely looking forward to it! It takes some time to ship to USA so I'm now spending downtime watching unboxing  videos 🤓

Thank you for including the photo!  Will the 90-280 also fit with the hood (reversed?). Also, do you find the width of the Little Weekender to be an issue?
