Hi I’m looking for suggestions for a bag to carry X-H2S with XF100-400 and XF16-55, couple of spare batteries, cards, lens wipe etc. I prefer a bag that is worn like a rucksack with 2 shoulder straps as I have bad shoulders and wish the weight to be carried equally by both shoulders.
I’m currently using a small Osprey hiking rucksack and roll my camera and lenses inside fleeces and hats for protection, it works ok but a dedicated pack would be preferable. I have smaller camera bags for carrying body with a lens fitted, but no bag for option of big zoom and an extra prime or brick lens. Thanks for your recommendations.
I’m guessing it’s useful to have means of carrying a water bottle, some snacks and lightweight waterproofs and camera bag waterproof cover too.

A gazzilion of recommendations on DPR, Youtube, etc - in terms of bias on attributes it is a bell curve with a huge sigma =)
For me it's the smallish Peak Design's clever & stylish knock-off Lowepro Freeline 350 AW I'm gonna use on my overseas trip to Seoul-Paris-St Petersburgh-Tuscany-Riviera this June/July - could do very well for you too?For much better explanations see Anthony Hurren's excellent review where among other things he fits his 100-400 mm & 200 mm & tripod into city-sized (!) Freeline:

This could do what you want. It's a Vanguard VEO SELECT 41 Backpack/Shoulder Bag. I got mine from Amazon. It's got everything you've asked for.

This fits the H2S, 100-400, and one lens like the 50-140. I also carried accessories.

I use a Think Tank Glass Limo with the (borrowed) 100-400 – because I already have it to haul the Canon FD 500. With your kit you’ll have extra space for sundry items, but it’s a comfortable pack to carry fully loaded.
