Ronny, I still have modded A7R and standard A7R2 and on trips the two cameras work best for me. No need to change lenses often in the field as you can plan for specific setup (21/35, 21/50 or 35/50) and just keep both of them 'on' with a set of spare batteries. I think Samuli hes three cameras and keeps semi-fixed lenses to keep it fast and clean.
Looking forward to your new shots and to see Iceland from a different angle you will present

I had to go to a few older folders and I came across a few images from San Miguel Allende, Mexico that have not been posted yet. So, to bring in a little variety here are two images of an Aztec dancer from back then.

Ronny,
For travelling & hiking 2-4 cameras works best in my opinion. I'm lazy and if I have just one camera, then I don't use the best field of view=perspective for each shot, instead on timeline I see that I'm stuck to one lens for some part of the trail/path/road/time/whatever, and then change to another, and then stuck on that one. If you are not lazy then one camera may work. I was big fan of multicamera shooting already before Sony-era, at "worst" times I carried 2x5DmkII + 1x1DmkIII
Other issue is sensor dust, when changing lenses on forest/swamp/non-clean-place. For example there was so much pollen in air on Lapland during my vacation that there was zero change to change lens in forests/swamps without getting some pollen to sensor, maybe after rain it would have worked for few minutes.
I was just 2 week hiking in Lapland, but had AirBnb "base camp", returned to it daily = didn't carry tent, sleepingbag etc., just water and food in addition to cameras. Thanks to very small footprint of Sony FE-cameras and excellent backbag (LowePro Tactical 450AW), I was easily able to carry 4 cameras. Here is LowePro packed with A7v2 w/ ZM18, A7r w/ ZM25, A7 (Kolari mod) w/ ZM2/35 and A7(Kolari mod) w/ Leica APO 90. To have variation of rendering styles I had other set of lenses with me as well; Contax G-series 21, 28, 45 and 90 - packs naturally exactly the same way into this backbag. For each day at "base camp" I changed lenses, so that I had best lenses for planned shoot (actually laziness hit also here and it was more or less 2-3 days same lenses, then change from ZM to G rendering style or vice versa, and few times used the below mentioned 3 lens setup).
Rear view of the backbag: link. The MOLLE-system is nice, easy to add small or larger additional bags/pouches for food, water, etc. For example that small green pouch has my coretex-jacket, extra pair of shoelacess and compass. I have had >15 photo backbags, and this is far best and I have hard time figuring out how to improve it even I could custom design one for myself. It also fits nicely larger lenses; on past weekend I was shooting with ZE135+metabones+A7v2, ZE28+metabones+A7(Kolari) and FE55+A7r, and I can keep all hoods on lenses and everything still fits fine.
On some days I had longer hikes and had to fit more food & water, and carried only 3 cameras, set of G21 + ZM2/35 + Leica90APO was nearly perfect, but all 3 lenses require Kolari modified camera body for perfect operation, and I just had two, due to which I had to put Leica 90APO to non-modified camera, which caused me to use thicker DOF to hide thick sensor glass caused astigmatism & field curvature in some photos with Leica90APO.
In order to fix issue of "only having 2 Kolari modified cameras" I was planning to get Loxia 85 to get the "optimal 3 lens setup", but I could not find one from Finland. Instead I bumbed to used Sony FE 1.4/85mm GM. Now testing it to figure out would it fit to my camerabag - images did look great on viewfinder, but boke looks worse on larger size on majority of photos- time will show can I adapt to this lens or not. Rendering style is very much different than Zeiss lenses (real Zeiss lenses with traditional Zeiss rendering, not talking Tamron Batis here)

Samuli: Is it you who is Hulk Hogens Little brother
Looks to be a nice set up and bag to ..
Hope you will be happy with GM 85 after more testing
But loxia 85 looks great
I will probably trade in my rx1r tomorrow
for A7II and 16-35 f4
Can not justify having a camera lying in camera bag and not used more than a few times a year .. but i maintain that sonnar 35 is one of the best lenses I tested .. just pity it's sitting on a camera that does not feel Completely finished
But the pictures that it produces are really good
I think, though, I will have greater use of A7 II and a 16-35f4

Another image I haven't posted from San Miguel Allende.... An impromptu portrait on the street there and that's yours truly on the reflection of her Ray-Ban, some sort of selfie then .
