A big part for all my trips (mostly solo trips) is taking photographs (more creative work than casual shots). Mostly interested in landscapes, street, and occasional self portraits (streets or landscape as backdrop). Prefer simple/minimum set up. Next trip: Iceland. I have a Sony A7 CII (bought for traveling purpose). Which one(s) of the following Sony GMs should I get?
Sony 16-35/2.8
Sony 24-70/2.8
Sony 50/1.4, 80/1.4, 35/1.4
I do like to shoot in low light. Want fast FS.
Ideally I'd prefer just one zoom. If not, one zoom plus one prime. What are your thoughts/experiences? Would love to see your sample traveling photos. If you could indicate what lens you used for your photos, and what focal lengths that'd be great. Many thanks in advance!
P.S Doesn't have to be Sony GMs...Added a few photos I took in Iceland by my phone so to give you some idea what kind of landscapes I like. Phone images are far from ideal but welcome critiques.

P.S Doesn't have to be Sony GMs. I'd consider Sigma...
