What lens to bring to Iceland?

[Transalp01]

I'm going to Iceland a couple of days. What should I bring?

I'm planning to bring E-M10, Oly 14-42 EZ, Oly 40-150, Pana 14/2,5 and Canon S95 + WP-DC38 (underwater house) for the Blue Lagoon

Lenses I'm not plan to bring is Oly 45/1,8, Pana 100-300, Sigma 30/2,8 60/2,8, Samyang 7,5

What do you think? Should I change my plans what I'm bringing?

Personally I would definitely bring the Samyang (Ice caves, to exaggerate foreground elements, really wide view of what I imagine will be spectacular scenery) and although I'm not sure what macro opportunities there are in Iceland, I would probably bring the 60 2.8.

If space weren't a problem I'd bring them all just in case but I realize that's not usually an option.

That covers it well. I tend to shoot longer than short but you have a good range there. The 14-42 would be good for a walkaround lens if you get some time in Reykjavik. Be warned, Iceland is addictive. Here’s a dump from my visit last year, mostly Hasselblad but some with teh EM 1 and 12-35 http://www.jeff-grant.com/portfolio315669.html

Do you have something in mind for the Blue Lagoon? Visibility must be about an inch, at best.

Thank you for your answers!

I will add Samyang 7,5 to my packing!

Jeff: Very good photos!

I know about the limited visibility in the Blue Lagoon. The WP-DC38 is just for taking same photos of my girlfriend in the Blue Lagoon. (Not for underwater photos.) But thanks for your comments to make sure I knew!

It rains a lot at this time of the year - I'd bring something weather sealed or better yet bring some rain covers for your camer and lenses and use them

I'm already here! Girlfriend with umbrella works!

Visibility at the Blue Lagoon can be excellent
