Have a Z6 with 24-70, 24-200, 14-30, and the new MC 50mm f2.8 micro.
Would appreciate any advice/suggestions, etc. regarding what gear and/or lenses to take, as well
as any tips as to clothing, etc....
Many thanks,
Ken Speckler

Get a decent camera bag (maybe a backpack style) and take them all. Add a light weight tripod or good sturdy monopod with a decent head.

Santa Fe and Taos will be HOT! in the day and chilly at night.
Iceland in September - it will be cold and damp since it is a North Atlantic island and September is late fall that far north. I have been on a ship in the Central Pacific in Nov. Pretty much the same conditions.
Their average high in Sep is 50° F in the daytime. (That took me less than a minute on Google to find out.)
If you don't take clothing that is warm enough the local businesses will be glad to sell you some .

I like to travel light. I usually bring a compact camera. Easy peasy.

Bring an inexpensive monopod which was my advice from B+H. Bring cleaning supplies for the dust. Bring all your lenses but don’t carry everything with you. I’ve been to Santa Fe several times. It will be hot. Don’t miss the museums there the Native American museum, folk art and Georgia O’Keeffe museums.
