I'm facing a similar dilemma myself and I just can't make my mind whether to take the 16-85 or the 16-35 f4 (ruggedness and more weight versus better range and slower speed). Time to toss a coin ? <img src='http://forum.photozone.de/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/smile.gif' class='bbc_emoticon' alt='' />

The 16-85 is actually faster at the wide end. And it will probably not be significantly slower than f4 at its 35mm setting.
