[QUOTE="BackdoorArts, post: 136114, member: 9240"] The cost difference here lies primarily in lens technology and construction. A fixed aperture lens array is on a zoom is historically more expensive from both an R&D and production point of view. What you also have in the 16-35mm is a lens with no external length change across the zoom, with all movement internal. These types of lenses tend to be a little sturdier and less impervious to dust and moisture getting in. So there are trade-offs, but they're not as obvious or relevant straight out of the box.
