The 16-35mm f/4 is an affordable, quality landscape lens. The 70-200mm f/2.8 is not so affordable but IQ is terrific, focal range versatile and I find works very well for portraits in the 70-135mm range. You don't have to be on top of your subject to get the portrait shots you want.
The 70-200mm is one of my favorite lens but I have the f/4 something. I also adore the 18-70mm f/3.5-4.5. 18-70 sits on my camera on the car seat next to me most of the time. Check out my latest landscapes and see if it contains enough subject for what you are looking for.
