[QUOTE="STM, post: 323957, member: 12827"] It seems redundant to me. 2/3 of the range of your longest lens would be covered by the shorter one. Is the extra stop worth it? It would mean for a brighter finder image and maybe better low light autofocus, but how many times would you shoot the thing wide open? The IQ is probably ok but you will be dealing limitation like coma, softer corner and lower contrast and higher flare levels. Does the 80-200 have ED glass? You will also see CA and fringing at wider apertures at the longer focal lengths [/QUOTE]
