However when I moved to the D700 it was not good enough over 200 mm at the edges, even at f11. The 80-200 is comparatively big and heavy, but the image quality is far better at f5.6 than the 70-300 is at f8 between 70 and 200. I'm afraid it is the old story, high quality glass and construction means more weight.

80-200 mm f/4.5. It was similar to the previous lens, but with only 12 elements in 9 groups gave even better performance. It also had a 52 mm filter and 6' or 1.8m close focus. It weighed a little less at 26.5 oz. or 750 g. The easiest way to tell it apart from the earlier model is its rectangular rear blind. Of course, it's f/4 vs f/2.8, so that might eliminate it from your consideration. I have the 70-200 f/4 and use it with my D500 and love it. It also plays well with the Nikon 1.4x teleconverter (mine is TC-14E II) to give you a 147-420 f/5.6 zoom, that is if I have done my math correctly.
While the Nikkor 500mm f/4G VR is a noticeably sharper lens wide open, the Nikon 400mm f/2.8E FL ED VR shows remarkably good results when stopped down at f/5.6, practically matching the performance of the 500mm lens. So if you shoot with both lenses wide open, the 500mm f/4G ED VR is a better candidate. Once stopped down, the two lenses perform

However, the cheaper Sigma 70-200mm f/2.8 Sports lens goes toe to toe with the Nikon for sharpness in real-world shooting, while matching other aspects of the Nikon’s image quality, autofocus speed and the stabilization effectiveness. 3. Tamron SP 70-200mm f/2.8 Di VC USD G2.
