Dan,

I don't know what you like to shoot or where you are going but
personally I think that 65~200 is too big. Trade it and the 50 in on a
135 and if you miss long then maybe a 2x, (viv macro 2x?) Another way to
get a very lightweight macro is one of the close up filters, cheap too
and it gives decent results on a 135. If you got a 135/3.5 you could
share it with the 35~70. Plus the 135 is not a great loss if you get
ripped off or pick up a crop of fungus as the 65~200 seems to be more
prone to.
