Nikkor 80-200mm 2.8 vs Nikkor 70-200 VR II?

I shoot mainly sports and candid street photography, I've already done my research on the 70-200 and I know it is clearly superior to the 80-200 but i don't know if I wanna spend double the price of the 80-200 for it. I can't find any good review anywhere about the 80-200 in comparison to the 70-200 or any other party lens sigma, tamron.

Nikon mount 70-200/80-200 shootout?

I'm looking for a fast telephoto lens for sports/candid shots.

Obviously, the Nikon 70-200 f2.8 is the most optically superior (although it has an older VR system). I know that it has issues when focusing at close objects (at 200mm it is actually close to 140mm when focused close).

Another choice is the Nikon 70-200 f4, which is lighter and cheaper, but still over a grand. Although it has an excellent VR system (4 stops), it has a smaller aperture which can't freeze motion as well as an f2.8 aperture can.

I have also ruled out the sigma 70-200 and looked at the Tamron 70-200. I have read positive reviews from it. However, I'm still a bit skeptical of third party lenses but I'm still considering the tamron.

The last choice that I have is the 80-200 Nikon f2.8 which has no VR and has slightly inferior optics as well as slower AF and has no weather sealing.

I'm torn on which one to choose! Please be aware that I'm on a tight budget and own a crop body as well as a full frame.

Nikkor AF-S 50mm f1.4g any good?

Is that lens any good with Nikon D7200? What would be the focal length, if it's DX?

Best lens combination for birding?

I'm an ameteur bird photographer and am planning to buy the nikon d7200 for birding. But i'm stuck on which lens to buy. I've got 3 options.
1. Buy the tamron sp 150 600mm lens
2. Buy the nikon 70 300mm lens with a good teleconverter.
3. Get a spotting scope.

The reason for the confusion is i don't know which one will give me the best results… If you r suggesting option 2 or 3 please tell which teleconverter or spotting scope i should use?
