Not exactly, different league.

Then perhaps you can use the kit 18-55mm and get a Sigma 50-500mm and nothing else.

Would like to seek opinons on purchase of warranty and non warranty Lens.

Is it worth to buy non- warranty Nikon 80-200mm f2.8 which is only cheaper by S$150 , and Why ?

risk = $

is the $ enough for you to cover your risk?
only you will know the answer

but to me, I have never had a warranty issue with lenses
so far i have bought 7 lenses in over a decade
