It doesn't look like you need the 135mm lens with the 80-200 along also.
With 400 speed film in bright daylight, you sometimes run out of shutter
speed and aperture, so you need to bring slower film also, like 100. You
also won't be able to use fill flash with 400 speed film, since 1/60th
in bright daylight with that film is over f/22.
