That's tricky... There is no warranty that the ends
will match in FL.  Chances are they would not be.
Why carry such heavy pair of lenses when you could 
get some lighter fixed FL lenses?

Always go for the smallest wide aperture available,
i.e. 135/3.5, not 2.8, etc.  Some interesting lenses
to get:  50mm/2.0 (about $40 ea.), 135/3.5 ($50 ea.),
200/4.0 (about $120 ea.).
