First choice is to always match the lens with the body. In order of quality: If you can, get the Nikon 80-200mm f/2.8 Good luck!

I'm not sure what you mean by "mount....along with..." All Nikon lenses mount on all Nikon bodies, with the possible exception of brand new lenses and very old bodies. All of the features also may not be available when going from older bodies to newer lenses because of the computer chip in the lens. Tony Sweet

By mount, I mean ,I'll have two llenses, one from 28-80mm and other 80-200mm.Whether I can join the two using adaptor to enjoy 28-200mm telephoto without hampering quality.

No, you can't mount these lenses one on top of the other. Get a teleconverter instead. It will increase the focal length(s) of whatever lens you use it with. (It mounts between the lens and the camera.) Just remember you will always be compromising quality whenever you add a TC, filter or other adapter between the camera and lens or on the front of your lens. It's a trade off you sometimes take to get a longer focal length. I would advise trying the 1.4x TC instead of the 2x kind. You will lose ~1.4 stops of light with the 1.4; 2 stops with the 2x and so on. AF is also hampered somewhat. The manual focus TC's are cheaper, of course. I have a Tamron AF 1.4x TC, but I curse the slow AF every time I use it and usually end up switching to MF in the end. And I'm talking about fast lenses like the 80-200 f2.8 and 180mm f2.8.
