By all accounts no. The F 70-200mm f4.0~5.6 is a non multi coated bargain lens that is cosmetically similar to the 70-210, but is more closely related to the takumar bayonet 70-200 f4.0~5.6. There's a some sample variation so a very good 70-200 may be better than a not so good 70-210, but the 70-210 is unlikely to ever have the flair resistance of the 70-210.
