Can the $200 gift card be used as partial payment for the item itself? I don't see any language restricting this.

I don't think so, because you get the gift card afterwards. But if you're also ordering something else, then I don't see why you couldn't use it in a separate order.

I tried, but was told it can only be used for future orders.

well I just got screwed out of $200 by Adorama by trying to partake in this deal. I ordered the 85mm, got the $200 certificate, spent it, then Adorama cancelled my lens and claims now that I owe them 200. note, they refunded the lens because UPS "lost" it, and instead of sending me another one decided to refund me the lens. I tried to place an order for the lens (without the 200, it was over by then) after confirming with the CS supervisor to make everything whole and now my account is suspended until I pay them back the 200. DO NOT BUY FROM ADORAMA.

Wow ! My gut feeling kicked in on a lens from them on Amazon. Glad I ordered elsewhere after seeing this.
Had a few shipping issues with them in the past.This however takes it to another level.
