Tokina 100-300mm zoom or Tokina 300mm prime....?

I own the 100-300 Zoom along with the Tokina 400mm Prime. This shot was taken at 300mm with the Tokina 100-300 zoom.

I was thinking out loud as to whether I should consider the zoom or the prime...

The Zoom gets much better reviews than the 300mm Prime. I would opt for the 100-300 Zoom over the 300 or 400 Tokina prime. The Zoom's focus is very smooth and has plenty of range.

Here's a shot I took today along the Mississippi River using the Tokina SL 400mm Prime lens. I used my Fuji X-H1 along with Capture 1 to edit. The photo is sharp in the foreground while the background becomes a slight blur.

Not bad for a 40 dollar lens eh?

I was expecting at least 1000,so pleasant news.Looks like the L Canon 70-300 will fund it.

27mm will be 399,I'll be selling 2 out of the 3 x27s that I have!

Why would you have three copies of the same lens? I'm assuming they're the same as I'm not aware of any other 27mm lenses.

Well in our state you would be imprisoned for such things. Probably 10 to 20 years. Oh the Horror...........
