Looking to get a long lens Debating between 3: Tokina AT-X 400/5.6, Tokina 500mm mirror, Tamron SP 500mm mirror. Wouldn't mind another F* 300/4.5, but that might be just a little pricey. Any other recommendations? AF is not a major concern. And I think I'm going to shut down my darkroom.

Have you considered the bigma? I have the OS version and it is quite good for what it is. The OS is easily good for 4 stops at the long end too. AF is also quite fast but will hunt a lot in low contrast or low light situations. It's a great lens. On May 26, 2017 2:54 PM, "Collin Brendemuehl"
