I think the largest aperture is too small on both. A 300 with F2.8, or F1.8, that would be very good :)
Best wishes to you all!

A mirror lens? Well at least they tried.

I think f/6.3 is pretty good for a mirror lens. A 300 with f/2.8 would be a totally different beast. Apples and oranges. :)

I've seen mirror lenses with F/4.5 and at least one with AF. Too bad these two aren't that advanced.

I actually love that Tokina has introduced these, especially the 300mm.  It was actually the focus of my blog post this morning: http://admiringlight.com/blog/new-tokina-300mm-someone-who-gets-it/
