Prime lens for zoo?

Is rhere a prime lens for use on FF 5D (somewhere around 400mm) that has high IQ and sharpness, but below €1,000?
In other words a prime lens that will give better quality than zoom option, but not with huge price.
Recommendations and samples welcomed.

Your best bet is the 400/5.6L with a pod

or 300 f4 IS plus a 1.4 TC and no pod

HAHAH... that'll work too

A good zoom is just as good as a prime these days. Yes, really good primes have the edge, but I've always been happy with the 100-400 for zoos.
