Wow, that snowy owl at full size is amazing, stunning, you choose the word for a 1k lens! Look at the full size of this attractive flying bird:
And used on a rebel T2i <b>(correction this shot is on the 1D X)</b> as explained in the review, see:
\"Canon states that all bodies except the 5D MkIII and the 1D series require a lens that is f/5.6 or brighter for auto focus to work. Lindsay used the Tamron, which is f/6.3 at 600mm, on her Rebel T2i. Auto focus functioned perfectly for her. It appears that there will be no AF problems on Canon bodies, even though it is theoretically 0.33 f-stops too dark.\"
So Canon DSLR shouldn\'t matter. Sure the Canon 600mm is slightly sharper and definitely more contrast, as shown in the 100% crop comparison of the hawk, but at a huge cost.
