New body (1dxmk2) so took the good old 600mm out to see how it fared.
Slightly faster AF I felt vs the OG 1DX, still loving the rendering of the lens - side by side i think i prefer it over the 400 + 1.4x TC (but not the straight 400mm!)

Congratulations on your new Canon EOS-1D X Mark II. 

Now I have a couple more fantastic photo examples, showing what the original Canon 600mm lens can accomplish for action sport photography.
