I hear ya, my lenses are a canon 70-300 4-5.6, a canon L 24-105, and a 40 mm prime for walkin around - I run hoya UV filters on both and always have IS on, but no lens hoods. By "1/2 second opps" I meant when you suddenly see something shoot or you lose the opportunity.

But I'm sure you're right, that at small apetures the 6D might not be able to keep up. I've also read it sucks for sports photography too.

On a side note, I read all of Michael Andrew's stuff and his videos are awesome - I bought them and they're worth it, especially for Noobs. I have no relationship to him other than a very happy customer:

6D vs 5DIII - Focus Locks

The video is awesome: [u2b]http://youtu.be/C5wCSSEi3rs[/u2b]
