Anything beyond 600mm on a FF takes some real practice and skill to control, especially from a moving vehicle. Putting the 150-600mm on a crop body would limit you to the 150-300mm or so end of the lens' range, and you'd have a rather large gap in coverage between 105mm on the 6D and 150mm (240mm AoV) with the crop body. On the other hand, sometimes you'll probably want to get some wide angle vistas, and that will only happen with the 24-105mm on a FF body. | |

I will practice with both lenses on both bodies before we leave though! | |
