I will wait if the next AF firmware update will bring any good to the table. The next step is tweaking AF settings (this can be quite time consuming I'm afraid) and write good settings for this lens to a C-mode. If nothing works I might sell it.

I was going to ask what firmware revision you were on. I haven’t tried 1.5.1 yet (maybe this weekend). 1.5.0 was a no-go for me (jumpy AF and too many lock-ups), so I rolled it back to 1.4.0. AF with 1.4.0 doesn’t jump around as much (it’s stickier), but it’s also a hair slower to acquire. Always trade-offs.
