Noticed something interesting today after doing a little bit of experimenting. I turned off Shutter AE, and just used the AE-L button to lock exposure, if I needed to and noticed that the camera performed a lot more stable in AF-C with the 56 lens. I'll have to do some more testing, but I noticed the camera locked on much quicker in burst mode, than when I had the exposure lock triggered by the shutter button.

Bumping this up.

This deserves more exposure, as everyone is raving at the moment on how the af on the new lens is so much better...

Curious to hear also if decoupling AE from shutter is a worthy trick for more keepers in AF-C.
