I'm curious if this technique would effectively "speed up" the AF experience with a lens notoriously slow, like an AF Macro lens. I would love to have something like the 70mm SIGMA Macro if I could use it as a short telephoto in addition to a macro.
Does someone following this thread have a macro lens that they could test this with?

Catch in focus is a reason toggle this setting back and forth, for people who use manual lenses.

I'm curious if this method would practically "speed up" the AF in Macro lenses that people say have AF rates too slow for things like children and pets. I realize of course, that the lens' AF speed wouldn't change, but if you are tracking and staying ahead of the shot with it, would it effectively get you more shots of moderately moving objects with a Sigma 70 or Tamron 90 Macro, lens, for example.
Anyone got one who's playing with this technique who would be willing to run a test for us?

Great technical discussion, I've been playing with it this morning and I think it could really help out for some of what I do. Somewhere around page 4 there was a discussion about quick shift that I didn't really follow, but I have never been able to make QS work until changing to these settings, so I think that's good progress.
The tragedy with me here is that it appears that these settings prevent me from using Catch In Focus with my manual lenses, which is something that I do quite often. I got a little lost in the "multiple users" discussion. Is there a way to configure my camera to work with both CIF with a MF lens and this type of AF-C work with an AF lens? I thought that maybe shifting back to AF-S for the manual lens might do it, but it did not.
EDIT: It looks like I can re-enable CIF by just changing the "Shutter Button Half Press" setting back and forth. So, one menu change between modes is not bad, unless someone has a better method.
