When you upgraded from 5D2 to 5D3, did you notice a jump in keeper rate and higher in focus shots with prime lens like 35 1.4, 50 1.2, 85 1.2, and 24 1.4, etc?

Of my fast primes it was the 24L & 50L that could be a bit hit and miss on the 1D4 and even worse on the 5D2, but they are more reliable on the 5D3. All my other lenses work great on my 1D4 including the 85L.
