Hi Alex,


I think that it's great that you have identified the problem, that's the first step towards recovery. Sean has provided you with some wonderful suggestions, there's really not much more to do. I would think the best thing to do would be to send the body and lens to Canon for calibration, especially since you only have one lens. If you buy other lenses in the future, then you should check their AF right away and exchange them if they are not spot on.


I guess your next body will definitely have AFMA. That's why a lot of people were surprised that the new 60D didn't have that feature.


For now you should manual focus your important shots, or select an Auto Focus point that is approx. 2 inches behind what you want to be in focus (since your setup appears to be front focusing by about 2 inches).


Good Luck,


Rich
