If it's consistently aft of the true focus point you need to get the camera af aligned. I'm sure it's a standard issue for Canon. Did you send it in with the lens you normally use? It shouldn't matter but you never know. Javier
Yes, I sent it in with my 24-70 2.8 and with a CD with raw and jpeg images of my focus test and explaining how my test were done. I received a notice from Canon after I sent it in that I'd have it back in 10 days. After two more weeks, I called and it seemed that the 10D focus issue was a standard problem, so I got my expectations up that it would be fixed. When I got it back, I ran my focus test again and got the same results as before (aft focus). I was then convinced that I was just being picky and decided to live with it. However, when using it in the field, I still would get shot where the focus was aft. That's when I started consistently stopping down, boosting my ISO, and tweaking the focus forward after focus lock. I've read on several website about the focus issue with the 10D and I'm not alone. I usually don't bring it up on this newsgroup because it's a known issue with the 10D, but I couldn't let newcomers who've been reading this thread not know about the focus problems some of us have had with the 10D.
I had a fight with Canon (Canada) to get my D60 focussing properly. It would also focus behind the subject, especially with faster lenses. With the 50/1.4 it tended to focus on 20' when the subject was at 15' or 16'. Completely useless at f1.4. With the 16-35 it was OK, although the discrepancy should have been greater. With the 70-200 it was also noticeable, but not by a lot, and the 100-400 was also fine. The 100 macro was always a bit off.
It took Canon 3 tries to get it right. Here too, I had to phone almost daily to get the work done in a reasonable length of time.
I've had significantly more trouble with Canon products and repairs than with any other brand. I started using Canon products about 8 years ago and while I like many things about them I have had problems with all the bodies and 3 of the lenses (out of 10).
