John, calibration usually refers to adjusting your camera/monitor/printer to
capture, display and output/print colors in a consistent manner, but I think
you *might* be actually thinking about having your camera and lenses
examined (typically by Canon) to insure that neither has any focusing
problems, especially back focus. There are some tests you can perform
yourself, here's a simple one"

While there are certainly cameras and lenses with focusing issues, I think
there are more issues with people not understanding the what results from
using multipoint focusing systems or even more basic operational issues.

Costs of adjustment for cameras and lenses are going to vary based on the
specific lens and warranty status of the items that might need work.

HTH,

Tom P.
