One ancillary question I have is whether the micro-adjustment features of the latest 1-series cameras would really allow you to perform such mico adjustments yourself.
This is what I was thinking, too. I'll prepare a CD with the test images for them to see, but I think I'll leave out the 50mm lens results and have them put both the 24-105 and the 40D through their paces for calibration. I'll just tell them that I don't know whether its the camera or the lens that is causing the trouble.

I would think that adding the micro adjustments to the 1-series bodies would eliminate a great deal of work for the cust service center for calibration. While I haven't read the specifics of this feature, if would be great if it could remember settings for 4 or 5 different lenses.
