I was playing around with my lenses yesterday when I noticed something weird on my 50mm 1.4.  I took 2 photos of a can of Pepsi and noticed that the focus point was backwards -2.  The 50D has digital adjustments for individual lenses so for the moment I can still use the 50mm until I complete the warranty slip to get it sent to a service center.
