I did, actually.  The 5D2 allows you to adjust the distance from the sensor
to lens, and then records that (for up to 20 Canon lenses), and sets it when
you mount that particular lens.  It is a matter of shooting test targets
(boring) with various increments of up to +20 to -20.  With the zooms (24-70
2.8 L and 70-200 2.8 IS L) the differences between correct focus and no
adjustment were not at all subtle.  The primes I have needed no adjustment.
