Mine seems to have a small focusing issue on my 50d and a friends 7d...... Is there a way to get it tested and checked??

What sort of focusing issue? Have you tried using micro adjust?

When you focus on somethink it seems to miss it and focus on somethink closer .... Does that make sence?

Sounds like it's frog focusing. You can micro adjust on the 50d/7d to correct that, but make sure it fixes the problem across the focal range.

Adjust the micro adjust!

Find it in the menu, - or + the adjustment while on a tripod until you get a satisfactory result.

If not, it might need calibrating to your body.

Here is a good guide. Make sure you use a tripod as you want to keep the camera still.
