Charlie,
I think there are a couple of issues leading to your problems that are design related, and not necessarily "flaws" in the xl2.
The first, and most important as it relates also to the...

actually my comment was relative to the canon 3x...which I own...which seems to be troubled with backfocus problems (that at least one source has claimed can't be fixed).

just what we need...another piece of glass to make that 20x even more front heavy!!. Actually, if it will hold focus from wide to zoom...this might me a nice add on. Thanks for the research chris.

I'll disagree with brent on this one. The xl2 focus has been tuned to a slower (so it won't match the lightning fast dsr 250), but more steady parameter as compared to the xl1s. It rarely hunts in...
