I own two 6Ds. Both have very good focus with most of the 6 lenses I own. However, my 24-70 f/2.8L II is 'off' on both. I want to join CPS just generally to have my gear serviced occasionally... but I'm wondering about having my 24-70 calibrated. Can they calibrate just the lens, or do I need to send one or both cameras in at the same time?

They calibrate the lens on a standard camera that is known to be accurate. They can calibrate the camera body as well.
I had my lens calibrated and it came back accurate on both of my bodies. It was in warranty, so I only had to pay shipping one way.
Bodies can also be off, so the combination of a body that is off plus a lens that is off may cancel or add. Lenses seem to be the issue most of the time.
Why not do a AFMA on your lens on each body. That's basically the same as calibrating the lens. The only reason I had my lens calibrated was that it needed a AFMA value of 17, and that was too close to the limit of 20.
