It isn't really possible to move the sensor any more than maybe 0.5mm and that isn't enough (need at least 2.5 to 3 mm shift)

I have been able to cut the camera frame (on one of my 350D's) an move the eos mount in 3mm but that isn't a very practical way of over coming the problem.

Auto focus isn't a concern for me, I don't ever use it, the problem it that with the glass removed most of my lenses can't focus at infinity, and I like doing wide fields so that is unacceptable.
