David from down under

The 18mm AE will work with the 5d but you need a thinner adapter than 1.5mm. It is possible that the lens rear protection will hit the mirror though, glass and mirror won't damage (unlike the MM version)
the 35 1.4 needs the mirror to be shaved, here the glass might get scratches, there is no protection

My 35/1.4 works fine

I guess I was lucky

I only did a visual check before mounting. Was using a fotodiox adapter.

Good for you, is it sharp at infinity at f1.4?

Michael,

Thanks for the report: a fabulous C/Y array! Do you find any marks or gouges in the 5D mirror box? In particular, the P100 has a substantial "shark fin" that has marred my old D30. Also significant, the fin will force the lens to sit askew on the mount, visibly tilting the image plane. I saw this effect on the P100 and SP60.

I think so. My only test when I first got it were some trees about 200' away.

But I was expecting it to work based on this thread...

Rico,
Yes, indeed I have a very thin relief that has been carved into the 5D mirror box.
I perceived the P100 to be a little tighter than the other lenses and this explains it.
I even discovered a super thin curl of black plastic material that had been removed by the fin.
I can't see that the lens sits askew on the camera, but the images seem soft, and this lens is anything but soft on my Contax bodies. Thanks for the input.

I also noticed significant vignetting with the P50/1.4 wide open.

Michael
