How's that one compared to the Contax Zeiss T* Planar 100mm f/2.0?
Anyone used both?

Or the f2 AF-D, which is even better.

That really depends on what you consider better.

The 2.5 is a great lens, its small, has very nice bokeh and is quite sharp. I prefer the EF 100/2 USM or 105/1.8 AIS over it though. On a 5D really the 100/2 is a much better choice. The 105/2DC is nice, just amazingly sharp, but it doesn't focus as far before infinity as either the 105/2.5 or 105/1.8 do.

That 105 f/2.5 is a great lens. The AIS version I have has a built-in hood. I got mine from cogitech at a great price (thanks Paul!). He tried it out on his 5D, but he had too many alt lenses so was making room. Lucky me

I use a 105 F2.5 P, on my 30D , with no mirror problems, maybe the 5D could be a problem.

As everyone said, it should clear. If you are looking for a lens to shoot brick walls, there are many better. If you are looking for a lens to shoot people on a background that is smooth but still easily identifiable, there are lenses with a different look but not necessarily better. If you are looking for a totally blown out background, there are better options.

There is one kicking around my extended family and I can't quite figure out who has it right now, but I want it back! The F3 misses it.

Here's a shot with my pre-AI 105/2.5 Nikkor P taken with a 30D...considering the extreme backlighting it did quite well...
