Only my 24 doesn't workon the 5D. i do have he first version 19 which does work, the second version doesn't. I just got a an Olympus 24/2.0 to replace the elmarit 24. Works as a charm too. i also have a tokina 400 with nikon mount. Woks nice too. I'm now looking for a fast nikon or contax 85, 100 or 135.
