Ouch!  How about this Tina?  What are your experiences with the new 5D?  
Also how is the finder?  I read in Pop Photo that the finder magnification

Guy Mancuso on Fred Miranda's forum just posted the following: 
 
 
15mm 2.8 mirror hangs get error code 
19mm 2.8 mirror hangs get error code, I could file down a little 
21-35 get mirror shadow at 22mm get Mirror hang up at 21mm good from 23mm up 
28 2.8 get mirror hangs at infinity 
50mm 1.4 mm mirror shadow at infinity 
90 apo okay 
180 apo okay 
 
Looks like the 5D is not a good choice with Leica lenses.
