I don't know, Philippe as I don't own a 5D to measure. I do remember
reading somewhere on the net that the 5D had much more limitations because
of the larger mirror so less lens clearance. One gentleman shaved his 5D
mirror with a dremel tool to regain the proper clearance. How he did it
without introducing lots of dust particles into the camera is a mystery to
me.
