Tony, what did you go for in the end? I'm coming to the conclusion that my adapter is too thin, as all lenses focus just past infinity. It is fine on the XXD series, but on the 5D mk I it is not so good. My Planar 50/1.4 lenses will just reach infinity, any further and the mirror gets stuck.
The Distagon 28/2.8 will not work at any focusing distance, while the 35/2.8 is fine until infinity where it hits the mirror.
So far the HappypageHK adapter looks like the best bet, but before I shell out a load of money, has anyone got any alternatives?
Thanks in advance

My adapter seems also too thin for ZEiss lenses 
i bought it @ pixlamb
Now i'm waiting for a Fotodiox adapter. My choice was due to fact that they tested Zeiss lenses on both aps-c and FF Canon's , for instance the 5D and they used this adapter to do the tests, so i think it's a reliable one.

The 5D Mark II compatibility chart, has a column on adaptors
U will find it very useful.
BIG_IS adaptors seem to be working fine for the majority.

Hi Dakoo
Interesting about the big_is adapter. There seems to be a couple of people using them here, but on other forums people are complaining that they are too thin and lenses hit the mirror. Will investigate further!
Cheers

I got mine with the AF chip from Alex (hk300). It's working for my Makro-Planar 100/2.8 and the 28/2.8. I am sure he can source some good quality adapters for us at a reasonable cost.

There are various sellers but how many manufacturers? Are they all really the same? I got a chipped one because it was all I could find - it works fine but cost and arm and a leg. I can't remember the vendor now, sorry.

I confirm these are good adapters. I had one without a chip; it was lost in mail when sending as a small packet for installing an AF chip

Well that is good news  Not about you losing your adapter though, that sucks!

The HappyPageHK adapter arrived! And guess what? My lenses now work!
Here are the results:
Distagon 28/2.8 MM - perfect (yay!!!!)
Distagon 35/2.8 AE - hits mirror at infinity (still takes a photo)
Planar 50/1.4 AE - perfect
Planar 50/1.7 AE - perfect
Makro Planar 100/2.8 - error (need to investigate!)
Vario-Sonnar 35-70/3.4 - perfect (yay!!!!!)
Vario-Sonnar 80-200/4 - perfect (yay!!!!!)
Not too fussed about the Distagon 35 as I have the Vario-Sonnar for that range, and I'm not sure why the Makro-Planar doesn't work as it's fine with the cheaper adapter. I'm getting an 'err' message which is exactly what I mumbled when I didn't get a photo
Really pleased that I can now use the Distagon 28mm and Vario-Sonnar 35-70mm, this is a big step forward and means I don't have to shave the mirror yet
