The 21-35mm will not work with the 5D. The shroud around the rear element of the lens fouls the mirror. I read somewhere that this shroud can easily be removed simply by undoing a couple of screws. However, at least on my version of the lens there are more than a couple of screws and one seems to secure the rom contacts in position so I haven't attempted it! The 35-70mm and the 70-200mm work fine.
Hope this helps.
