Yes,
I have just bought an EOS 1DsMk2, the mirror will hit the back of the 
19mm R lens unless about 1.5mm is removed from the top of the rearmost 
section of the mount. I am still in two minds but it is so much better 
than the Canon lens (and I own it!) that I am tempted to do the 
modification.
cheers
