Yes, I've used the Nikon adapter. I have the Cameraquest "NEOS" version, which I've used with both the 5D and 10D. Very nicely made, but expensive. I've used it with a couple older Nikon super telephotos, including the 200/2.0; A former co-worker is a Nikonian and has some great old glass.
I also use two M42 lenses, the Peleng 8mm fisheye and the Zeiss 75/1.5 Biotar.
Manual focus with the 5D is *much* easier than with the 10D, but if I were doing a lot more of it, I'd invest in the optional Ee-S focus screen.
Edit for typo

Why not just get the Canon EF 50mm f/1.4 USM? It's one hell of a lens.
