5D does not have microfocus adjustment. putting an f1.4 lens from a 3rd party manufacturer is just asking for AF headaches on the 5D.

The dock can be used to MFA the lens at different shooting distances to be able to more accurately MFA the lens than with just the body MFA.

that is indeed a good point, if he buys the Dock.  I have never used one, so dont know the effectiveness of it.

The 5D has an OK focus system to start with, not a great one.  having owned all 3 iterations of 5d, there was a huge jump in accuracy and percision of AF with fast lenses with 5d3. but thats not what the OP is asking.
