This does not answer your specific question, but I went from the FD system to the EOS in the early '90's. I have the original EF designs of the 50/1.8, 100 macro and 24 tilt&shift purchased in the mid-90's. They all properly function with my 5D Mark IV, though their analog designs may not give the best results with my digital body. I don't use these enough to justify trading up to newer versions.

The only lens I have that doesn't work on the 5D IV, or on a Mark III, is a Sigma 400/5.6 APO macro HSM. It focuses, but (usually though not always) does not allow the shutter to fire, giving an "ERR 01" message. Still works on the A2 film body. FWIW.

EF lenses are guaranteed to work on any Canon dSLR ever made. EF-S lenses are not. That being said, I am pretty sure all EF-S mount lenses work on all crop cameras to date. I think there is something wrong with the OP's lens.
