So guys I've got the 5D, got the 24p update, but now I don't know exactly which direction to head towards for audio.

I've watched this REVIEW but this was before the new audio features.

So what is your audio setup for the 5D, and how does it fare?
 
For professional work I wouldn't rely on it, there's no way to monitor the audio. However if you connect a pre-amp, calibrate the levels on the MKII and monitor off the pre-amp, while not ideal it would be acceptable.

I have a zoom H4n and a juicedlink, I might split the signal out of the juicedlink and send it to the H4n and the MKII. I can monitor off the H4n and I'll have a backup of my audio.

This could be a good option- http://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/produ..._MIXPRE_Mixpre_Portable_2.html#specifications

I suspect Tramm is already busy working on a Magic Lantern update.

now about that zeiss 21mm.....

I find that going through the Juiced Link preamp with the camera gain turned way down offers really good quality sound. It sounds even better than before with the AGC disabler on.
