I still think our Mark II's are still holding up against the "new kids on the block"

I'd like to know as well.
It's backordered at the moment, so I'm guessing it has its fans.
Just surprised not to hear anything about it.

I hate to beat the poor guy up, but man talk about missing a golden opportunity. I've said it several times. The odds of me ordering one not knowing if it's gonna be two months before I actually get it slim. The odds of me doing it with a new version of the camera coming out that doesn't need it, pretty close to none.

Well, it should still be applicable to just about any removable lens camera, the architecture needs to be slightly modified though.
If the 5D series filter is nolonger in high demand (as one might assume with the 5DIII improvements), they could just as easily find use for it in other cameras.
But as in-camera technology improves in the coming years, it will seem like an unnecessary accessory for any new camera.
For now, those who plan on keeping their 5DII's, this may be a more worthwhile investment to consider over purchasing a new camera.

"That doesn't surprise me. Film festivals are interested more in content and execution than what the film was shot on"

As are film audiences.

Why we diverge on this is I do care about the quality of the image. I wish I typically had the budget for a Red, or even better an Alexa, or even BETTER to shoot on 35mm film. I don't, at least not yet. The MK2 and eventually the MK3, most probably because they are FF sensors and because of the way the way Canon renders colors, give me an image I aesthetically like for some reasons I can describe and some I can't even put into words. It has issues, I work around them because overall I like the look a lot.

In a somewhat shameless plug, we shot this in one day for a couple hundred bucks. Look at those dark interiors. A little soft, maybe, but I just love the overall feel of them. The exteriors, not as much, not the camera's strength.

Edit: I'll add, not happy with the color correction on this. I had to get it out in a rush and didn't have time to make the editor re-do it. Using a color specialist on the actual series.
