The 5D was noticeably sharper, but the moire was also much more pronounced. I've never used the Smoothcam filter and was pleasantly surprised by how well it worked.

cool thanks for the footage. With a stop down or ND I bet you could have gotten better DR in the first AF100 shot, the highlights got lost. I love those FDs, their low contrast nature are kind to highlights and DR.

AF100 constantly overexposed.
Yes the 5D looked sharper in this first scene, but it was already kind of contrasty while the AF100 cine-D setting would have left a lot of room for grading. If you add contrast it will automatically look sharper and we can be sure the AF100 has more resolution than the 5D.

FD lenses look smooth, nice.

Smoothcam is a great tool.

why does 5dmkii seem to have more vibrant/pleasing colors and higher dynamic range?

In the 1st scene with the water fountain , the AF100 footage's black level is too high, so the image appears washed out.
