"Act of Valor" movie and Canon 5D MKII

Apparently, all of the principal photography of the movie, "Act of Valor" was shot using Canon 5D MKII camera bodies and Zeiss ZF (with adapters) and Panavision Primo lenses, along with Canon primes.

Here's another article about it. They also used live ammo!

Saw the movie last weekend..absolutely amazing. And the fact that they shot it with Canons? very cool. Even though I'm a Nikon guy it's pretty cool to see. Bravo!

I saw the movie, and one thing I came away with, is that the Seals you can see, are not necessarily the most dangerous ones.

Great, and inspiring film.

I really liked their river boats.
