Dear Magic Lantern forum members,

I recently purchased a refurbished Canon 5D Mark III and updated the firmware to 1.2.1 without realizing that ML hasn't updated to that version.  I checked out some other threads and Canon's website to find that I am unable to download a previous version of the firmware.

Questions:

ETA for ML upgrade for 1.2.1 for Mark III?
Is it possible to downgrade a firmware to an earlier version?  Does someone have a copy they can e-mail me?
Suggestions?

Thanks!

Problem Solved!

Found the old 1.1.3 Firmware version for Canon 5D Mark III here:

Downgraded the firmware from 1.2.1 to 1.1.3 without a problem, formatted my SD card, downloaded ML files and booted it up just fine!

Time to Play!
