Tom,
Are you using any ND filters? Any recommendations for cityscape shots as to shutter settings for the 5d2?

For daytime stuff a high-quality, powerful ND is good, along with dropping ISO to 100. Very fast shutter speeds and/or high f-stop numbers can cause flickering.

At night I would strongly advise against using any filters of any kind, because of issues with ghosting.
