Ah okay, I'll increase the clarity and see what happens. I agree with the angle of light. I had 20mm of shift and 10mm of rise when conducting the test. The 23mm S had significant cut off at this amount of movements but I did it to see if there were any areas of issue.
I can't see any banding on any of the lenses I tested at normal exposure, however when I increase the clarity to 100% the banding is visible in the top left corner of (20mm shift and 10mm rise) all the lenses I tested, it is significantly more noticeable on the 23mm S Rodenstock. It is also more noticeable on the 38mm XL Schnieder.
Personally I would never introduce this amount of clarity into my own images, but that's not to say some people do and the real question is should you be able to or not.
My guess is that like many of the artefacts that are in digital files the manipulation of the image causes them to be more noticeable in certain situations. Not ideal but it is the nature of the technology. I still think this is the best digital back I've used and I shoot predominantly on a Phaseone IQ3100 on my Techno.
My work around would be not use clarity beyond 20% and perhaps never on skies, again not ideal.
Hope this helps.
