And here is mine. I only see it in HDR images (5 different exposures +/- 1EV). But it is definitely an issue with the D800E and landscapes. I initially thought that this is a lens flare type issue, but I found it with other lenses and other lighting circumstances as well. Note both the round and straighter bands (and the sensor spot).RVB, I experienced that same structured sky look with some photos I took with my D800E recently. I was not sure what to attribute it too, and I am not sure I looked at it at full rez. So, is that officially "banding" or is it banding like?
Experts weigh in?
I can pull up one of mine for examination as well... 28mm 1.4D/D800E Note, i did add the vignetting top corners.
What software are you using to convert the raw file? Are you shooting compressed, compressed-lossless, or uncompressed RAW? Do you have Nikon's auto vignetting correction on or off? Finally, describe your workflow, specifically what color spaces you are using from capture through output?And here is mine. I only see it in HDR images (5 different exposures +/- 1EV).

The D800E captures in Adobe RGB, but I don't think that this has any effect on the colorspace. Import in LR5 is in ProPhoto.Finally, describe your workflow, specifically what color spaces you are using from capture through output?

Makes sense - see 5 Dropbox links below:
I'd suggest that you make the five RAW files downloadable.
In that way the knowledgeable post-processing gurus here will easily and quickly be able to see if there is something wrong with the RAW captures, or if it's just a problem with the compression of the merged HDR file.
