<IDLE SPECULATION> This sounds to me like the old (LS30 'jaggies') Nikon 
stepper-motor foibles in a different guise, perhaps another resonance 
issue which occurs when exposure is prolonged. Maybe Ed will be able to 
alter timings in VS, as with the LS30... </IDLE SPECULATION>

No banding problems here, ever, with a SS4000.
