Re: Panasonic 20mm 1.7 ii on epl-5

It is an odd issue that arises when using the 20mm lens with the newer Sony 16mpx Sensors. It is a well known issue, and even Olympus has commented on it that they will investigate the problem. Panasonic has also indirectly admitted it as in the GH3 (which uses the Sony sensor) manual, they state that there may be banding at higher ISOs with the Panasonic 20mm lens, and their solution is to use lower ISOs.

It didn't happen all the time with my PL5. I had some nice shots at + 1600 ISO with no banding at all. But other times, it ruined a whole set of pictures for me. I just got fed up with it and sold it.
