Just to back up the debate about banding: the shots below are taken with the epl5 and new 20mm 1.7 and show banding at ISO 1600 & 3200.

Yes, you have the banding problem too.  The 20mm is such a nice lens, but it is extremely disappointing and annoying that it has this banding fault with many of the m4/3 bodies.

The only reason I bought the 20mm was for low light shots street photography when I travel and because of its small size.  That is precisely where it fails.  There was a lot of hope that Panasonic would fix the version II when it came out, but they didn't.  They have known about this problem for a long time.
