Yep, Try Something other than Adobe for RAW conversion

I actually get something similar but not with every shot. I think it has something to do with Lightroom. If I use DPP and save as tiff and import into Lightroom the issue goes away.

First, the circular ring pattern does not look like something a camera could do.

Second, time and again on this forum, people have found that Adobe's raw converter has serious problems, particularly with low light noise.

Thrid, definitely try DPP4 and get a "baseline reading."

Fourth, give DxO PureRAW or PL4 with DeepPrime a try (free trial and often sale).  It is widely recognized as the best RAW converter for reducing noise while preserving detail.  In my tests, DxO can be good for 2 to 3 stops over Adobe Camera RAW, which is just ridiculous. Adobe is not even trying with their RAW converter.
