Re: IS your KM7D showing banding on the left side of the sensor at high iso?

I can't see any banding either .

I like my Dynax 7d as well and still use it occasionally , however you need manage your expectations with 19 year old technology .

Sensors have come on a long way since them , and ISO's of 1600 were very high then , 3200 should only be used for extreme cases . I don't use the d7d above ISO 400 .

My Sony a100 from 2006 was the same .

ISO 100 to 200 were great . 400 was the usual maximum . 800-1600 gave poor results and 3200 needed to be converted to black and white and coarser than Ilford 3200 film !

I think it's just the usual high ISO noise your looking at and perhaps your eyes are joining the dots ?

If I stare at the last image long enough I can see what appears to be a faint "Y" written on the wall in red crayon .

So it's hard to say what your seeing .
