Simulation of mechanical shutter
1

As I described here https://www.dpreview.com/forums/post/65887363 , using mechanical shutter will blur the banding. For f/2.8 and assuming shutter location 4 mm in front of the sensor plane we get a diameter of light cone of 4 mm / 2.8 = approximately 1.4 mm. Therefore, blurring caused by mechanical shutter would be roughly 1.4 mm / 24 mm = 5.8% of image height and 1.4 mm / 24 mm * 2000 = 117 pixels of the original image. Hence, I simulated how the image would look if a mechanical shutter was used by applying a linear blur of 117 pixels in vertical direction. I then applied layer mask around Yngwie, so he is not completely blurry. You can see results below.
