This is not the banding we were talking about. The banding phenomenon
of the LS-8000 occurs only on that particular scanner and makes
pictures look a bit like inkjet prints from a printer with clogged
nozzles.

By "x" I mean the short side of the 35mm frame. All striping and
banding I have seen so far was in the "y" direction.
I can only speculate what the problem with your scanner is -- a loose
mirror or lens. I guess it sometimes has trouble calibrating itself,
and will refuse to accept film strips as a result?
