Thanks everyone for your answers,

ALKOS: yes, thats the same band as in my pictures. Yours looks to be almost invisible, I guess you are more lucky than I am :)

I've done some more research and it seems to be some trouble with scanner itself, because I've done recalibration and tried several types of film processed in 3 different labs and bands are vidible in all of them. It is most visible on a light blue sky or grey clouds.

IMHO, if it would be some problem on film, bands should be in the same area of frame regardless of film orientation in holder. So I turned film upside down and position of bands in picture did changed. They are in exactly same place of scanned picture in both cases.

I went to vendor and tried scanning on another 5400 II, and it's still there although it's less noticable.

It looks to me that this problem is presented more or less in every 5400 II.

I wonder if Nikon Coolscan V is capable to scan without these bands.

Hello,

I have new Minolta Elite 5400II scanner and I found on almost every

picture scanned from negative film some horizontal darker (looks to

me like dark yellow or something) color bands.

Sample at http://www.tpresident.cz/pic1.jpg (150k)

Same sample with highlighted areas with color bands

Please, does anybody know what might be the cause of this problem?

I've also tried scanning some slides with perfect results and no

color bands.

Tested with Silverfast, Vuescan and Minolta SW, all the same.

Thanks

Radovan
