No issue with banding on the 5D with a variety of Canon lenses at any 
ISO. I have some of the lenses mentioned in the report. I don't have 
Leica R lenses, but I do use Nikon MF lenses with an adapter, and 
that should perform similarly w.r.t. the banding.

I believe the only Leica R lenses which have problems on the 5D are 
the new 19 and 15, and the older Minolta designed 16 and 24. None 
should have problems on the 1D versions, as they have a smaller 
mirror. Tina or Nathan would know.
