Why does this photo show 'banding' in the out of focus areas?

Doesn't appear to be (typical) 'Colour Banding'.

I downloaded the large file from Flickr and the OoF areas present as over processed by some method.

It would assist further analysis and advice to view the JPEG SOOC and also an exact inventory of the Post Processing of the Image.

The original was a CR3 file. I used first curtain electronic shutter.

Thanks for replying Bill. I have solved the problem. I bought the lens a few weeks ago second hand. It came with a Kenko UV filter. Took the filter off and the combo works great. Just did a test with the combo plus a Sigma 2x extender. Hand held got a good result. Would show image but flickr is giving me problems.

I had some problems with flickr but they appear to be fixed.

Interesting.

I had a similar issue with some GND filters. It looks like the dying process was stepwise, rather than continuous. Under certain lighting and post-processing conditions, I would get fine bands in my images due to the manufacturing process Lee filters was using at the time.
