I've been fortunate not to get noticeable banding with my 35mm Widelux 
(nor with the Horizon). I don't see how film thickness could have any 
effect.

Usually it gets pretty frequent exercise, but I hadn't used the Widelux 
for a year or so (the Horizon is much nicer to use in most ways) and I put 
a few films through it this Summer without problems.

Is the banding only at one speed - I don't use the slowest one much.
