Steve, 

I am experiencing exactly the same problem. It happens in the shadow 
areas (80%-up). It looks almost like a solarizing effect.
I posted a message about that  a month ago. Since then I didn't find 
a solution. I checked step by step all my settings according to Pauls 
workflow, I am using a Nikon 4000 scanner and I don't see those 
problems on the monitor when I blow up the picture.(so it is rather 
not a scanning problem). I am absolutely sure that it is something 
that I am doing wrong here, since so many people a very happy with 
the set. 
The problem is I don't know what. I was using the Original MIS set 
before and apart that it was a bit too warm for me I had never 
experienced those things then. I really love the Neutral tone of the 
VM set and I don't want to go back but this shadow problem is making 
my nights sleepless.
I remember that a few months ago someone on this list was describing 
a similar problem but I couldn't find his message on the archives.
Any help or suggestions from the listmembers are appreciated.
Steve let me know when You solve the problem,

Piotr Janowski
