I cann't open the picture (my pc software probably)
I've seen banding when using a polariser shot with a wide lens not sure if that helps.

I've just downloaded your file and opened it in ACR via PS-CS5.
I can see no banding at all.
I've played around with exposure, brightness, contrast etc. Nada.
By 'banding', do you mean the sky colour changing from white'ish at left, to blue at right?

You've overexposed the sky a bit - the blue and green channels are clipping a bit at the bright end. Hence the blue on the right, cyan in the middle, white on the left.
I suppose you could call it three bands in that sense, that merge into one another.
Is that what you mean?
I used to get it all the time on the K10D, it drove me crazy until I got used to exposing for sky, not foreground. The K-5 is much better in that regard.

There was obvious banding in the sky when I first opened it on my netbook. Zoomed in and then out -- and the banding disappeared. It looks like a screen thing.

Opened your file in Pentax Dig.Cam.Utility 4 - banding very obvious.
I have seen this effect before but for the life of me, at the moment, I cannot remember where.
Must be a senior thing!

Using the Picasa viewer, I get that too, which is indeed horrible. Picasa is a bit funny with DNGs, though - it wouldn't display K-5 ones properly at all till recently, so heaven knows what it does with them.I opened it too and the banding was there initially (Picasa viewer) then the colours changed themselves and the banding went away after a second or so.
I can't believe that's what Mike's seeing - the clipping is bad enough

No banding here. I wonder whether it's an aliasing artifact when the image is displayed at an odd fraction of native resolution.
It looks to me like there's enough headroom left in the RAW file to recover from the clipping, if it bothers you. I've noticed the K-5 RAW files can cope with about one stop of clipping before things start getting messy, but then I normally enable highlight correction.
