Weird colration problem with Nikon 50mm f/1.8D with D90

[pinholeview]

I was at dealer trying to buy a 50mm f1.8D for a friend, and 2 sets of lenses produced the same problem on my D90: yellow/brown bands of coloration on images shot at f/1.8 to f/2.2. Looks like as if I was using graduated filter

My D90 was using a newly-formatted 8GB Ultra II; cam set to Aperture Priority, matrix metering, no compensation, ISO 400 (with shutter speed around 1/500-1/640 sec), center-point focusing, RAW+JPEG or JPEG. I do not have such problem with my 18-200 or Tokina 12-24.

Anybody has any idea why? See images below for samples:

Its most likely due to the flicker of the flourescent lighting. What shutter speed were you using? To avoid this, you can use a slower shutter speed so that it can record the image with a complete lighting cycle.. perhaps 1/50 or 1/60.

Really? Interesting. The issue arises at 1/200, 1/320, 1/500 and 1/640, but sometimes it doesn't happen at these speed. You could be right, but its the first time I'm experiencing this. Very odd indeed.
