Yes, Tina, thats it indeed. But this one seems to be the worst case  
of the published 'streaked' images. :-(

On problem #2, I have been reading it is a problem with the raw  
converters' profiles, and it can be effectively cured on PP by now  
until a new profile will be available, especially for the phaseone soft.

I am waiting for mine, and I am really concerned by these probable  
sensor defects, as I shoot mainly in those situations when streaking  
is likely to appear, ie dark interiors with anarchic distribution of  
lights, under high ISOs. I was even thinking of delaying my order and  
wait to see if Leica issues a cure (hardware or software, not my  
business) for it.

PS: Great images, as always. Is that a Leica banner on the couch  
behind Molly Wade with Brian Bell's Sons in L1041300.jpg?
