Whoops.
I just posted to previous thread, suggesting the mirror clean.
So guess that wasn't it. Sorry.
Btw, do you see the streaking in a non-multisample scan?
I don't really understand WHAT is moving in there doing
multisample, but if you don't see it on 1x scan, perhaps it's more a
mechanical wear of the movement not aligning perfectly anymore
rather than actual CCD "aging"?
Of course, even if you determine that's the case, would need
servicing I suppose, so may be moot.
