[Leica] I'd like to know what the "vertical line" is

[richard at richardmanphoto.com (Richard Man)]

Jon, I know some small sensors get them very badly but not sure about
larger (4/3 and up) sensors.

Frankly, it doesn't happen that often on the m9... with the 20,000+ shots I
took with the M9, and many are low light, bright bulb situations, I don't
think there are more than a small handful of these problems. I just took
this picture a few days ago so it is refresh in my mind when Jean-Michel
asked about it.

Basically, don't worry about it.
