    No mate - no way !!!
    You don't have a grubby sensor - it's stains on the roadway & flies in the skies

    Turn the camera upside down when you are taking the shot and then they won't be so noticeable.

    Yep, gotta do something about those ugly white streaks down the middle of the frame. Ruins a beautiful landscape shot!

    I thought it was some artistic licence happening, adding realism to the scene?

    And yeah, the d3s has self clean as well as the d300s which I have

    The d3 is a shocker and as I'm often in the field shooting sport and changing lenses I'm really not that careful

    A $90 clean yesterday and all is fine

    the other alternative would have been semi retirement of the D3 and confined to coal mine photography only ...... and get either a D3s or D4 to replace the D3's old workload.
