White blurry line on photos 1Ds

[Ernie2]

I recently bought a used 1Ds online. I noticed that most photos come out with a white blurry line starting at the center and extending to the right. Depending on the amount of light, sometimes it is more evident than other times. I read that it could be caused by the shutter but I want to know if the reason could be the lens. It's a brand new 85mm 1.4 manual aspherical lens. Could the lens be the problems or is it strictly the body?

Could be a hair on the sensor, too. Post a sample.

Do post a sample.

If it is the 1Ds, it is not likely repairable.  You might want to look for a 1Ds Mk II.

OOF.  Try a different lens, but that doesn't look good.  I find it curious that the edges of the distortion are soft, it doesn't go all the way across the frame, and how it's a little curved along one edge..

What's most interesting is the black shape in the first picture that occludes even part of the bright bar. Whatever that piece is, it doesn't belong there at that time. If I had to guess, I'd say that the shutter mechanism is in the process of disintegrating.

100% sure a broken shutter.

"100% sure a broken shutter."

Sorry but Peter is correct.  It is toast.  It is probably not fixable either as the cost if you can find a new shutter will be more than another used camera.
