Its not a missing MD cap as someone suggested.. the leak is occurring at 
the bottom of the picture which would correspond to the top of the camera 
back. Remember that the image of a scene is focussed upside down and wrong 
way round when looked at from the back. It would therefore correspond most 
likely to a light leak through the foam seal.
