The Legendary Kodak Sensor in the M9 Had a Problem No One Talks About

I've often been one of the journalists who speaks about the colors and the way that the images from the Leica M9 always felt. But I've also been one of the very few going beyond that to discuss how the Leica S2 also was in the same boat. That camera was basically a medium format Leica M9 -- and how can you beat that? Well, in 2026 I've been reindexing my archives of images that I've made over the past 20 years. With that, I've been able to find and catalog the images I made in 2012 with the Leica S2. And I've found a problem that no one else seems to know how to talk about -- and it's not the ISO noise.
