The Leica glow thing is a myth.  You can achieve that "glow" with other lenses or lighting.

   I won't say Leica glow is a myth,  it does exist due to some optical (mis)behaviors that's unique in Leica lens design philosophy.  Under ambient light,  try any average Japanese glass,  包你影唔出. Even if you intentionally try to "create" it with artificial light the effect you get will not be quite like the Leica style.  It is because japanese lens makers tend to "flat out" the dark/bright transition.  With one exception : the discontinued Japanese Zunow,  which has become a collector's name with its 50mm standard lens now costs close to, if not more than,  a brand new Honda Civic.

With Ziess,  the Sonnar 50 f/1.5 is probably the only Zeiss that I have seen can produce comparable intensity of glow under ambient light.   However,  the sonnar also inherits some typical Zeiss characters that make its images very different from that of a Leica.

Right, I don't mean an average Japanese glass. What I wanted to say is that the Leica glow is not something that's very specific to the Leica brand.  It's just an artifact that's based on the lens design and production and any other brand can make the same lenses with the same specifications.  As for character, each lens is slightly different and I personally wouldn't own any of the Leica glass except the Noctilux f1 and Summilux 75mm. But since it's such a good investment, now I just keep buying and putting them in my drawers.

50mm sonnar is my favorite

imvitasoy

I like sonnar too.   I already have a 40 sonnar otherwise would have considered a ZM sonnar 50/1.5

Great Zeiss shots of yours :   tack-sharp and high contrast.  See if I can find some pix of 50 lux later,  will post some here.

I personally do not prefer 75 lux because it is midway between the amazing 50 lux and outstanding 90 cron,  有的兩頭唔到岸感覺。 However I agree it's one of Leica's best worth lenses.

Noct is good idea.  But at its price I would desperately want a K 仔 instead.
Oh,  did you hear that there's a HK-designed 50 f/0.95 M-mount lens upcoming ?   Steve Huff has a first look at it.

You got the Rollei 40mm sonnar? It's my favorite lens for street.

I like the Noct f1 not because of speed, so I don't really care about the HK f0.95 lens.

When I borrowed the 75mm lux from my friend, I shot at f2.4 - f2.8 most of the time.
