This lens does indeed provide that famous Leica "Glow". For some situations this lens has a unique signature very hard to replicat in PS and certainly not to everyones taste. First up is a window portrait of my daughter. This is a little less than half the negative as the original showed far more of the window in a landscape mode. http://gallery.leica-users.org/album167/VMARYWINDOWSMILINGPRINTADJU Second is a gray day shot with room to show the Summarit's unique signature in background detail at wider apertures. http://gallery.leica-users.org/album167/marybench Last for today is a shot taken while waiting at the airport. No stealth, just pick up the camera and shoot. http://gallery.leica-users.org/album167/waitinginlove The portraits were part of a series that will go into a painting so the unique glow was part of my plot to take some creative control away from the artist. Enjoy, take pictures, and certainly comment. Don don.dory@gmail.com
