01af Posted January 25, 2011 Share #21 Posted January 25, 2011 Advertisement (gone after registration) Pre-asph Summilux 35, f/5.6. Would you call this "Leica glow"? No. Instead, I'd call this "a nice crispness which might be what's left from the 'Leica glow' after downsizing to web size but might just as well just come from proper sharpening".

I have a larger one here. Same sharpening as usual. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
cheewai_m6 Posted January 26, 2011 Share #23 Posted January 26, 2011 i've always understood the 'leica glow' refers more to the over quality of the photo. just something special about the mood the lens renders. not really about a literal glow.
