You need bright light (from behind you, not backlit)

Apologies for veering off the subject matter of the thread but can you expand on that?  It's just that I've taken plenty of shots backlit which have produced fantastic 'glow'.  If there are rules here, I'd be interested to know what they are.  I'm not disputing what you say, just looking to improve my knowledge.  Thanks.

Question for those with this lens: I’m considering the new SR re-release, but I’m concerned about the vignetting that is seen when the filter and hood are mounted at the same time, as seen from Fred Miranda’s posts. For those with older versions of the lens, how crucial is having that filter (or I guess, since many can’t get a filter on the lens, how crucial is not having a filter)? Do many not use a hood either? I’d consider either of: not using the hood, but with a filter, or not use a filter, but with a hood.

I have the new lens (SR reissue) and I didn't experience vignetting with filter and hood...I checked several times and it I exactly the same with and without the hood...

Im using a very thin Urth filter.

See a few example shot with filter and hood on a film MP

Are you testing this wide open? I have tried two copies of the SR 'reissued' and can confirm with certainty that filter + rounded hood causes 'hard vignetting'. The hood was not designed to be used in combination with a filter which is a shame. (thin ones will also be an issue)

The workaround is to find a third party 46mm hood made for wide angle lenses. I've tried a few and they all worked great with a filter attached.

yes tested wide open, you can see the glow on the picture with the bridge ass well as the Christmas tree. Also the bath picture is wide open.

maybe it's because I used it on film rather than digital (apart from the Christmas tree)?

I don't know if it makes any difference but my lens was produced on November 22nd

If you can, please do a quick test shooting a clear sky wide open with and without the filter. I would not think this is related to lens production batch.

I was curious so I just took 2 pictures of a wall. No tripod os they might be slightly different but gives the idea.

First is without hood, the second one is with filter and hood. Shot on a M10M

Well, you can certainly take a backlit shot that glows if there is still light hitting the subject just right. But usually this lens is shot backlit to produce the flare and ring effect. All are possible, just not as easy.

Point was you need some nice highlights and contrast to bring out the most glow.

This is too underexposed to tell anything about the corner vignetting.
