Leica lenses may give their most characteristic "look" when wide open, it's then you'll see the bokeh at its most pronounced. 35/1.4, completely usable. 50/1, defines the Noctilux "look". 75/1.4, a look all of its own, 90/2, glorious colour and bite. Stop down and you lose it to some degree.

 

The aperture you use is part of your creative tool-box and what sets Leica apart is their fast lenses, the Summiuxes (now down to 2, sadly) and the Summicrons (5, if my counting is working).
