The Leica Look:

1.  A Sensor developed or has specifications by Leica.

2.  A Leica lens.

3.  A Leica camera.

4.  A film camera that shoots only film developed by Leica…!

Leica didn’t develop film that I know of.

Exactly my point.

Only a Leica digital camera with a sensor designed by Leica with a Leica lens can have the Leica look…!

You've got it all wrong. It's not the color rendering, it's the GLOW, man!

The glow is caused by lenses, not by the camera body, therefore it doesn't really matter 

Digital M bodies have an unique colour science, which people also consider as the Leica Look

If this was true, then the "Leica look" would only have been around since the latest releases of Leica cameras when they began using sensors designed by a Belgian Company named Cmosis. People have been talking about the Leica look for decades.

This evening I was walking along the boardwalk at the southernmost end of Puget Sound. A guy coming the other direction saw my Q3 and as he walked by he said, "Nice Leica." That's the Leica look.

That’s because what was true then is obsolescence today…!

This is the 999th post on "The Leica Look".
The look is determined by the lenses AFAIK, color science does not really contribute. It was in fact all the lens errors that made the Leica look famous.
Here is a deep and fruitful debate.

It’s up to 1,000…!

Errrr. Which particular Leica Look are we discussing?

A Leica digital with a sensor design by Leica…!

Poor digital monochrom users, robbed of everything.

This is the 'Leica look'.....

A man stands confidently, his attire a blend of classic and modern styles. He wears a fedora hat, its brim casting a subtle shadow over his face, giving him an air of mystery and sophistication. Slung across his shoulder is a high-end bag, its polished leather surface and sleek design indicating its expensive nature. In his hands, he carefully holds a Leica camera, known for its precision and quality, suggesting he has a keen interest in photography or perhaps is a professional photographer. His posture and accessories imply that he values quality and style, and is possibly someone who appreciates the finer things in life.

Just brilliant, thank you very much. Really tickled my ribs.

While Anbaric has transformed the prompt into image, I have asked AI directly about the Leica Look. ChatGPT-4o had this vision, must admit I am surprised it added some of that glow 😄:

I really haven't got the hang of this at all. I do prefer the unshaven, semi-vagrant look which deters people from coming up and say "Are you taking photographs?" .....

But surely that's Simenon's Commissaire Maigret?

Quite impressive!

He's on holiday during a break from filming the next series of 'The Fugitive'...

Those who argue with AI superiority will be the first ones to go in 2029.

Their sensors are designed and made for Leica.  They have to be made under the specifications that Leica suggests.  The color science results in the Leica look…!
