The last one is me, shot by a friend of mine. His first try ever with a rangefinder.
The Ultron 28/2 has alot of character and is sharp as hell wide open. I love the bokeh, which is on the edge of "harsh", but still not.
I used the Ultron 28/2 for a short week once, trying to use it as a normal lens on a G1. I loved the images, really liked the bokeh, and finally had to return it due to the problems with smeared edges and corners. Those Leica "offset" microlenses are a bless I assume.

The corners are not very sharp on M8, but OK for anything I do. I think there's some curvature of field too. Distortion is virtually absent on the APS-H sensor!
One of the oldies. Not sure if i've posted this before.
Not alternative. Canon EOS 40D with 85mm f/1.2L II near MFD
Notice the "bullseye" on the bokeh.

It was much more pronounced with my UE code copy of the 85L mkI - I have a very hard time provoking it with my mkII. As TWoK said, the potential for this kind of bokeh signature is related to having an aspherical element.
