Leica M10-R + 35/1.4 Lux pre-asph. (all wide open)
Minimal post mostly using the M10-R color profile.Very nice! Is there a (rendering) comparison against the VM35/1.4 coming? 
The draw is pretty much identical at any distance (Leica 35/1.4 pre-asph vs CV 35/1.4 SC).
It's like shooting with the same lens.
The difference is the amount of SA correction between them where the Leica is noticeably lower in contrast and yields a much stronger glow. That's what's unique about the Leica compared to the Voigtlander. I tried lowering global clarity/contrast in post and but the Leica still has a unique look.I wonder if adding a BPM 1/4 or 1/2 filter would get the CV closer. Will be trying out the 1/4 on my CV 50 APO.
The Voigtlander 35/1.4 II SC is better corrected for SA in comparison to the lux. Yes, BPM filters can mimic the look but it's not quite the same thing. Perhaps BPM "1/2" or stronger would be needed. It really depends on how much one likes the effect. The glow is more noticeable for the Voigt under high contrast light while the Leica shows the effect in pretty much all images.

Fred, if your wife loves glowy lenses, maybe try the 80 Lux? Supposedly it has more glow than its 75mm sibling.

Here are some samples from the Voigtlander 35/1.4 II SC under high contrast light where glow is more accentuated.
It's more contrasty and better corrected than the Leica, so less 'dreamy'.
The SC version definitely allows more flare than the MC and the Leica performs similarly in this regard. Less distortion for the latter as well.

When I look at the CV photos you just posted, I can see what you're saying. Your Leica samples have a glow that reminds me of IR film, and that's clearly not there in the same way with the CV.

Hi Rich,
It easily has more to the point where it’s appreciable without zooming—files feel snappier on the 75 lux—when shooting below f2.8, I’ve tripod tested that at MFD, portrait and mid-distance between the 75 and 80.
I keep trying to convince Fred to get the 80 Lux

I have tried multiple iterations of Tiffen filters—including BPM 1/8 through 2 among others—and the filters are nice and great for taking the edge of modern glass, but you can’t get them to look like old Leica glass sadly. Would save me several grand. I have filtered 10-20 lenses now, including several CV’s, even stacking with different Tiffen combos, to the point where the CV images are similar or softer than the Luxes, but files lose their gentle richness and feel wonky, for lack of a better term, though you can get to a better spot with a fair amount of PP.
Edit: if anyone has any way, diffusion filters or PP or other, to get any current glass to look very similar to older Leica glass, please please please do share!

Thanks for sharing, Abandoned buildings are such a joy to photograph especially when there are areas of them that remain unmarked by the taggers.
A few years ago I was probably one of the last to photograph a building on the Alaskan Highway in northern British Columbia. I stopped and photographed. Sadly 6 weeks later when I stopped at the same location I didn't at first realize it was the same location as the main building and abandoned trailer accommodations attached had been set a blaze by someone and it burnt to the ground. All that was left was ashes and the memories and the pictures I took.

I enjoy just going for a drive and looking for them to photograph. It's amazing what you may come across on some old country roads or in this case a small little town with a fossil museum. They have 2 pits where they bring in loads of material from the coast close by and is free to dig and you keep what ever you fined. Mostly it's sharks teeth, but my grand kids like doing it and I just go to take pictures.
For the past 6 years or so we have driven past a very old farm house thats out in a farmers field that nature is reclaiming and I would stop and take pictures of it's condition and one day want to post them or maybe a little coffee table book.

Sorry for the late reply. I am away from home for a ski trip.
I default use it on 50APO to knock down some contrast. I love the effect, especially at night with light bulb or back light condition. I also have black satin for portrait. For generic use, I think BPM is better as it only has minimal penalty on sharpness.
You can google search tiffen diffusion triangle for the subtle difference. I bought black satin mainly because Queen’s Gambit use it for the whole series with Zeiss glasses. I love that effect.
