Don\'t feel that way. If we had more examples of bokeh you would begin to see the difference. I never paid much attention to this until the last few years when the folks on the Leica User Forum began posting examples of exemplary bokeh. One of the top lenses for bokeh is the Leica Noctilux, granted I wouldn\'t pay thousands just for the bokeh it offers but some do. Those guys shriek when they see Zeiss bokeh.
Here\'s another example using the Elmarit. On the second Seagull shot I intentionally softened the image in post-processing. Although I softened this shot the bokeh would have still been harsher around the edges if shot with a Zeiss. https://www.fredmiranda.com/forum/topic/821326
I wouldn\'t so far as saying that Leica lens images are flat but Zeiss almost always offers crisper contrast, which does play a decisive factor in the 3D effect, IMHO.
