leica glow?

[Costo Kim]

gaussian blur?

 

[varjag]

No, a smudge on your cameraphone lens.

 

[Sparrow]

condensation, maybe?

 

[Roger Hicks]

How about '3D'?

Who cares as long as it's a good pic? (And it is.)

Cheers,

I made a lens do that by flipping the rear module around. Center sharp, with a fast walk-off.

 

[varjag]

This one is not center sharp.

This shot of a rather well known painting by Gerhard Richter seems to capture the essence of the painter's style. I don't really see much evidence of Leica or other lens.....
But it is a good photo!

Agreed that this photo is not center-sharp, over-all soft. I've seen a Monocle Lens do that, made one in an I-61 mount that was RF coupled.

 

[mervynyan]

let's be honest, it is not in focus-🙂

 

[softshock]

Looks like a Vivitar Series 1 1,9 wide open; Too soft and not in focus!

 

[gilpen123]

Summilux pre asph wide open and soft.....

 

[Colin Corneau]

Blur is not glow.

Gil

From where I sit your photo appears decently sharp in some areas but not the face. I think the point of focus is behind the eyes.

[gilpen123]

It's on the tip of the nose Bob if I remember right.

 

[LeicaFoReVer]

expired film + smudged vaseline on filter and out of focus 🙂

 

[valdas]

i sold the "glow" lenses, bought ones that are fine even wide open 🙂

When people have a cold, everything they eat pretty much tastes the same.

The OP had mashed peas and thought it might be meat loaf.

 

[crawdiddy]

I say it's front-focused.

I always thought fabled Leica glow was flare, lots of Russian lenses do it.
