Lenses with the most "character"?

[Samsam]

tbarker13, i have a friend who owns a preasph summilux, i saw pics on barite paper taken with this lens, the tones have this old leica look in b&w, and the bokeh is one of the best i've seen.

Schorki, i agree with you, the summicron preasph has a really good 3D effect, but i miss a less progressive bokeh. Even at f/2, there isn't much bokeh, i'm thinking about switching to a Summilux preasph ( already have a 35mm ASPH and a Summicron preasph ) , what do you think ?

The Summilux preasph 35mm seems to have more character ( less progressive bokeh ?, "glow" @ 1.7 ) than the summicron preasph. If you were me, would you choose the summilux preasph or keep the summicron ?

jackal2513, I really like the third photograph. I don't think it has much to do with the lens though.

Ok, thanks for the information. I'll update my records. 😛
