Great shots, thanks for posting. One really does seem to have a bit of "swirl
bokeh" which is rather tame and pleasant to me. I didn't know any Leica's
could do that. Is that a substantial crop?
I think vintage LF lenses were noted to do that in
some cases and paradoxically very small format lenses such as the possible
swirl bokeh KING Helios 44-2 58 F2. It is a near copy of a Zeiss Biotar and
till they became more popular could be had for 10 bucks. I put in a couple
snipes for a M42 mount but no luck as was out-sniped by a dollar or two.(things
too hectic of late to do much) I think they are more popular now and command a
higher price but still cheap. QA is lousy but a good copy renders some macro
shots very nicely. I think the swirl bokeh is pronounced stopped down a bit
with a distant background. I had a sec to search and found one quick example:

Not sure of the optical properties mediating that OOF rendering. Not sure even
Moose could simulate
good swirl bokeh in post. ;-)
