Are you using a bloom filter? These look more like film than most in the way the highlights are acting.
No I don’t, the Heliar produces quite some halation/bloom and all sort of effects on lights and highlights(and on everything), it’s never twice the same I feel. I kinda like lenses that have at least the possibility to give some light bloom to surfaces under lighting or lights themselves, that’s why I sometimes even prefer the Nokton 50mm 1.2 to the Zeiss Sonnar ZM despite the latter having more character.
I tried a bloom filter once, probably not enough to have a clear sense of that kind of gear but I was not fond of it. I like it better when the lens produces most of what I want.
The photos are edited though and sometimes I play to have that kind of low contrast flare or too high contrast film effect but if it is regarding the highlights only and their behavior, it’s all the Heliar.

Your shots with the 50/1 make me second guess shooting my Mitakon speedmaster on GFX when I could get close to the same look without all the hassle and weight
