How peculiar. I've used this lens on occasion in the past and I don't remember anything like this. What camera was this taken with? Is it an APS-C? Of course I can't say anything with any certainty, but I suspect this effect may be due to the way extraneous light bounces around in front of the sensor. _________________

Very often people think that, but it is not the same. Filters, diffusors, nylons, all that brings darkness into the light.
But the real glow is bringing the light into the darkness, a subtle but very important difference this is!!
A lens which has this ability cannot be replaced by any other means.... _________________ Klaus - Admin

There are special soft focus lenses which often have an adjustable "glow" effect.

BTW, the glow effect in that beautiful Venice picture is due to the HDR toning that has been applied. I have had similar glow effects in some of my HDR work.
Not the best examples of glow but all I could find without doing a lengthy search of my hard drives:
Sankor 2.8/35 on Sony a850:
Mamiya SX 2.8/28 on Sony a850:

Although OP suggests that the image is the result of glowing by lens, I believe the picturesque effect was obtained by post-processing through manipulation of tones. This is very clear when you compare the histogram of the photo presented with the histogram of another picture. The original image histogram has basically only one peak in dark tones, and then decays gradually. Note how the highlights have been strongly compressed. In a more normal photo, the histogram has multiple peaks for various tones, and does not suffer from an artificial compression of the highlights.

reversing the front lens may lead to extrem swirly effect and/or the blur effect here after:

disassembling the front element to remove only the second lens gives a kind of monocle effect:

#3
All those effects can be trimmed when the diaphragm is closed ...

I originally thought it was due to being a poor quality lens but with hindsight I think it was an "effect" lens as I bought that and a 135mm 2.5 Fujinon from an old wedding tog on ebay. _________________ Sony A7iii.
