Hello.
Yes my zeiss-opton is a contax lens. Taken on M9 with Amedeo's Contax-Leica adapter. Brilliant build I can say.

Taken with my imperfect sonnar (-clone), heavily scratched Topcor 5cm:
(sorry, no "bokeh" to show
The Topcor is not a sonnar.
"As the owner of the trademark "Sonnar" uses the term for a whole series of lenses, including some pretty clear Gaussian types like the ZM 2.0/85 for the Zeiss-Ikon RF camera, it's hard to define what makes a Sonnar in a clear optical sense. With regards to design history a Sonnar-type is a triplet derivated, high speed objective consisting of a small number of optical groups (preferable two) and at least one cemented group of three elements."

Having said that, a quick check on the Topcor lens configuration shows that it looks more like a Summar-clone So I stand corrected.
"It is just a lens, stupid!" (Oops, I can hear my xi-fu scolding me liao.:sweatsm

both taken on the m4-p with CZJ Sonnar (WWII screw mount lens).
Great shot
I am now bitten by the sonnar bug too, with my cz c-sonnar staying permanently glued to my zi.

Which 35mm lens most approximates this kind of an feel? I know there is a Rollei Sonnar f/2.8 -- but I really want something wider.

That is flare i think. I would not be surprised -- even the most flare resistant lens would have problems in adverse lighting like in a restaurant, with the light source very close to the camera and oblique to it. This is the only one in the latest set.
Interesting observation about the noir look. I believe that you need to get the exposure of the main subject spot on -- else everything can fall apart.
