The best camera is one that still works!
We have a thread dedicated to bokeh in the optics sub forum which is supposedly dedicated more to technical discussions than actual images ... started by Roland in 2007. I thought it was time for a refresh!
I got the Sony A7ii I bought very recently mainly so I could put my treasured OM Zuiko 50mm f1.2 on it with a thirty dollar adapter to admire the crazy bokeh it produces ... and it didn't disappoint me!

That out of focus really is crazy. The photos are lovely.

It can be great fun making these type of images with the A7II and various lenses. Here is one with the Helios 44-3.

I'm not sure about the "class" part since this is comparatively a low-priced lens. It's the 7Artisans 35/0.95 in Fuji mount. I bought it a few years back and I honestly haven't found much use for it but I like the way things look in this shroud of bokeh...uh, maybe just general unsharpness.
The hard part is getting anything at all in focus....

Canon 50mm F0.95, with Canon 7 Breechlock adapter on the Nikon Z5. First lens I used with it.
It's sharper on Digital than it was as I remembered it on film. "Brain Fart"- the Depth of Field of the formed image is less than the thickness of color film. SO- this lens is better on digital. Best $200 lens I've bought.

A7ii Nikkor 50 1.2 on a tripod using remote release:
My resizing didn't help it any, IMO.
Stopped down to the first detent after 1.2, which is unmarked by I assume is 1.4, not sure:
There's a reason this lens sits mostly unused on my shelf.

How about some dreamy thorium goodness from a Nikkor 35 1.4:
I hope I don't glow in the dark from using it.

Thanks for letting me play this afternoon. Some of these lenses haven't seen the light of day for way too long.
