Are we only talking about RF lenses? If not, there is always the Minolta 135 STF...

and Contax 85mm 1.4 (C/Y) and Canon EF 100mm 2.8 macro (non USM)...

Well, are those also explicitly built to have good bokeh? The STF has some sort of "anticenterfilter" near its aperture (actually, its two apertures) to produce that gauss-style-blurryness.

the Canon 50mm/f 1.5 lens is bokeh friendly.

I'm not sure they were biuld with that intention in mind (I seriously doubt it), but they have beautiful bokeh. I regret selling Canon 100 f2.8, but I was departing from AF SLR...
