The ultimate Bokeh thread; pics please

RayPA, those are nice. The CV 35/1.2 looks very similar to the 35/1.4 Aspherical Summilux: clean without being sterile. Lovely.

I agree, Kevin. I think that comes out especially with the color.

I fully agree with Jbf, although this is no voting thread, I vote for this one!

Thanks, one more in the same direction...

In the wrong place at the wrong time...

How true! I always thought 'swirly' bokeh was something to avoid. 😀

I like the bokeh in my Rolleiflex (Zeiss Planar 75mm f/3.5)

I'm not all that into the macro look, but sometimes I get a satisfying image. Love the bokeh in this one.

While I did not get the main subject quite as sharp as I would like (focus point the nearest top edge of the glass) I love the soft bokeh of the box in the background. Not shot with a rangefinder this time but with a Pentax SMC 85mm F1.8 shot wide open mounted on a Panasonic L1. The limited DOF is shown by the fact that already the back edge of the glass rim and the stem of the glass are both well out of focus.
