The ultimate Bokeh thread; pics please

and one more, same lens:

i know...just utterly hideous and jarring, eh? :D

I really wonder how that 'rumor' got started. I've had three Leica ASPH lenses (50, and both 35s). Never saw a bad bit of bokeh from any of them. And, in fact, i preferred it to most other lenses.

I remember seeing someone's test/comparison — between one of the 35ASPHs and the pre-ASPH Type IV, i think. The Version IV actually showed the more confusing, double-line/nissen out of focus rendering.... King? Not so much.

'they' compared it only with V2 and V3 which 'they' detest for their bookeh. In comparisons with the ASPH, the ASPH gives more pleasing pictures compared to V4, also in bookeh
 
Not sure where is bokeh on some of the shots above, but anyway, here is one from Nikkor LTM 5cm/1.5 w/close focus:
