The ultimate Bokeh thread; pics please

[DNG]

I just recently bought a J9 Circa 1953, (85mm f/2 Sonnar Clone for the Kiev RF)
This is a few gifts under the Xmas Tree....
I wanted to see how it handled OOF areas at the MFD (1.5m)
From the focused corner of the green gift, to the white ball on the Santa Cap is 11.5"

I think think photo also shows a nice 3d effect.

I know this isn't "good" bokeh, but it suits me just fine.

Same lens on my F3 loaded with Ektar 100, also probably at f/2.8

Canon 50/1.4 and Nikkor 50/1.4 LTMs compared:

Some bokeh from an ultra-large-format standard lens (takes 112mm filters!) on a "normal" large-format (rangefinder) camera:

Once upon a tree (or three)

(Rodenstock APO Sironar-S 360mm f/6.8, Ilford HP5+ in 4x5in size, Linhof Technika V)​

The DOF control with camera movements is exquisite - I could balance the bottom-right detail with the top-left detail, even though they are not at all the same distance from the camera.

Beautiful, I love the rendering.
