^^ Nice. Do I see slight swirl in Pic 1? Or am I just seeing things? And a nice transition in Pic 3.

Yes, there is a hint of a swirl, it's just tends to be not very prominent on a slow aps-c lens.




That'll be helpful when you want some swirl, but don't want it to detract from the main subject.

I found Minolta MC Rokkor-PF 55mm F1.7 to be outstanding in the bokeh department.

Minolta MD 50mm F2 is quite busy, but it's nervousness is not always unpleasant.

I found Minolta MC Rokkor-PF 58mm F1.4 to be a quite disappointing lens, not living up to it's reputation on all metrics, including bokeh.
I believe people confound the quantity of bokeh with it's quality. Sure, there is a lot of the former thanks to WOW ~42, but the quality is meh and you have to work for it.

That Minolta 55 1.7 is outstanding in the forest ....
This is the Septon dkl

And this one is the same Rokkor 55 1.7

Minolta MD 50mm F1.4 (MD-III) has a reputation of having a significantly nicer bokeh than competing 50/1.4 of the era.

F1.4


F2


I found this claim to be only partially true. Minolta shows advantage in the rendering of strong OOF highlights, but once they are gone or subdued, said advantage is on it's way out.




I've shot same calmly lit scene with MD-III and FDn 50/1.4, forgot about it for a few days, and afterwards I couldn't tell which is which.
In this unexpectedly blind test pictures were pretty much completely identical.

Olympus Zuiko MC AUTO-T 135mm F2.8 offers one of the best pictures I've seen in any lens.
It has very nervous and very wide transition area, but once you are aware and avoid putting stuff there, all what's left is top-notch front and back bokeh.







This lens makes me regret my lack of love to 135mm focal length.

Not a usual contestant: Canon FDn 24/2.8
No one should judge wide angle on bokeh, but TBH 24/2.8 is a poor performer.
If you work for it, you can squeeze an okay defocused background, but generally it's pretty bad.
