We all know about the Trioplan 100/2.8, and a few of us have cottoned on to the Primotar 135/3.5 as a cheaper alternative if you like that kind of thing. This got me wondering though...what other lenses can produce this ringed bokeh effect? I guess triplets may be a good choice.
Anyway, I tried a few lenses this evening to see what happens:
Meritar 50/2.9
Pretty cheap lens sometimes, bokeh ring rating 3/5
Meyer Primotar 50/3.5
Arrgh it has a weird highlight shape wide open! Bokeh ring rating 2/5
Meyer Domiplan 50/2.8
Now that's the stuff, bokeh ring rating 5/5
Industar 50-2 50/3.5
Far too normal, bokeh ring rating 1/5
And just for fun...
Steinheil Culminar 85/2.8 VL
Steinheil, you are my hero  Bokeh ring rating 10/5 
So, if you like weird out of focus areas wide open, grab a Domiplan! They're cheap and almost always broken, so you can be safe in the knowledge that you won't accidentally stop down and get a normal image

Tamron BBAR Z210 85-210 f4.5 An under rated lens, for many reasons.
The bubble bokeh is one reason.
