On a 5D. I think this is one of Meyer's best lenses and even better than its bigger brother, the 135mm f/2.8 Orestor. I should call the 100mm the "Bokeh Dwarf"! It clearly also outperforms any 105mm Takumar, on all fields.

I just picked up an Orestor 100/2.8. Mine is a later auto version (six-bladed aperture); the earlier 15-blade version probably has smoother bokeh. Here are some examples, all wide open. Contrast is somewhat lacking, so levels are adjusted in post, along with a little sharpening.
