Not sure if this lens was mentioned here already (I guess so)
I think the CZJ Sonnar 135/3,5 can deliver excellent bokeh 
It is a lovely lens for outside portraits too (a bit long for indoors)! |

Without any discussion in my collection so far there is my one "the best from the best". This one is like a dream. The best dream of everybody who is taking pictures

It is boring to take pictures from short distance, something like quasi-macro to proof that background is beautifully blurred.
But this lens is also perfect from the bigger distance.
#6
All photos was taken with Pentax K10D and P. Angenieux 3.5/135 @3.5
The true is that lens is made in Exacta mount and made pictures keeping lens with left hand in camera body. I was "focusing " just to moving forward and back.
But all above photos are like cute sweet candies.
My dream "beyond" is to make other photography - something like this.

No, I didn't. Sometimes is similar light and when subject is in certain color and BG is similar you can develop similar results. Example from photos which are already posted here
Angenieux 3.5/135

And please, don't be confused with this photos. Angenieux is really sharper then Spiratone.

With manual focus lenses is similar to driving different cars. Everybody who has to use several cars knows what I mean. You have to have time to switch from one to another. Sometimes it is only few minutes, but certainly is. With lenses is the same. Special if you are taking photos using lenses only in 100% manual mode.
I have Planar 1.4/85 in PK mount. I don't have to proof that it is a great lens. Samples?
You can recognize that third photo is again similar to both photos in the previous post regarding colors.
And even I am not familiar in 100% with Planar I thing that Angenieux 3.5/135 ist the best lens between all lenses in my possession.

I also was suprised. This photo was taken with the AF Sigma DC 2.8-4.5/17-70!

In my experience, all lenses when shooting macro (either because they are macro lenses, or because they are used with tubes) deliver great bokeh.
So I think it's not very truetelling to show macro pictures for bokeh.
Bokeh should be evaluated on normal focusing distances.

I agree in 100%. You can develop great booked with almost all existing lenses - taking shots from very short distance, with aperture wide open, and BG far away from object pictured Of course you can notice difference between those "macro" bokeh. But as I wrote above - look at http://forum.mflenses.com/what-is-your-favourite-portrait-lens-t3240.html

Yes, "Macro" shots are somehow not telling the true bokeh story. Even small sensor cameras like Leica Digilux II or Ricoh GX100 can deliver great bokeh in that range ... |

But as we have learned, close-ups do not show the true bokeh performance.
I will try and shoot a "bokeh shot" with this lens in the next days, because even if it is not an MF lens (and neither a prime), it has a great bokeh.

Yep, I chose it too as my all-around AF lens, and the main difference with some other AF zooms is the bokeh (the "famed" tamron 17-50/2.8 comes to mind -a pixel-peeper dream lens, with a horrible bokeh). The sigma's bokeh is mostly neutral in most situations and focal lengths |
