Hello and welcome to the forum.
Your pictures don't show up on the first post, it's an anti spam measure. From now they will.

I modified a Sigma YS 135mm f/2.8 lens for better bokeh. I can now adjust the spherical abberation of the lens (and probably other abberations) like with the Nikkor DC 105 and 135 lenses with their Defocus Control.
I must admit I like often the possibility to enhance the background bokeh structure:

There are some really great pics here! Wondering why there are only a few shots from Voigtlander 58/1.4 with it's excellent dreamy bokeh. May be it is not so popular lens in total? And where are those killing shots from Distagon 35/1.4?? That what I would call creamy-dreamy. Both are in my wish list currently 
As for me I simply love my Rokkor 58/1.2 for sharpness and contrast right from f/1.2 but most of all for bokeh. As with any other lens out there one should learn how to use that painting from rokkor. This lens is an incredible tool to capture your memories.

The great examples here show why I don't have a favorite lens for bokeh. I like almost all forms of it, especially when it plays nice with the subject. I did get my Pentacon 135/2.8 Zebra because of its reputation for bokeh and I'm happy with it. |

So many great bokeh lenses and so little time - so well demonstrated by other members!
When I want the effect, I'd likely reach for:
(M43 & 35mm)
Zeiss Biotar 58/2
Vivitar S1 90/2.5 "Bokina"
Vivitar S1 90-180/4.5 Flat Field Zoom
Nikon AF DC 135/2D
Vivitar S1 200/3
Noritar 250/4.5 Preset
Olympus OM 350/2.8 ED
(MEDIUM FORMAT)
Noritar 80/2
Fujinon 100/3.5 + Auto Up lens
Zeiss 180/2.8
Have to laugh at the length of my bokeh lens list - looks like I do appreciate bokeh! Ha! Ha! Ha!

Konica Hexanon AR 57mm f/1.4, the bokeh is ever so pleasing. It can focus down to 45cm, which is very close among the 57mm ~ 60mm normal lenses, closer than the Minolta 58mm/1.2's 60cm, much cheaper too.
A few dahlia flower shots taken by my wife Jenny.

The Super Takumars are soft and buttery.
