The moniker "Oldie, Moldie, Golden Goodie" referred to older classic rock songs, back in the Dark Ages when
I was a teenager. 
So anyway, thought I'd break out a few from the very classic non-MC Sonnar 180/2.8, taken a few years ago.
These were sort of 'quick shots' that are really almost just snapshots without any real planning around the
image. However, it's hard to deny the bokeh qualities of this classic piece of metal and glass.

Hey thanks guys. Truthfully, I didn't take these with any plan in mind, just bent down with the
Sonnar wide-open and shot.
But...like poilu says, I think the bokeh is very creamy and paint-like, attesting to the wonderful
qualities of this old lens.
On another subject entirely, I've seen comparisons of the same shots from an old uncoated
Sonnar like I had, and a newer one with multi-coated lens. They were taken of the same subject
within a few minutes of each other. I tried HARD, but could not tell the difference between
coated and uncoated. Lighting, flare, color rendition, and bokeh all seemed the same. Maybe it does
matter in some circumstances, I just don't know.

The plan was born while looking through the viewfinder.  Surely the photos didn't compose themselves, shutter didn't choose when to go.
This Sonnar bokeh is most amazing I've seen! Are there any bad sonnar lenses?
MC difference would be seen giving more (macro-) contrast and better flare resistance.
