Hi Folks!
MF has infected me.............
On thursday my Pentacon 2.8/135mm arrived and today the 4/200. Both can be seen here:
Unfortunately I could only take the 2.8/135 out tonight (i went by bicycle and had to carry tripod as well......)
Unfortunately late night is not the best time to gather pics showing the awesome bokeh.
Nevertheless I tried:
freehand with ISO 1600 so please excuse the noise. The background blur let's the lanterns melt away very softly.
bokeh gradient can be seen in this picture very nice. I was also impressed by the sharpness!! ISO 100 from tripod and with Live View focused
And two more showing the nice round shapes produced by OOF light sources 
I hope to be able to contribute now and can get a member of the MF family 
It is incredible how such manual lenses change the POV. I found myself automatically trying to compose (although not very well implemented, but the motives were rare). It is just another way of looking through the viewfinder with such lenses attached.
Thx for your advices up to now, I will need a lot more of them to get deeper into MF........

Congrats for these nice pieces! 135mm one of the most respected variant from this lens. 200mm also a great lens.

Thx! In general I'm not really satisfied with the "wuestenrot" lettering in the background but it was not easy to find the right perspective with having the christmas ligh in the background especiall with this lens (equal to 216mm on my crop cam)
Over the x-mas holidays I hope to be able to gahter daylight shots which better show th lovely bokeh
Merry X-mas

Thank you! Velvia is wonderful when there are rich blue, green or reds around
Some more from same roll of Velvia 100F, still same Pentacon lens
Female model was very cooperative at this time (sunset) but aggressive male companion and cold weather increased focusing difficulties  (1 sharp and 1 almost focused out of 7 exposures)

Hi Sebastian,
which dslr did you use?
I have this 135 MC too and found it to be a VERY good lens on my Pentax DS but with other dslr like K20D or E-1 trhe results differed...
This is a well known effect- lenses that perform very good up to a 10 MP aps-dslr and do not on the 14/15-MP-aps-dslr ...

(have a look for the russian 2.0/85....!)

HI Paul!
I used it on an EOS 40D which is 10 MP. In fact it might be that 15 MP cams like the 50D do challenge the resolution the optics can deliver. but it has been shown already that the 50D demands highest performance primes to deliver the resolution the sensor provides! For me the MP race is over. Unfortunately Canon seems to think different if you take 50D and 5D MKII  I would rather prefer mre dynamic range and tonal range than MP's........

Hehe! On you 5D it will perform even better and be a great Porträt Lens with slightly better bokeh due to the full-format sensor!!
