Hello everyone,
I really like this lens bokeh. I think it's a manual lens, any idea of which one it could be? Thank you for your help!

Ooookay, I assume this isn't a name that lens test, that you came across these images and like the OOF rendering...
It could help if we knew where the images came from.
To me it looks like a 50-85mm lens, Helios 40?

The second one might also have a few donuts in the tree bark behind the lady's shoulder.
If the Mystery Lens is a mirror it's not a very long focal length, DOF is relatively thick. _________________ I welcome C&C, editing my pics and reposting them on the forum is fine.

I don't see any Mirror-(Donuts) or Helios/Biotar(Swirling) bokeh. It's only very wild.
The focal length is seems to be not that long and so the lens have to be fast. Looks more like 50mm max.
Looks imho about similar to the Contax G Planar T* 35/2 wide open

(bad example is on crop)
Another good candidate might be the expensive Leica Summicron 35/2 in early versions

Always a matter of taste. I like the bokeh in the examples. Distracting yes, but it gives adds a "wow-factor".
I hope this is not going to be a debate on principles here again _________________ I'm not a collector, I'm a tester

The first link shows some bokeh that is similar. (Hmm, not working right now)
I think it adds something different to the pictures, I wouldn't want it for every shot. _________________ A Manual Focus Junky...

I don't know any AF vesion of the Canon 50/1.8 but I think the bokeh of the Canon is much less distracting _________________ I'm not a collector, I'm a tester
