Why are macro lenses excluded?
The Voigtlander APO-Lanthar 125mm f/2.5 is high on my list.

I wouldn't have much experience on this, but the Samyang 85 1.4 I use produces some beautiful bokeh.

There's a special Minolta/Sony 135mm that's worth
it's £1,000 price tag for the bokeh

I like the leaf one, the one with the Meyer Optik is too distracting

It's a matter of taste. My best one is the Nokton 58mm. It can be busy with linear patterns but point sources seem OK. I'm no bokeh connoisseur.

OMG. Didn't know such a lens existed! Saw that rear element, and that is kuh-razy! Must be a heavily sought after lens!
