Jupiter 8 (50/2) at f2.8

I like this lens, dunno if its king or not (considering its price, more like "pauper" )
The Sonnar look with rounded OOF highlights (and aperture) for very little money.
Rounded aperture for a cheap 50mm is not so common on the 50/2 Jap lenses as most of those were considered 'cheap kit lens' and often had fewer blades to keep construction simple and cost down, even when they can be better optically (ie. sharper)
Almost like a mini J9 in how it renders, but with a shorter FL and associated working distances.

Here's the one from J9 (85/2)

Hi Thoth, found the info from the originals,

The lenses used are Nikon 105mm DC, Nikon 300mm + TC17.

Ah... the famous DC (DeFocus Control) Nikon... Sony has the STF, another Bokeh beast...

Thoth, the third picture from the last, with the single red flower floating in the highlights is very nice.

bokehlicious! I'm away for one day and now nose bleed from powerful bokeh .

Welcome shirrzyir and oceanpriest (meow come) and MWP .
The Jupiter series lens bokeh is lovely. shirrzyir may we know which lens you used? Was it a Carl Zeiss Jena Tessar? I'm just making wild guesses

IMO, working distance plays a part too.
Generally, I find that the 85mm lenses work best up to 3/4 body shots. (with distant enough bkgnd)
Most 85mm lenses do well for bokeh too.
