The ultimate Bokeh thread; pics please

Here's a fun one: Okaya Highkor 40mm f1.8 lens. I removed it from an old Japanese fixed rangefinder camera from the 50's (Lord SE) and adapted to Sony A7RII. It's almost certainly a classic "double gauss" 6/4. What is notable, besides the quality of the bokeh, is the fact that here is a 40mm lens offered as standard with very good performance and not-extreme light falloff, kind of surprising for this optical design.

Here are a couple of similar shots. One taken with a Zeiss 50mm f1.8 Ultron (M42) and one with a Rodenstock 50mm f2 Heligon (Kodak Retina IIIc):

Ultron (Adox Silvermax 100), close to wide open (not sure exactly f1.8-f4)

Heligon (Ilford HP5+) probably f2.8-f5.6
