I have found that Minolta/Sony lenses provide the most beautiful bokeh of any lenses I have ever had the pleasure of using. This is a typical example produced by my old Minolta 80-200mm XI.

I know how you feel. I have an 85mm f1.4 Minolta lens that I just love to use. Their old glass seems to caress the object in question!

That is a lovely capture. I have found very unique Bokeh using a 500mm Mirror lens. The Bokeh is shaped like donuts because of the center mirror. The lenses are moderately priced and can be mounted to various camera bodies.

I have 3 Minolta lenses that I use on my Sony bodies and I couldn't agree with you more about the bokeh and color they produce.

I also have the Minolta 50mm f3.5 macro and two Sony lenses; 18-135mm and 70-300mm G. All three also have the same bokeh. My camera is an A65.
