you need f/0.95 for awesome bokeh! LOL!
no...good bokeh is usually in glass construction. good glass (that's why expensive lenses usually have good bokeh) usually gives you some silky smooth bokeh which is very pleasing, instead of something that just goes "BAM, i'm out of focus." there's a bunch of old lenses that gives awesome bokeh. and btw, bokeh is a japanese word.
this is from the lens that i consider to have the best bokeh out of my lenses.

that was shot from a Zeiss ZF 85/1.4. i want to say i shot it wide open because it was pretty dark, but i can't confirm since it's film. i don't think it was 4 and beyond, since i'm a wide open *****...i know i know, i get yelled at all the time, "the sharpest point of most lenses are from f/4.0 to f/8.

wow, Zeiss ZF . is that an old nikon you have? what film did you use? with this sharpness i assumed you were doing velvia slides.
