He has got some points which I agree upon... But the lens has got its merits indeed.

What to expect from a decade old three elements lens ?

Merits? From the review it's apparent that this lens sucks donkey rhino, to put it mildly.

There are many excellent photos taken with the Trioplan... Just an example:

It's a combination of the photographer's clever work, light (which is indeed caught very well) and probably postprocessing, and technically these shots are made DESPITE the bad lens, not thanks to it.

It's sort of funny ... the bokeh is so bad by common standards, that you may consider is to be interesting. ;-)

Sure, a mirror lens also has its charm... For a grand total of 5 minutes.

That's the point, indeed.
For what concerns Photoshop... I have a number of similar photo taken by me, even though not up to the quality of the Flickr gallery... I never used Photoshop (or else) to produce that look. I've only used it sometimes, as usual, to remove or reduce some distracting elements.

To be fair - as mentioned in the review the bokeh improves when stopping down.
The technical bokeh is never best at full open aperture - it's pretty much always better to stop down a little at least.
