Answering the questions:
- The 70-210 lens is Minolta beercan.
- I frankly gave up counting aperture blades on the Jupiter lens there are too many.
- The Jupiter lens excels in the shapes of defocused features (tree branches this time); the beercan renders them pretty ugly; even though it's khown for what is called bokeh to be pretty good.

- Aha, I don't understand why Sony (or indeed Minolta before) does (did) not upgrade the 70-210 beercan, It should be a lovely lens, and also popular, judging by the success of the Canon 70-200mm f4 L USM and 70-200mm f4 L IS USM.
- Now I am even more curious about number of blades, haha!
- The shapes of the foliage in the dog image indeed are rendered quite pleasingly. Great job for MF!
