The Zeiss 135mm Sonnar*T doesn't have a 20 blade aperture. You maybe thinking of the Pentacon preset which if I remember correct Zeiss and Pentacon are very close sharing similar designs and I think even some production.

Also the 135mm Pentacon preset or the "bokehmaster" only has a 15 blade aperture.

I said the Tair-11 and the Tair-11A both have 20 aperture blades.
They're pretty different, separate lenses(the A version is sharper, better built and apparently with a slightly different optical formula), but they both have 20 aperture blades.
But yes the 135mm Pentacon does indeed have 15 aperture blades which is also a lot.

Well it appears I'm gonna be using my Helios 44-2 58mm F2 on my 5Dc after I file down about 1mm from the back. The mirror hits the backside from about 6m to infinity focus. Surprisingly easy to accurately focus that thing manually, while I have a lot of trouble accurately manually focusing my other lenses (the Tair 11 133mm F2.8 and Zeiss 20mm F4, not to mention my AF lenses with the short 90 degree focus paths).
Now just the small matter of finding something to file down the backside with...

A good photographer can take extraordinary photos anywhere, with any camera and any lens while a mediocre one will take mediocre ones everywhere, with every camera and every lens.
Never limit yourself with what others think you should do. Shoot what you find interesting, exactly the way you want to.

OK, here is one with my Pentax Super-Takumar 50mm f/1.4 on a 40D on the shore of Lake Michigan on a very grey day. I love this lens! There is a reason everyone raves about this El-Cheapo Gem! I got if with a Honeywell camera on eBay for under $20 delivered! I shot a few that day I posted with this one on my Flickr page:

Excellent.
