I think as IanG that it is small format. The 50mm f2 Leica Summitar will make similar out of focus rendering at close to fully open aperture.

On a 35mm or medium format camera use a lens that is at least 4 times normal. (i.e. 200mm on 35mm)
Use a wide open aperture.
Have the subject 30 or 50 feet away from the background highlights.
Focus on the subject.
What do you get?
Add the cut-out that I described earlier.
Now what do you get?
The image was shot with a 7" aero ektar on 8x10 and was posted on an aero ektar group page on Facebook last week.
I'd also suggest Helios (44 m39) as capable for 35mm use.
I think a lot of lenses could mimic this wide open. I shot this with the Mamiya C330 80mm wide open. Not the same but similar, I think.

Assuming 178mm Aero but not sure. I sent him a message. If it is the 178 it makes sense why I felt like it was wide angle feeling.

forced me to try Xenotar 150/2.8 on 8x10... Doable on distance of about 1m.. No clue why would i use something like that when i can use longer lens @4.5 or 5.6 to get about same DOF, but hey...
