here's a cropped (about 1:3) image showing the weird bokeh. I think this was about f2. Focus is on the light switch.

I bought this lens, and returned it...

Two reasons -
The lens has a serious design flaw IMO. I use an adapter to use on full frame Sony A7. The entire lens barrel is essentially a focus ring. It's easy to focus but impossible to mount/unmount from the adapter - no where to grip. If you leave the adapter on the entire time that's fine, but I only have one adapter for multiple lenses.
The bokeh is nice most of the time, but sometimes it produces a weird white dot in the center of the out of focus highlight area. Very unusual. Usually the outer ring glows but this is the opposite.

By the way, this lens seems to be designed to be shot around f4-f8. Even at f5.6, the out of focus area is very dreamy (on Full Frame). Unlike other soft focus lens i've used.
