Pretty bokeh? No I wouldn't say that. The 50/4 and 80/2.8 Zeiss optics have pretty nice bokeh but they're not as sharp as the Mamiya glass. Of course having ugly bokeh does not prevent a person from getting terrific results when shooting wide open, just that some extra care is needed in choosing the background.
