Tamron certainly has some issues here.

"If good bokeh simplifies, bad bokeh does the opposite. Distracting blobs in the foreground, smeared or jumbled background shapes, choppy patterns of light and dark—these are the sights that make bokeh lovers wince. One common fault cited in Japanese lens tests is ni-sen ("two-line") bokeh: a tendency for out-of-focus objects to separate into two overlapping images. In extreme cases this can make an entire background look as if your eyes have become permanently crossed."

That's as good as it gets with a catadioptric lens. The lens renders OOF highlights as doughnuts. The plus side is you can pack a 500 or 1000 mm lens in the same space as a 70-200 zoom. The in-body image stabilization of version II Sony cameras works well enough to allow hand-held shots.
