Indeed so, Mike - fortunately I do not have to spend silly big money on a
Zenitar 50/1.2
https://zenit.store/collections/canon-mount-zenit-lenses/products/mc-zenitar
-50mm-f-1-2-s-lens-for-canon-aps-c-sensors as I have an old 58/2 Helios
44M-4 acquired with a Zenit (being the price of admission!). The bokeh was
sufficient for a non-photographer daughter to comment favourably on the
backgrounds to some images captured at a flower show.

No need to be a spoil sport with oddball bokeh--can be very fun and artistic
at times.   A few years back t a Helios 44-2 58mm in M42 mount would
typically sell for 12 bucks with 12 bucks for shipping from Kiev.  
It has the classic swirl bokeh induced by internal vignetting.    They
became popular (with commensurate rise in price)  and never just got around
to it though wish I had.  Price of admission much less than most and has a
nice rendering and fairly sharp stopped down.

Weird bokeh fan (at times), Mike
