If you want to use this lens on a camera other than the one it was made for then be aware that it may be difficult to mount and get focus on distant objects without adding another lens or adapter between the lens and the camera's sensor. The problem is due to space requirements between the lens and the camera's sensor, but that's another subject. The one good thing about using it that way is the Bokeh is most noticeable since it's in a state of macro.
With that caveat, I must mention that I very much like the Angenieux line of lenses. They're costly but have a pictorial quality that I find very appealing. Their Bokeh is always good to great, no matter which lens from them I'm using. They're especially nice for Black & White photography.
The lens is plenty sharp (see the 2 cropped images) and the Bokeh is mostly creamy. It can have a faint hint of Dreamy and if you find the right subject and lighting you can get some Painterly effects too. It is only an f/3.5 lens so to get the most noticeable Bokeh remember to use the information on the Tips Page.
