HI Andy!

I had a Russian MTO, some years back... used it for shooting an 
Eclipse of the Sun, from aboard ship.  No problems with bokeh ... 
things were either brilliant or black!

See the 1998 entries under 
http://www.main.furnfeather.net/eclipse/eclipse_index.htm

However, in any other use, the lens exhibited OK sharpness, but 
noticeable curvature of field, serious vignetting and low contrast. 
Other aspects were so poor, I never bothered about the bokeh!  I 
quickly sold it.
