This was what taken with Mamiya 80mm F2.8 AF and a 12mm extension tube. Outdoors the bokeh is only so-so and it doesn\'t render busy background very nicely. It has its moments, but nothing special. When coupled with a 12mm tube and used for close up work, then it can be a nice lens -
80mm @ F4 on a Phase One P25 - close up its bokeh can be quite nice -
And with a busy background @ F2.8 (645AFDII & P25) --- but this is a fairly close shot -

Some obligatory dog pix @ F2.8 from the Mamiya ZD -
The 80mm F2.8 AF can have nice bokeh, but it\'s very situation specific. The odds of it turning an ulgy background in a nicely abstracted blur is pretty slim unless the composition is shot really tight (close-up). My $.02 anyway...
