Yes, the bokeh of the 50-250 is not that pretty:

It is okay if you can avoid a busy background and shoot at the long end:

The edge to edge sharpness of the 50-250 at all focal lengths make it a good
lens for landscapes.
Tamron 70-210/3.5 and 60-300 are the lenses I would like to try but at
the monent I have a 65-200 waiting to test :-)
