Although the Sigma 70-300mm f/4,0-5,6 DG (I do not own a APO version) is cheap and not top performer in image quality, it produces very nice bokeh (especially in the 300mm macro mode).

Post your bokeh-shots taken with this lens into this thread and let the others know how bokeh this lens can be! (Medium size only please)

Thanks Winfried.
This is a different example, with the lens used as a portrait one. Even if mildly distorted by the use of a luminance curve, you can see the circle of confusions on the people in the background:
