Looks like a very interesting lens. Uses SA at least in part and very
adjustable. AltdotMoose has a SF Minolta which is somewhat similar.
He also has a Canon SoftFocus. Both 85/2.8. With Minolta you turn a ring to adjust SA, while Canon is push-pull. Results
essentially the same.
Then again, my ancient SIMA Soft Focus, a single, uncoated, double convex lens with sliding tube focus and cardboard
waterhouse stops, does some wonderful imaging.
The Tammy commands a high price too it seems.

It would be a fun lens to experiment with but would take practice and skill to
use it well based on the samples I viewed. Weird bokeh lenses, IMO may be
easier to get decent shots but are one trick ponies.
Sorta. The shots we see on-line are all maximum effect. A twist lens, for example, may show little twist at less than
"optimal" subject/background distances.
