It's something that can be worked around to some extent if you know the limitations of the lens. In better quality lenses, the spots of light would be mostly round, instead of becoming cat's-eye ovals as you move away from the center of the frame. Also, shooting wide open helps - if the lens was stopped down even a little, you'd start to see the pentagonal shapes resulting from the 5-bladed aperture, instead of the pleasing circles in the shot above (which is a great shot, Rocco!).
