It doesn't have the really extreme bokeh but does have a fascinating pattern of light and dark. I'll bet it would work super in black and white. Speaking of cicadas. We were in D.C. a few weeks ago while there were still a bunch of them around. We sat parked in front a church waiting for my son's recital and watch sparrows attempting to catch them ON THE WING! The sparrows were so chubby they could hardly maneuver but after two or three passes they'd succeed in catching one of the cicadas and then plop down onto the ground to enjoy their feast - sometimes rolling onto their bellys and skidding to a stop in a VERY inelegant fashion. I bet there are some fat feral cats out there from chowing down on birds. Adam
