Cat lenses have a mirror in them to half the length of barrel needed for a long focal length. and they create a characteristic donut shaped bokeh. Tim

& also, what does catadioptric mean??!!??!?

thanks people... the lens was the nikon 18-200. i took it out by accident thinking it was my 24-120 and got very confused!... i think the odd bokeh might be because she wouldn't stop walking along for me to take the shot. so i think it's motion blur, but i'm not sure about that

Silas my man, this is great! I love the strange bokeh. What sort of lens did you use to create it? It looks almost like a catadioptric. Tim

Excellent, silas, perfect DOF and a crisp subject.
