The AF isn't really a big deal, because it's so wide everything beyond two and a half feet is in focus anyway. I don't think I've ever needed to manually or autofocus ever ^.^ I just leave it locked out at infinity. If you needed to though, it's fast and quiet.
It's sharp at 12mm + With 10mm you sometimes get aberrations, but only when the aperture is wide open, if you leave it at F8 to F11 it's usually fine.

I had to run over that. And there was more beihind, for a mile or so.
That's when on the way back, I discovered there was an actual path.

It some giant cosmic joke, there usually always is, apart from just now ^.^
Me: You have lots of banks
Polish Girl: Yes. You know how you have starbucks?
Me: Yes?
Polish: Well, we have Banks.
Of course, if the constant drawing on that particular time period could be counted as hidden, I supose it is too ^.&

Read what you want. They often start as mis interpretations but end out as ideas all of their own.

Allow me a second to explain. Or maybe an hour ^.^
What do you think 'free will' is? Do you really think we have free will?
I think we are just acting on stimuli, and either responding or not responding to it.
Imagine you walk round a corner and I'm standing there infront of you. You get frightened, and you say that 'You frightened me!".
Now imagine the same situation again. But this time it's a scarecrow, or a dummy, mannequin, etc. You get scared again. Now, did the mannequin scare you? Or did you allow yourself to be scared? Did it intentionally do anything?
In the first incidence, did I actually scare you? Intentionally? Or did you scare yourself?
The truth is, even without actively doing anything, we still force each other to take choices. Why do I write a thing if it isn't a feeling that already was moving through me? Most of the time it is. But someone who was happy with their say. dog, could write about not being happy with their dog. Imagination. But their imagination can only stretch so far as what they have seen elsewhere. Perhaps they have seen a dog acting badly, or a person acting badly to a dog, or perhaps they think of the dog as a person. Point is, unless they have something relative, they won't be able to imagine it.
Imagine you were born in a cave, without parents. You will have no inherent thoughts. You would not be able to speak any language except your own (It has been observed that a chameleons special ability is to blend itself with surroundings..would it be so hard to imagine that our 'super-power' was short range communication?)
So you walk out of the cave, and you see a man with a piece of light stuff, and he has a piece of dark stuff in his hand (of course, this would have to be 'light and dark' how you would perceive them' Eventually, through repetition, you find he calls them charcoal, and paper, and that he is a man.
You draw some rocks. You draw the outside view of a cave. You draw a man and you draw bits of a man. you could draw paper and charcoal, or a man that looked like charcoal, or charcoal with arms and legs, or the sky, or the clouds, and any mix of these things, but that is it.
Now a bird flies across. You draw a bird. You draw a man with wings.....
See how things become? As we prgross we are so saturated with information that our only practical limit is our ability to create, and, what we do not know.
There is a man out there who is your perfect match, there is a song that you will love more than any other, there is a perfect job for you. But you may never find any of these because you will not know about them.
At some point a things started to kick this all off, but what's more important now is that we are all copying each other, and that the only things that are truly 'new' happen by accident. I am choosing to write, I am thinking the thoughts in my head, but they do not belong to me. They are copies and mixes from the first to the nth degree. And most of what we do is a simple rehash anyway. Currently the sixties ^.^
"And there will be nothing new under the sun." Just got up, sorry for the message, but, this is what makes me think. I never thought it out like this before you asked me that question, only bits of it. ^.^
