More so, if I have waited for nearly a year for this!
I could have said I succumbed, as I did before, but there was nothing to succumb to here. This was sweet anticipation. I think, when I look back, I somehow just heightened the anticipation around it. Ah, but who cares!
Yet, it is still a tool, as magnificent as it is. The tool can do only as much as the skill allows. The skill can be honed, only as much as the mind can train. The mind can train only as much as the heart believes.
Believe all the way I say..
Congratulations.That is such a beauty.There is no doubt in my mind full justice will be rendered to this tool.
Congrats on your latest…visting the flickr site soon
its one helluva piece…i’m jealous.

Thank you! I hope so too @ justice – having spent time with a more automatic ‘smart’ camera has dulled the senses a bit!

Thank you, thank you, thank you! You know – it is very interesting @ the article – I did see it – but am not sure how I got there – I don’t read the Hindu actually!

Honoured, what can I say! Thank you!
Well my wait seems to be on for this tool too …though i have one more year to go …
Love and agree with your thoughts totally… “The tool can do only as much as the skill allows. The skill can be honed, only as much as the mind can train. The mind can train only as much as the heart believes.”

In a year – there will be a something new that you will wait for – another year. Such things are for the here and now
Thank you, like I said, a tool is only as useful and useless as you believe. I have seen all that you believe! Cheers!
Lovely lines: The tool can do only as much as the skill allows. The skill can be honed, only as much as the mind can train. The mind can train only as much as the heart believes.
Thank you Sheetal, and Welcome to Gaizabonts!
