Tech analyst and commentator Ben Bajarin has had his Apple Watch strapped to his wrist since April, well before the public launch of the device. Since then it has become an integral part of his life. But could he live without it. The answer is clear:

Following my purchase of the classic MATE (the later 46mm-thread version) from David Stephens of the Leica Store Manchester at the Photographica camera fair in May, I quickly decided that the lack of six-bit coding was a major handicap. To be certain of best results it was necessary to enter the menu and change the lens focal length before switching from 28 to 35 or 50mm. I'm so used to dealing with modern six-bit lenses that this was all too much. Something had to be done. 

Only this morning I was in Red Dot Cameras—one of their two open Saturdays of the month—to meet George James who had trekked from his home in Hampshire. We were browsing the extensive selection of used Leicas of all ages. There were serried ranks of II and III models ranging from the early 1930s through to the early fifties. I had my eye on a IIIg, the pinnacle of screw-mount Leica design. Elaine Cooper produced the key to the cabinet and I had a few minutes with one of the three examples on view  It's a camera I don't have in my collection and my eye tends to stray IIIg-wards every time I see Red Dot's display.

It even raises an eyebrow from folks who haven’t the first clue about cameras. The idea of a digital camera without a screen on the back is just too much for some people to fathom
