The Ricoh GR arrived at Macfilos just after launch and I used it for a month or two. I was not blown over and, for some reason which I cannot now fathom, unimpressed with the results. I certainly missed the built-in electronic rangefinder that I had enjoyed with the Fuji X100S and other cameras. That was last year.

The Apple Watch has been on my wrist, exclusively, for the past three weeks. So far I have not missed my mechanical IWC Pilot’s Chronograph except in one respect which I will cover later. In general, though, I thought I knew what to expect from the Watch, having read all the reviews and teasers. But I have been surprised on two fronts.

Think wide angle and think about cramming as much landscape as possible into one frame. Yet a food wide-angle lens is not a substitute for a panorama shot. You get the most out of your lens by getting in close and taking advantage of the opportunities that are absent with the more popular 35mm or 50mm street photography focal lengths.

Tramping around the City of London, camera in hand, is a constant delight. I confess to spending a lot of time on the hoof in this part of the world and I know that every corner brings something new and interesting. Take Fann Street, near Old Street and the Barbican. It is called Fann Street for a good reason.
