I am convinced they ARE remotely controlled androids.

Many of you are probably acquainted with the
British police procedural TV show, MIDSOMER
MURDERS. Tonight I watched a 2009 episode,
"Picture of Innocence". The plot is centered on
a division within the photographic community in a
small British village between the film guys and
the digital folks. All I can say is that the
British seem to take these disagreements a bit
more viscerally than we do in the US!
One of the photographers uses a Weston Master V
light meter and a 2.8F Rolleiflex TLR. He ends
up being strangled with the cord on the Master V!
This is a highly recommended episode, only
recently released on DVD. Lots of good camera
gear in the background, and they even have some darkroom scenes.

Maybe I should put break-away chains on all my lightmeters.

Not necessary. Any likely assailant would probably mistake your
light meter for a cell phone. That actually happened to me,
although not in the course of hostilities.

Since a lot of cell phones now have cameras in them I suppose it
wouldn't take much to make them into lightmeters as well. Well, I
guess Chester Gould, creator of Dick Tracy, forsaw all this with
the wrist radio. I see a lot of people walking around with
cellphones which fit into the ear. I always wonder if they are not
remotely controlled androids.
