What are some of "your" must have accessories?

Some of mine are pretty simple. I bought some hot shoe covers off eBay for a few dollars. I really like them and always use them.

I'd be lost with out my wireless shutter release.

I always have BluTack in my camera bag.

I always have a protective filter on my lenses.

I always wrap my camera bodies in a micro fibre cloth (anal I know).


Cheers,
Bear Dale

White Melitta coffee filters for WB

Gaf tape

Cheap $20.00 Walmart padded Gun Case for my $1K + tripod rig... :)

My Green rain poncho I found circa 1981... (folds up and fits in a pouch)

On a similar note, some large black plastic garbage cans

Sunblock! (I'm a red head)

On a similar note, I don't go anywhere without my "Jake of Arabia" dishtowel.

Lens pen and disposable lens wipes.

This was about my exact post I was gonna make. Only thing I'd add would be a Rocket Blower and a stack of Business Cards to hand out
