Well, I have to admit, my coolest accessory is this:

http://www.amazon.com …TF8&qid=1286717​039&sr=1-1 (external link)

Canon should make them, but I have a few Sigma ones now and my friend, Mel, gave me 3! I use these cloths for cleaning my glasses all the time, but use them for lens or LCD cleaning and you're good to go. They are very small, so you can put one in every bag you use. But the hook is terrible. Always falls off.

My children and grandchildren are the reason, but it's the passion that drives me to get the perfect image of everything.

I like that! I'm going to order one. Thanks Suzy! :)

I gave a bunch out to my shooting buddies last Christmas. They're under $7, it was great!

maybe i have OCD... i keep little swatches of microfiber fabrics in mini ziploc bags...
i tend to not re-use them much until i wash them.

but thanks Suzi, that is quite nifty for on-the-go situations...

I have one of those cloths hanging on each of my frequently used bags, and they are very handy, even just for my glasses, let alone the lenses.

Today's accessory: have a Pelican? These are pretty much indestructable locks for it. Read this thread. Extra long shackles, case hardened steel.

They saved my bacon. Sold through Tamperseal. (external link) About $13 each. Also TSA approved.

I am designing a piece of furniture to store my bags and accessories... so that should be my favorite one.

Along those lines I'm building a storage facility which will look like a hobechest, and will hold the paded devider (external link) for the pelican 1620 (external link).
I figured since the price for the pelican is a bit high, and it's only for storage not something I should lug around, it would be far cheaper to build a unit out of wood.


Don't worry Ma'am, We're university students, We know what We're doing.

Hmm, I am surprised to see the enthusiasm for the microfiber cloths for cleaning LENSES. I use one for my LCD and what not, but only single use lens papers touch my lenses! I wouldn't want to risk it... I guess it depends on just how clean of an environment you are in, but I am constantly out in nature with my gear, and microfiber cloths would not go very far from my point of view.
