Accessories you absolutely cannot live without?

[Derrel]

Accessories....hmmm...microfiber cleaning cloths. Bulb-type air blower. Pec Pads and Eclipse fluid. Rechargeable AA batteries. Extension tubes (12mm and 25mm most useful). Fast firewire CF card readers.

I was just about to make a thread asking this, thank you!

LOL, that wasn't condescending. I don't do landscapes, but I do take a lot of pictures that would be impossible to hand-hold. When the exposure time gets too long to hand-hold, I put it on a tripod - it's as simple as that.

I do have a tripod and I rarely use it for long exposure shots.

Well duh, you feel naked without your strobes....

Can't live without: slingshot, tripod, speedlite, extra batteries, polarizing filter

Don't want to live without: monopod, extra exposures, grip attachment, UV/ND filters, my custom tripod/monopod iPhone head, iPhone SD card adapter

Lets see -
Battery grips + wrist strap for an ideal hold on any DSLR - plus vertical controls for effortless portrait shooting
Propper neckstrap - OpTech Neckstrap - padded and stretchy allowing for comfort when using, unlike regular shipped straps with cameras
Spare Batteries
Tripod + various tripod heads = each head for a purpose and each set of legs for the same. Some will be light and durable; others heavy and rock solid - some heads for fast action and some for slow, fine controls
Better Beamer - for extended range with flash
Flash units - for flashing of course

The list goes on and on, but the key part is ensuring that the additional items you purchase are both good quality and also serve a specific purpose for yourself. Items for purchases sake alone are no use, they'll fast sit there gathering dust; so research your areas of interest; look up specific components to aid your shooting

you really do like that C330

I know how you feel - hoping to finish off the roll in my RB67 and see what comes of it soon (probably loads of exposure problems )
