[ohjin22]

Like the title sais. What is your cheapest accessory, that is usefull on a regular basis.

Mine at the moment is my extention tubes, that i got for £5.

 

[markmullen]

Cable release, saves messing about with the self timer on tripod shots. Chinese copy, about £4 off ebay

 

[robertgilbert86]

Lenspen!

 

[PCPhil]

Lens caps with elastic on them .... er ...to stop me losing lens caps

 

[terryt]

Wireless remote shutter, under £3 from the bay

 

[String]

Remote release and lenspen

 

[Tricky01]

Lenspen!

+1

(actually, +2 - need one per bag!)

 

[Nawty]

Lenspen for me too.

Rocket blower..

Sent from my HTC Hero using TP Forums

 

[Tobers]

Bits of masking tape in an "inside out" loop stuck to each of the inner faces of all my lens caps & body caps. Any dust sticks to it rather than going onto the sensor.

 

[ash59uk]

lens pen and mini tripod 4ft telescopic.

 

[robertgilbert86]

TP should get some branded lenspens, they'd make a fortune it seems!

 

[tomqh]

welding glass £2, step up filter ring £2, superglue £1 = ND10 filter

 

[Nipper]

+1 for welding glass well worth the £ 3.00 outlay

 

[draiman]

Lens Pen and Rocket blower. Couldn't do without them.

 

[chrisirwin]

Gorilla pod for the g9. Very grippy and can be utilised almost anywhere

 

[Matt_B]

Rocket blower for me.

 

[Downsy]

GorillaPod, useful to clamp a off camera flash to anything

 

[John Young]

Center pinch lens cap as I hate the side pinch ones that are a nightmare to put on and take off when lens hood is on (99p off ebay)

 

[arclight]

Rocket blower.

 

[markmullen]

I just thought of another, p series lenscap, saves taking the filter holder and adaptor ring off if putting the camera away for a wee while between shots.

 

[paulcamcas]

Bounce card made from a christmas card and hairband pinched from my daughter. 0p.

 

[Oggy]

A bean bag. Great for when you cannot use a tripod.

 

[jedipie]

Rocket blower.

+1

Another vote for Rocket Blower here, although from what I'm hearing it sounds like I need a Lenspen. Even tho I don't really know what it does

 

[smudgie49]

AA battery charger - almost constantly in use when I'm in strobist mood!!

 

[Ben_dc2]

I'm down with the rocket blower aswell. Brilliant to have in my bag!
