What is your favourite, or most used, photo accessory

I have battery packs for both my camera bodies which allow the use of 2 batteries therefore giving approximately double the amount of photos which can be taken before recharging is required. Not the cheapest items and I also think they give a more balanced feel to the camera.

Years ago it would have been my Weston Euromaster exposure meter. Bought it within months of being released and it was serviced every 5 years or so. Never went anywhere without it ... no good for studio use though unless using photoflood tungsten lights

I rarely take any photo accessories out with me, preferring just the camera body and the chosen 'lens of the day'. Occasionally I might take a flash gun with me when I think I might need extra light for a gloomy interior.

Perhaps the most useful accessories are a good pair of legs and an imagination ! 

I admire your dedication, Rod, but my own limited experience of film scanning says you will have your work cut out.

It was only when I tried scanning some of my old negatives that I realised how time-consuming it can be to remove the blemishes and dust spots. Maybe your originals are cleaner, in which case it should be plain sailing.
