Each of us has one or more "can't live without" photo accessories that help us get our job done. I'd like to compile a list of some of the most useful and most popular that we can post on nikondigital.org as a resource. So let's hear from you on your favorites. I'll start with some of mine:

* Hoodman LCD Cover
* Digital Camera Battery
* Wimberly head & Flash bracket
* LED 'mini' headlamp
* Blower bulb

A rock steady tripod

*Polerizer
*Graduated ND Filter, Prefer Coken type

....and a bag to carry all the toys in. I have like 4 or 5 different bags for different situations.

* Carbon Fiber monopod with ball head that comes to MY height!
* Multiple CF cards
* Microfiber cloth
* All the stuff shown above (ok, except the Cokin)

In addition to most of the above, I carry a small pair of waterproof binoculars and a folded garbage bag for emergency rain protection.

Quick release plates that are actually made for your bodies/lens.
Good ball head. Spend the money for a good one.

This item isn't as important as it used to be when i shot mainly film, but i still carry several sharpies, of different colors. Old habits die hard i guess.
