Photography stocking stuffers!

What about a subscription to a photography magazine? or National Geographic to get some inspiration!

Also a good idea. I get Nat Geo already, but another magazine would be nice.

What about an Opteka fisheye lens. I've ordered myself one.

Check it out:

Amazon.com: Opteka HD² 0.20X Professional Super AF Fisheye Lens for Canon EOS Digital Rebel XT, XTi, XS, XSi, T1i, 10D, 20D, 30D, 40D, 50D Digital SLR: Camera & Photo

Not the most expensive fisheye on the market but it looks like you can get some cool effects!

-a multi-card reader. many times has saved either me or a friend. especially useful if you have more cards and want to download a big pile while the camera continues to shoot (don't ask me how you do that at the same time :-)

- instead of the neck strap, i've seen short wrist straps that look appealing, never tried one myself.

- a moleskine, or the like, notebook to be kept as a photo journal. yes nice and retro. Put your camera and lens history in there, photo tips, shooots, projects, ideas etc.etc.

- lens cleaning cloth? somebody mentioned lens pen, but what's best?

- grey card or ExpoDisk (although the latter are closer to $100) for your
in the field color balance corrections

- if you have trouble (re)viewing your pictures outdoors, i've seen these
little gimmicks container to attach to the screen and provide a darker environment to view them

- giftcard for a book or printing service?


But as with everything: these will just fill up your camera bag and produce clutter. So, is it time for a better bag? But those are never under $20.

Just turn to the B&H catalog's camera gear section and start looking...
