Accessories
Support the habit, not the impulse aisle
Accessories should solve carrying, power, protection, and cleaning problems you already noticed — not clutter a shelf with gadgets you will unwrap once.
Carry & protection
- Bags — Insert sizing matters more than logo; padded dividers should let you grab a body with lens mounted.
- Straps — Neck, shoulder, and wrist options change how discreet you feel on a long walk.
- Filters — Clear protection versus polarizers and ND filters for specific light; avoid stacking thick rings that vignette wide lenses.
Power & storage
Spare batteries age even on the shelf; rotate stock and label chargers. Memory cards differ in speed grades — match write speed to video or burst needs if your body supports them.
Lens care basics
Use a blower before a cloth; breathe vapor, do not spray cleaners at elements. Cap lenses when they ride in a bag with keys. A small kit of blower, soft brush, and microfiber lives longer than miracle wipes.
