Micro-Fiber Cleaning Cloths
No matter how careful you are, your camera’s lens, viewfinder, and LCD display will always get fingerprints and dust on them. That’s why every photographer should have plenty of micro-fiber cloths around to clean their lenses. It doesn’t really matter what kind of micro-fiber cloth you have, or where you get it. The trick is to have one with you whenever you’re shooting. I keep them in all my camera bags, in my laptop bag, and in my studio. I am partial to the Spudz micro-fiber cloths because they are self-contained in their own pouch and have a little clip on them so you can attach them to your camera bag, a belt loop, etc. You can buy one for less than $10 and eliminate fingerprints on lenses forever. Spudz even makes an 18% gray cloth that digital photographers can use for perfect color and exposure metering!
B&H and Adorama both carry a good selection of Spudz Micro-Fiber Cleaning Cloths.

Hi, John…
Betsy Brill here, Professor Kobré’s wife and executive vice president of EVERYTHING at http://www.lightscoop.com.
Thanks for the write-up!
Thought you and your readers would want to know about a great SALE on the Lightscoop at Adorama, our EXCLUSIVE online reseller.
Happy holidays!
Now, that looks like the PERFECT camera accessory which I had been dreaming about. Reasonably priced too. Thanks very much John for posting this article!!!
This is a great idea John! Now I can just point my wife to this link for ideas while still keeping a tiny little bit of surprise in Christmas.
Man, this is great! I always carry my cleaning cloth in my linty linty pokets
Great list John. A couple of inexpensive ideas that come to mine are a good rocket blower and a hot shoe bubble level. Both very useful and inexpensive.
