Waxed cotton camera satchel by
Strawfoot bags (image and review via
Wood & Faulk)
Synthetic exception. Durable neoprene SLR camera cover by
Zing
Calumet protective wrap. Great, less structured approach to transporting equipment
My Billingham insert and camera bag. Too much leather trim for my taste but made from best quality materials. I've moved the insert over to my
Archival Field Bag
Beautiful mono tubular
Tiltall tripods. Still made in USA. I found mine at a thrift store. Great info page on the history of Tiltall

does that roliflex still work??? (the one in the strawfoot bag)... I have one like it, but haven't used it..
great post.
i love those calumet wraps, really handy for 4x5 lenses or any camera lenses for that matter.
Rolleiflex definitely still works. Here's a recent pix of ST and Chaz:

Yes, the Calumet wraps are terrific. I'd love to make up our own version in waxed cotton with wool lining (ala the Strawfoot camera case).
I'm still using my uncle's tiltall tripod from the seventies.
Thanks so much for posting! Great list of accessories. It's refreshing to see non-synthetic and handmade goods here. I am about to pull the trigger on a Gordy's leather wrist strap and a custom Gnome camera bag (so reasonably priced!); just waiting to for my Micro 3/4 Canon lens adaptor to come in so I can decide which setup I want to use. :)
I also want to note that Gnome now carries hand-oiled cotton in black and olive for custom bag builds. Exciting!
Those are some really stylish camera accessories. I'll have to follow your links and see what I like. Great work on making the list. I could really use a new camera bag, mine is pretty old and falling apart.
