Page 4 of 6 Get A Little Closer Macro lenses can be a big expense. For a cost-efficient alternative, B+W close-up lenses screw into your filter ring and extend the range of your normal lenses. With a variety of strengths, you’ll be able to achieve a similar look as you would with a traditional macro lens. List Price: $34 to $94 (depending on strength). Contact: Schneider Optics, (631) 761-5000, www.schneideroptics.com. Shoulder The Load When you see a great shot, shoot it! BushHawk’s BH-220 and BH220D (for digital cameras) shoulder mounts eliminate the need to carry around and constantly set up a tripod. Weighing only 12 ounces, the mounts are perfect for travel while allowing you to quickly and steadily frame your images, especially with long zoom lenses. An optional cord, specific to your camera’s manufacturer, connects the unit’s two-position trigger system for autofocus and shutter release functions. List Price: $99.95. Contact: BushHawk, (800) 325-8542, www.bushhawk.com. Clean It Up We know you don’t have to be told (or maybe you do), but keeping your camera clean is almost as important as flossing your teeth. Both should be done regularly, so consider carrying the Kinetronics Digital Camera Cleaning Kit (CC-020), which gives you all the tools to whisk away dust, lint, fingerprints and other debris from your delicate digital camera parts. The lens brush and cleaning cloth come in a little box or soft pouch. List Price: $10.95. Contact: Kinetronics, (800) 624-3204, www.kinetronics.com. In The Hood Whether you’re out strolling the streets or hitting the hiking trails, you’ll need proper protection for your camera’s LCD. Hoodman’s SLR Pro Shooter Kit is a cap, hood and magnifier all in one and can fit in the smallest pocket of your bag when it’s not snapped onto the back of your camera. This useful accessory protects the LCD from scratches and dirt, blocks the sun’s glare so you can see the LCD better and magnifies small menus. List Price: $34.99. Contact: Hoodman, (800) 818-3946, www.hoodmanusa.com.
