    Yes, of course, the Satin Snow Ground glasses, excellent items that should be in any photographers inventory.

    Satin Snow-absolutely, I have them on all my view cameras.

    Yes, Satin Snow no all my cameras also. Makes focusing on the sherpa much easier.

    Four things I really value (but none recently developed) :

    1) Linhof viewfinder, to help me quickly see the effect of different lenses and camera positions on image composition, even before pulling my camera out of its case. I keep mine in a small pouch on my belt, so its easily available.

    2) Linhof cable release quick locks on the lensboards. I have these on most lensboards so I don't have to fiddle with screwing the cable release in or out.

    3) Really Right Stuff plates

    4) Mamiya RB67 waistlevel viewfinder modified to fit on the back of my 23 Linhofs.
    Helps with quick and easy composition and focus.

    Road Warrior lens wraps

    Maxwell screen

    Ries j-100-2 tripod and the double tilt head (though I do wish it was lighter, it's fun being able to turn the linhof on its size for wide verticals without the tripod flinching)

    I think my favorite is the Toyo loupe on a string. It make you look important hanging around your neck in the field.

    I don't have anything that is really new and improved...but I like having my Swiss Army knife (Tinker model w/ phillips head screwdriver rather than the corkscrew) along.
