What's your Favorite LF Accessory?

A mule.
.

I am thinking of this mule: http://surlybikes.com/bikes/big_dummy

The name fits anyway. I need something to haul an 8x10 or 11x14 around with locally and this puppy is rated at a cargo of 200 lb and a 200 lb rider (okay, I'd be 150/250). I could (slowly) go camping and take the 11x14! But usually I will just ride a radius of ten miles or so..places too far to push or drag a cart, and too close to drive.

I could spend the rest of my life riding a bike up north on Hwy 101 -- and that may not be a very long time, considering some of the driving I see -- and no shoulder in some stretches! So I will stay a little closer to home for now.

But also good for shopping in town (8 miles away).

Continuing on the mule theme.

I recently got one of these:

But not new. They are really pricey. But extremely well made.

They are on Craig's list all the time and are usually quite cheap. I guess when the kids get too big for the trailer the parents want it gone. Hooked up to my bike and loaded with my 8x10, lenses and film holders I really don't feel it behind the bike. I haven't had the 8x20 in it yet but I doubt if the extra amount of weigh will make any difference. They also make an accessory that allows it to be used as a push cart.

I know that bike. The local shop sold two of them and I rode one. Not bad at all. Just a tip - get double side stands or a particularly long one because you better believe one day you will overload it with groceries.

A second job that pays cash.

And maybe one of these:

Zip lock baggies to protect my film holders from dust as well as keep my filters and lens cleaning kit organized.

Me too.

Hmm, was thinking of something like this. My pelican cases are awkward and heavy, try and avoid long walks with them and squeeze what i need in a backpack!

In addition to my tripod, I need to add one more accessory that I find equally useful . . .

After much testing using a Calumet shutter tester purchased years ago, I have a 4"x6" laminated card that cross-references aperture corrections (in stops) for every speed of each lens that I can carry in my LF pack. I refer to this card for just about every photo that I take.

Brilliant!

A Polaroid 405 Back and the Polaroid 545i on occasion . So that means lots of Pack film and Expired 4x5 Polaroid film. Also my Gossen Luna Pro with spot meter attachment, a Analog book notebook and a +1 for the Photobackpacker Cascade Film Holder.
