How we picked

Photographers rarely need another gadget. They need a better way to carry, protect and store the gear they already love: a sling that wears in, a strap that ages with the camera, and a case that keeps film dark and dry.

Picks 11 to 14

Four more favorites from other makers

  1. 11

    Film stock

    Kodak Gold 35mm is a warm daylight favorite. A few rolls pair well with a film case.

  2. 12

    A half-frame film camera

    The Kodak Ektar H35 fits two photos in each 35mm frame, so a roll goes twice as far.

  3. 13

    A portable SSD

    A 1TB portable SSD, like the SanDisk Extreme, for the photographer who always takes one more photo.

  4. 14

    Spare memory cards

    Photographers are always losing track of SD cards. More space means more photos.

FAQ

Photographer gift questions

What is a good gift for a photographer?

Something they will carry every time they shoot: a leather camera sling, a leather camera strap or a case for their film or camera. Our list covers each, from about $20 to $120.

What do you get a film photographer for Christmas?

A waterproof film case and a few rolls of film. The Evergreen 56 holds 18 rolls of 35mm, the 57 holds 18 rolls of 120, and the 52 holds 7 rolls of 35mm or 5 rolls of 120. A leather strap suits a film camera too.

What are good gifts for photographers under $50?

The Evergreen 52 film case, the Minimalist leather camera strap, the 56 35mm film case, the 57 120 film case and the Heritage leather strap are all under $50. The GoPro case and the Fujifilm X100 case are $50.

What are good gifts for photographers under $100?

Add the Minimalist strap with Maglink and the Legacy Mini camera sling to the under-$50 picks. The Legacy Camera Sling 2L is $120.

Which camera fits in the Legacy Mini sling?

Compact cameras such as the Fujifilm X100VI, Ricoh GR III and X-E4 with the 27mm pancake, or a film point-and-shoot. For a mirrorless body with a second lens, choose the Legacy 2L.

Should I get a 28" or 38" camera strap?

The 28" length holds the camera high on the chest, a stance suited to street photography. The 38" length is for classic neck carry. All three of our leather straps come in both.

When should I order for Christmas?

Order by Dec 15 for delivery by Christmas. Most orders ship within 24 hours on business days, but our busiest weeks can take a little longer.

Are Evergreen film cases waterproof?

Yes. The 52, 56 and 57 film cases are IP67 waterproof and crushproof, and fridge and freezer safe.
