I've lost them countless number of times in various locations, but can never seem to find them again. One of the best parts abou Ebay is that you can find direct low cost alternatives to many things. Lens caps can be affordable if you know where to look. I've ordered 10 lens caps to keep at the studio at all times just so I have a lens cap when and where I need it. Here are some readily available lens caps for cheap:

While I'd love a brand new Nikon D90 this Christmas - the $1200 price tag is going to put it on the naughty list of things people just can't afford to buy.

So whats a hard working photographer supposed to do this holiday season when you start looking for Christmas gifts for yourself? Ebay!! Its the best place to spend that hard earned cash for great items that are cheap and will help grow your photography business in 2009.

Some of my best lighting buys have come from Ebay in the past and I am continually on the look out for new items that pop up every day - from new to used equipment there is a ton of great deals to be had on just about anything photography related.

I've listed a few holiday gift ideas below for your special photographer (or yourself!)
