Gift-Shopping for a Photographer?
Well, don’t worry — you do NOT have to break the bank to get a good, useful gift for the photographer in your life! Here at Mike Crivello’s, we have a LOT of options for your consideration! Let’s talk about a few of them!
For the Photographer Who Likes Something Old Something New: These Fotodiox lens adapters will allow you to put almost any old, manual-focus lens (and newer AF ones, too) on the new mirrorless cameras! Most of our adapters are for SONY E-mount and Microfourthirds.
For Any Photographer, Whether You’re Using a Phone or a DSLR: maybe you’re a SnapChatter or a vlogger and working your phone as your main video-capture device — then you definitely need a proper clamp to attach that phone to a mini-tripod. These accessories from JOBY and MANFROTTO will open up heretofore unexplored possibilities for your photo and video adventures! I use my phone-clamp regularly, and take my PIXI tripod everywhere!
For the Photographer Who Has a Camera: That’s right, >every photographer< has a camera, and every photographer needs a way to carry and protect their equipment. Help YOUR photographer transport their gear in style with a TENBA or THINK TANK PHOTO bag, pouch, or backpack — and they’re all 10% off right now!
For the Photographer Who’s Patriotic: Get them an OPTECH camera strap that is Made In The USA!
For the Outdoors Adventurer Who Also Happens to Be a Photographer: Not every photo-accessory is a lens or flash — for the photographer whose photo-ops are out in the wild, a good accessory is a VULTURE EQUIPMENT WORKS knife
For the Photographer Who Wishes They Had a Batman-Like Utility Belt: THINK TANK PHOTO and LOWEPRO lens and accessory pouches are great for event/wedding photographers, and photographers who just need that extra lens or flash at immediate reach. They can be attached to any regular belt, or the brand-specific belt — I’ve used them both ways to good success. :)
For the Photographer Who Says “This Light Is Nice, But I Just Wanna Tweak It a Bit”: LASTOLITE reflectors are a great way to simply and inexpensively modify available light and flash. Step up your lighting game with one of these accessories!
For the Photographer Who Likes Their Light Just a Bit Off-Axis: Whether you’re doing photographing macro subjects, a wedding reception, or a family portrait, a TTL Cord is a great, easy way to extend your flash’s potential. Get OUT of the camera’s hot-shoe! Check out our cables from long-time flash maker, METZ!
For the Photographer Who’s Rocking That DIY-Gift Style: Are you printing out your photos as gifts this year? If you’re running low on inkjet paper, we’ve got you covered! Check out our INKPRESS and ILFORD supply of quality papers!
And, once the holidays are over, make sure you visit us to get your photos printed up! Whether you’re shooting film or digital, we’ve got a Day-Deal for you! Drop off your C-41 color negative film on FILM WEDNESDAY for special pricing, and order digital prints from our in-store kiosk on DIGITAL TUESDAY for Buy One Get One, up to 100 prints, and up to 8x10 in size!
