Six must-have camera accessories if you’re just starting out
There seems to be many beginners in photography, who enthusiastically buy a mirrorless or DSLR-camera, use it intensively for two weeks, and then never touch it again.

I usually hesitate to use words like “essential,” but sometimes it’s the little things that pack the biggest punch.
