Jack Rolling Camera Bag – Brown
Dad will not only have a stylish camera bag, but a durable, heavy duty travel bag as well. This bag is weather-resistant, leather, and padded. It’s built to last and protect. It has heavy duty rollers, a telescoping handle, dual carrying handles, and adjustable interior dividers that can hold most – if not all – of dad’s camera gear. This bag packs a punch and it comes with a matching pouch to hold personal items as well.

For the traveling photographer. This Universal AC adaptor with USB port is affordable. Dad can charge his camera batteries while traveling to Europe, United Kingdom, Australia, and to the United States as the adapter features four electrical connectors. Included is a stylish, 100% leather zip up case for the adapter.

Rain sleeves are pretty important. Let me tell you why! When I lived in Hawaii, a really big movie/tv producer wanted to see some firework shots from everyone, as he’s also a photographer. Well, it just so happens that it rained on July 4th that year and I didn’t have a rain sleeve for my camera or my lens. So, I didn’t risk it and I didn’t get the shots that year. My story does ends well and I will blog about it (capturing firework shots) at another time. However, right now I just want you to know if your dad doesn’t already have a rain sleeve for his camera body, lens, and flash – it is a must buy. Every photographer needs to be prepared for the unexpected. The rain sleeve protects for handheld use and with tripod use. There’s also a rain sleeve flash version to offer extra protection if your dad shoots with a flash unit.

Vintage Camera
A vintage camera and a roll of film would be quite the thoughtful gift. Even if dad didn’t take dark room classes, or hasn’t picked up a film camera in years – no worries. He will likely enjoy that he has something new to learn or fiddle with. This could be a life saver you know. He may start a collection of vintage cameras and not only use them, but display them too. Then, your yearly gift giving just got a whole lot easier and meaningful!
Oh, and as far as where to get a vintage camera – I do not have any specific links for you, but I would recommend visiting your local camera store. You will not only be supporting a local business, but as well you will likely find the perfect vintage camera. Plus, you can pick up a roll of film from them too.
