From cameras and lenses to bags, photobooks, and watches, these are some items that have inspired us the most at Camera West, CW Watch Shop, and Leica Store San Francisco over the past year. We believe they're worth sharing with you and passing along to others this Holiday Season. This eclectic collection might seem a little out of the ordinary, but it's often the unusual things that inspire us to create, engage, document, or discuss what we see around us through these tools of time.
Tools For
Capturing.
Capture the world around you with these tools and mediums for capturing your story from analog cameras, to film and even compact cameras, perfect for everyday carry.
Tools For
Carrying.
We all need various ways to carry our photographic tools, from bags to straps and everything in between. Over the past year, we've discovered some incredible bags & straps that are both extremely useful and enjoyable to use. We think you'll find them just as delightful.
Tools For
Collecting.
The art of collecting is an integral part of the creative process. As photographers, we all have collections of items that intrigue and inspire us in our craft. From photo books to watches to other fine accessories, these are a few things that aid us in our creative journey.
Tools For
Creating.
A hammer serves one purpose, a screwdriver another. The same can be said about optics—these tools help us create and capture different emotions and styles. Light Lens Lab, a new brand we introduced at Camera West in 2024, offers unique modern reinterpretations of vintage lenses. We're enjoying these lenses for their usefulness and the pleasure they bring to photography.
Tools For
Customizing.
Tailor your photographic tools to meet your needs and aestetics with these small, and seemingly insignificant accessories that can make a whole lot of difference in addition to making ideal small gifts!
