...a camera or lens...
I was getting ready to load some 120 film for developing today and I got out my Photoflex Changing bag and thought..."that's one of my favorite things that's not a camera..."
So I thought I'd ask to see what everyone else might have that fits this topic...
Show me your Favorite Photography Related item that not a camera or lens...something that you just got or have had for years...
Here are a few Items of mine...
My Weston Ranger 9...I've had it just over 6 months...George @ QLM overhauled it for me in Jan. 2012...It has the Zone VI Dial and makes getting the right exposure so easy now...
My Nikor SS Developing Tank w/120 reels
It was given to me so I decided to give it a go...I like it for 120 but not for 35mm...
I've had this tank maybe two years now...never thought I'd use something other than the Paterson tanks...
My trusty changing bag...my wife bought it for me after I bought my 4x5 camera...it made loading 4x5 film so much easier...it's the only bag I use...
I've had it about 18 years now...
So...Let's see some of yours...

My Plustek 7400 scanner. It has brought me back into serious photography even though I have no room to set up my beloved Kaiser enlarger.

I was going to say my Sekonic TwinMate, but it filled up with pocket lint and then died in a fall, so... not sure. Probably the Olympus T-32 flash that I tend to mount on anything that'll take it.

My Nikon LS4000 scanner.
Probably a few other goodies like the tools I use to dismantle and repair my photographic gear.

I love this little tool...I just replaced my first blower with this guy...seems that whenever I try to blow dust off of anything I end up getting a little spit on it...these are well worth having...

Maybe this is to close to a lens, but my Rolleinars. They are really useful and dead simple to use.

My Gossen Digipro F light meter. Wonderfully simple interface, swivel incident hemisphere that allows a reading while looking at the LCD read out. Big in terms of area of the front face, good separation of buttons and big screen, but flat, ideal for getting in and out of an inside breast pocket. A single AA battery.
And my Leitz table top tripod with the small head, bought 1977 along with my first Gossen light meter, still working.
And my Gitzo monopod.
And my SHOOC finder for the 135.
And my Zeiss 21 and 25/28 finders.
And my A and A ACAM 1100 bag. Perfect for two Ms and three lenses.

Yeah, external meter. My favorite is the Minolta AutoMeter IV-F, but I've got a couple of others. Gossen Luna-Lux SBC and the little CosVoigt version II.
Tripods too, but I don't have one yet that I like enough to call a favorite!
I have recently acquired one of the little Leitz tripods. Very nice for what it is, but it's not a real tripod.

I really like my V700 and Plustek 7400, as they are my most used equipment not a camera or lens. But I fondle my new Leica 21mm brightline viewfinder most.

My Nikkor stainless steel tanks and reels. Had them for 40 years and they were used when I bought them. Just loaded and developed 24 rolls today and they still work as well as the day I got them.

Most important "accessory" would be my Mephisto shoes! Good shoes are essential for photography. They are expensive - almost battered M2 price but worth every penny. Can be CLA'd too if needed - including new soles.

My "IR Dark box", that has an IR camera inside and a monitor on the outside, so that I can load my Grafmatic as well as developing tanks with film, all while I monitor everything inside 
Only drawback is that I can't use it for IR film
