A trick I learned from a couple of old pros many years ago, and something I doubt many people here would consider, but I'll mention it anyway: we'd get a Kodak film cannister or two (what are now considered to be the antique or vintage aluminum ones) with the screw on caps, and tape them to the thin leather camera straps we used. They were perfect for carrying a roll of spare film, change, or little odds and ends. Of course, in those days we didn't have all the fancy accessories that we have today, and had to improvise a lot. Personally, I still like that old trick .... simple, cheap, sturdy, and, to me, the old cannisters look real cool taped to the old straps. The new plastic cannisters, BTW, don't work near as well.
