Buy new: $1,949.99 / Used from: $1,060.00
My second SLR, a great improvement on my old D70S, high speed shooting modes and great ISO sensitivity make this a great all rounder for any photo op. 9 exposure bracketing comes in handy when doing HDR photos.

Buy new: $1,999.95 / Used from: $395.00
Great starter camera, my first and I loved it, 6MP though is sometimes not enough for big prints but the features in the camera are great and thats why I still keep this one in my bag just in case

Buy new: Too low to display / Used from: $389.00
Fabulous telephoto lens, VR is great for fast motion sports work, and handy enough, has same filter size as my 18-70. Since its mounted though to a DX format its "real" focal length is 105-450, which is plenty for most any situation.

Buy new: $889.95 / Used from: $760.00
Amazing macro lens, a bit pricey and quite bulky but focusing distance is so amazingly close that you can get fantastic macro pictures.
Nikon 50mm f/1.8D AF Nikkor Lens for Nikon Digital SLR CamerasNikon 50mm f/1.8D AF Nikkor Lens for Nikon Digital SLR Cameras
Buy new: $119.95 / Used from: $108.88
Great portrait lens with fast aperture, one of my personal favorites, compact and great optics make this a lens a keeper and by far one of the best lenses for the $$$ available.

One of the most fun lenses I have in my bag, has such a great dramatic angle of view that its fun to take pictures of random items. Use this with Capture NX2 software to convert the fisheye pics to a rectilinear photo with great results.

Buy new: $15.10 / Used from: $11.25
I use this remote with my D70s, works great but I'm not too big of a fan that you have to use the remote from the front of the camera. But for the price, its definitely a must have
NIKON MC-36 Multi-Function Remote Cord ( 33.5 inches )NIKON MC-36 Multi-Function Remote Cord ( 33.5 inches )
Buy new: $127.00 / Used from: $97.50
Amazing remote for use with my 300, being able to program in pictures hours apart give you the ability to take some extraordinary photos for cool stop-motion skyscapes or night sky movie clips.

A great small tool to keep in your bag for those little smudges while out in the field.
Nikon SB-800 AF Speedlight for Nikon Digital SLR Cameras - Old VersionNikon SB-800 AF Speedlight for Nikon Digital SLR Cameras - Old Version
Buy new: $749.95 / Used from: $349.99
Fantastic speedlight w/wireless capabilities, A great light for experimenting with lighting and using indoors. I bought this when the SB-900 came out so I was able to get it for a very good deal, I don't honestly see that much advantage that the 900 gives so I would recommend finding a good deal on an 800 and saving some money too.
Nikon R1 Wireless Close-Up Speedlight SystemNikon R1 Wireless Close-Up Speedlight System
Buy new: $459.00
Very cool close up lighting system for the macro lens, works wirelessly with the SB-800 and really helps to make some cool photos with unique lighting from multiple angles.

Tiffen 67mm UV Protection FilterTiffen 67mm UV Protection Filter
Buy new: $15.95 / Used from: $11.90
A must have for all your lenses, I always keep a UV filter on all my lenses at all times. Its better to break a $6 piece of glass than a $600 lens. Get Hoya if you want to have a nicer filter thats super clear but honestly the Tiffen is a great filter for the price.
Tiffen 67mm Circular PolarizerTiffen 67mm Circular Polarizer
Buy new: $51.95 / Used from: $47.99
A must have for anyone who wants to take pictures outdoors, a C-PL will greatly accent contrast in the scene without changing exposure much, the amount in negligible. Just mind that using a C-PL filter on a very wide angle lens tens to vignette the final pictures because C-PL filters tend to be a bit thick and extend slightly past the field of view on some wide angles.
Tiffen 52mm 25 Filter (Red)Tiffen 52mm 25 Filter (Red)
Buy new: $13.50 / Used from: $6.00
A fun filter to use if you want to experiment with black and white photography without using photoshop Also try blue and green filters too
