The Nikon D3 is the modern era workhorse. A

12MP full-frame camera that has excellent image

quality and amazing high-ISO capabilities. The

larger pixel size and low density of the D3

ensures High framerates and high ISO Quality.

The D3X is a 24mp dynamo. It is an incredible

camera that really takes advantage of the awesome

line of Nikkor optics. Extremely expensive, but

worth the investment.

Nikon D7000

The D7000 is extremely under-rated. Providing

the best image of crop-sensor cameras at a very

modest price. This is a great dx-format camera is

an exceptional choice for photographers

who also shoot video

on a tight budget.

This ultra-wide is a great landscape and extreme

sports lens. Exhibiting very little barrel distortion

and excellent sharpness and colors, This excellent

glass has been around for a long time and is one of

my favorite go-to lenses.

An excellent wide angle lens exhibits extreme

sharpness and very little distortion. Colors are

extremely accurate, making this a perfect wide

angle for general use.

.

A perfect lens. The 35mm f/2 is optically near-

perfect and focuses quickly even in low light.

Nikkor 50MM f/1.4

A fast, sharp normal lens; this is a stapble for all

serious phtoographers. The Nikkor 1.8 lens is

plagued by flare and ghosting. This 1.4 version

is practically flawless.

.

.

Nikkor 60MM f/2.8

This sharp flat-field macro lens is excellent

in almost every way. It is a slow-focusing

macro, but aside from this shortcoming, it is

a great go-to lens in the normal range when you

need the best possible image quality and don't

need teh speed of the 50MM f/1.4

Nikkor 85MM f/1.8

This is an excellent short-telephoto portrait

lense that does a great job focusing in low-light. It

is amazingly sharp and has incredible color ren-

dition. If you purchase this great lens, also get

the metal lens hood. You will need it.

.

Nikkor 105MM f/2.8

This tack-sharp macro lens is a great, versatile

short telephoto. The earlier versions of this

great lens were compromised by slow-focusing,

but the modern versions are excellent

in everyway

Nikkor 135/2

An astonishingly beautiful lens for natural-light

portraits. Incredibly sharp and has a unique

adjustment to drive out-of-focus backgrounds

into a beatiful, creamy-smooth bokeh.

.

Nikkor 180MM f/2.8

This workhorse of a lens is under-rated by most

zoom-era photographers. It's legendary sharpness

and contrast make this distortion free lens an

excellent choice for anyone who doesn't need the

flexibility of Nikon's fine zoom lenses.

Nikkor 300MM f/4

This may be my favorite lens from the "under-

rated" category. Receiving condescending glances

from other photographer while using this, I get

just as sharp images as the "big boys" but without

the back pain. My daylight Supertelephoto.

Nikkor 300/2.8

The entry into the big-boy lenses. Extremely

sharp and almost perfect in any way. I grab

this lens for sporting events in low light. Rainy

days or evenings, this lens really shines. It's a

must-have for night games under the lights.

Nikkor 400MM f/2.8

The perfect supertelephoto for use in low-light

settings. An awesome birding lens and for general

wildlife photography in addition to large-field

sports.

.

Sigma 10-20 mm

This extreme-wide angle lens is unexceptional in

most every way. It's a great lens for the price and

provides decent image quality, but can not be

considered on-par with the Nikkor wide angle

lenses - zoom or prime.
