 | Nikon D80 10.2MP Digital SLR Camera Kit with 18-55mm f/3.5-5.6G AF-S DX VR Nikkor Zoom Lens
Buy new: $1,299.95 / Used from: $795.95 I was close to buying a D60 for the extreme light/small size but the viewfinder on it was too restricting. I felt like I was looking through a 'cheaper' camera than I know it was. The D80 feels nice in my hand and I like the two command wheel's for navigating the controls.

 | Nikon 20mm f/2.8D AF Nikkor Lens for Nikon Digital SLR Cameras
Buy new: $569.95 / Used from: $409.99 This one is shipping as I type. I am partial to the wider end of the focal range, especially for indoors people pictures and big landscapes. Its also supposed to be VERY sharp and lightweight/small.

 | Nikon 60mm f/2.8D AF Micro-Nikkor Lens for Nikon Digital SLR Cameras
Buy new: $479.95 / Used from: $409.97 I actually have the older Nikon 55mm f/2.8 Micro (AF, non-D). Supposedely the same optics of the 60mm 2.8 AF-D and I can honestly say it is fantastically sharp. The focus does tend to hunt though.

 | Nikon 180mm f/2.8D ED-IF AF Nikkor Lens for Nikon Digital SLR Cameras
Buy new: $914.95 / Used from: $445.99 I have the non-D version of this lens. It is nothing less than stellar. I got a great deal on craigslist and didn't expect to use it all that much - I was wrong, I love this lens!

 | Nikon 18-55mm f/3.5-5.6G AF-S DX VR Nikkor Zoom Lens
Buy new: $184.13 / Used from: $129.99 Kit lens came with my D80. I don't like the build quality or look but the images are just fine. A bit slow and bigger on my camera than I prefer for my main walkaround lens. It is very light though.

 | Nikon 70-300mm f/4-5.6D ED AF Zoom-Nikkor Lens with HB-15 Hood - Refurbished by Nikon U.S.A.
I've owned this one almost 10 years, its lightweight, a great range and tolerably sharp. Not very fast but at this price what do you expect. If I was buying new I'd look at the 70-300mm VR or the 55-200mm VR for a similar range.

 | Nikon C-PLII - Filter - circular polarizer - 62 mm
Buy new: $94.36 You'll note that the 20mm, 70-300mm, 85mm, 60/105mm macro's all take a 62mm filter...
Also w/ a 62-52mm step down ring the 18-55mm works too, plus a bunch of other great primes.

 | Nikon MB-D80 Multi-Power Battery Pack for the Nikon D80 & D90 Digital SLR Camera
Buy new: $150.73 / Used from: $114.99 I don't own this.
I am really considering it after I saw the guy who bought my 24-120's rig w/ one. I am torn on whether to pay for the nikon one or get a cheaper one... I may try to rent one for a weekend.

 | Nikon EN-EL3e Rechargeable Li-Ion Battery for D200, D300, D700 and D80 Digital SLR Cameras, Part 25334
Buy new: $38.84 / Used from: $29.00 One extra battery is a must, perhaps several...

 | OP/TECH 37012 Pro Loop Strap for Camera Equipment (Black)
Buy new: $12.70 This strap is pretty nice. I do find it slightly shorter than I prefer, especially for slinging over one shoulder. It is also pretty stiff, but its new so we'll see.
Its better than the stock Nikon one and for $12 its worth it.
