Unbelievable technical innovation from my old D70. I don't feel the need for FX yet because I'm mostly shooting close-up portrait. This is the best DX DSLR with stunning AF and Metering...

I was tempted to buy 14-24 but there was no option to use filer at least for protection. It works as stand zoom lens on DX but good wide angle zoom for FX. Optics...no question at all!
Nikon 24-70mm f/2.8G ED AF-S Nikkor Wide Angle Zoom LensNikon 24-70mm f/2.8G ED AF-S Nikkor Wide Angle Zoom Lens
Buy new: $1,799.95
In short, the very best standard zoom lens for entire lens brands. Some say 24-70 is not adequate for DX but I think it suits my need better than 17-55. You do not have to see the review... If you have $1,600? just get it!!! Best bet for FX either...

This is my favorite pro glass from Nikon!!! Without it, I wouldn't be able to capture my daughter's ballet performance (they do not allow Flash light for safety issue). Crystal clear portrait with gorgeous.. bokeh Took three months to get mine ($1,600) but worth the long wait.

Very very good 3rd party 50mm prime lens. With fast 1.4F and beautiful bokeh... It is heavy and expensive but beats the performance of Nikon

Nikon SB-400 AF Speedlight Flash for Nikon Digital SLR CamerasNikon SB-400 AF Speedlight Flash for Nikon Digital SLR Cameras

As Ken Rockwell said, This is the most often used flash I have. Versatile (small and light weight) and cheap !!! My kids do not get scared with this flash :) Just enough light source for in-door (house) shooting with bounce capability.

My second Nikon flash light for more demanding situation. Still SB400 is my favorite but sometimes, When you're using near 70mm zoom lens, When you have a high ceiling, When it is pretty dark... You would need this!!!
