Buy new: Too low to display / Used from: $2,258.99
Now that I have the full frame back I can't live without it. ISO sensitivity is the best feature of this body.
Nikon MB-D10 Multi Power Battery Pack for Nikon D300 & D700 Digital SLR CamerasNikon MB-D10 Multi Power Battery Pack for Nikon D300 & D700 Digital SLR Cameras
Buy new: $259.01
An overpriced piece of rubber and plastic, but you can shoot longer with it.
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
This gets the most use of anything in my bag during weddings.
Nikon SB-900 AF Speedlight Flash for Nikon Digital SLR CamerasNikon SB-900 AF Speedlight Flash for Nikon Digital SLR Cameras
Buy new: $469.95 / Used from: $460.00
Once you disable the thermal shutdown these are just fine. I have 4 and I like them better than my SB-800s.
Harbor Digital Ultimate Light Box Kit for the Nikon SB900Harbor Digital Ultimate Light Box Kit for the Nikon SB900
Buy new: $67.95
I like this much better than the Gary Fong Lightsphere. When there's a white ceiling they're equal, but when you have no ceiling to bounce your flash the Harbor Digital is the way to go!
Nikon 14-24mm f/2.8G ED AF-S Nikkor Wide Angle Zoom LensNikon 14-24mm f/2.8G ED AF-S Nikkor Wide Angle Zoom Lens

The HD video is OK, More of a preview of things to come. One day we'll have 1080i at 30fps.
Nikon 70-200mm f/2.8G ED-IF AF-S VR Zoom Nikkor Lens for Nikon Digital SLR CamerasNikon 70-200mm f/2.8G ED-IF AF-S VR Zoom Nikkor Lens for Nikon Digital SLR Cameras
Buy new: $2,114.95 / Used from: $1,870.00
Nikon 16mm F/2.8D AF Fisheye Nikkor LensNikon 16mm F/2.8D AF Fisheye Nikkor Lens
I use this on my D90 more since it's my second camera and the fisheye effect isn't as exaggerated. When I need the full fisheye effect I put it on my D700.
Nikon 50mm f/1.4G SIC SW Prime Nikkor Lens for Nikon Digital SLR CamerasNikon 50mm f/1.4G SIC SW Prime Nikkor Lens for Nikon Digital SLR Cameras
Buy new: $449.95
I'll throw this on my D90 if I just want to carry around something lightweight.
Nikon 200-400mm f/4G ED-IF AF-S VR Zoom Nikkor Lens for Nikon Digital SLR CamerasNikon 200-400mm f/4G ED-IF AF-S VR Zoom Nikkor Lens for Nikon Digital SLR Cameras
Buy new: $6,299.95
I'm still learning how to master this, but needless to say it's an unbelievable lens. It stays at home most of the time.
Nikon 105mm f/2.8G ED-IF AF-S VR Micro-Nikkor LensNikon 105mm f/2.8G ED-IF AF-S VR Micro-Nikkor Lens
Buy new: $899.95 / Used from: $800.00
I sold my 85mm f1.4 and bought this since it would give me a lot more close-up capability than the 85mm and take up the same amount of space. It's all about earnin' your keep as a lens!
Nikon 20mm f/2.8D AF Nikkor Lens for Nikon Digital SLR CamerasNikon 20mm f/2.8D AF Nikkor Lens for Nikon Digital SLR Cameras
Buy new: $564.95 / Used from: $549.00
Seeing how I can't even find this lens, I would say I use it the least. Honestly, I can't say I miss it much although I wouldn't mind transforming it into a pocket wizard or two when I find it.
Lexar Media Professional Series UDMA 8GB Compact Flash 300xLexar Media Professional Series UDMA 8GB Compact Flash 300x
Buy new: $71.46
I have three of the 8 gigs but feel like I still want a little more so I'll probably buy a 16 gig soon.
Lastolite LL LR1250 12-Inch Ezybalance Card (Grey/White)Lastolite LL LR1250 12-Inch Ezybalance Card (Grey/White)
Buy new: $31.00
Great to white balance in camera. I like the digital grey kard over this to WB in post production.
Westcott 301 Photo Basics 40-Inch 5-in-1 ReflectorWestcott 301 Photo Basics 40-Inch 5-in-1 Reflector
Buy new: Too low to display
This is useful when trying to tame sunlight whether it's using the diffuser to get your subject in muted light or reflecting some light on them to compress your dynamic range. Just make sure you don't flash that silver or gold on them for too long; it's not the most comfortable feeling!

I don't even use this; I like the Harbor Digital one a lot more.

Buy new: $34.99
This is the head on my monopod. It doesn't do much, but on a monopod it's all you need.
Nikon SZ-2 Color Filter HolderNikon SZ-2 Color Filter Holder
Buy new: $11.95
I bought 8 of these and just leave colored filters in them so you're not changing the thin gel filters. It's easier to change the entire holder than the gels within the filters.
Nikon SC 29 - Flash synchro cable - flash terminalNikon SC 29 - Flash synchro cable - flash terminal
Buy new: $70.51 / Used from: $65.00
I need to buck up and get the shortened version of this soon, but for now I just wrap it around my bracket a few times.

So far, so good with these.
Lastolite Skylite Medium Frame 42" x 78" for Panel Fabric ReflectorsLastolite Skylite Medium Frame 42" x 78" for Panel Fabric Reflectors
Buy new: $104.49
This is a great background/diffuser (I have 1.25 stop white fabric in it) and even better if you have someone to hold it.
Nikon F 100 - SLR camera - 35mm - body only - blackNikon F 100 - SLR camera - 35mm - body only - black
Buy new: $1,799.00 / Used from: $275.00
Film still blows away digital when it comes to long exposure night photography so I have to hold onto this great camera although I will admit I still look at the back thinking I'm going to see the photo on the LCD.
NIKON MC30 Remote Cable Release (31.5 in)NIKON MC30 Remote Cable Release (31.5 in)
Buy new: $70.35
This works on my D700 and F100, but I just leave it attached to the F100 since it's primarily for night photography and landscapes.

Buy new: $120.00 / Used from: $108.99
This is my ball head for my tripod. It's not the most stable ball head with a heavy body and lens attached, but it's convenient and gets you into position quickly.
