A Listmania! list by K. Lim

Nikon D300 Body Only
1.  Nikon D300 Body Only by Nikon
The list author says:
  "Probably the best mid-range DSLR on the market to date. Opt for the D90 if you want a lighter option or do not need all 51 AF Points."
Used & New from: £460.00
5.0 out of 5 stars  See all reviews (30 customer reviews) | 2 customer discussions

Nikon AF-S DX 16-85MM
2.  Nikon AF-S DX 16-85MM by Nikon
The list author says:
  "The Nikkor 18-200mm has too many compromises (in terms of IQ) despite its useful range. If you're looking for excellent IQ and a lighter travel lens, this is it."
Used & New from: £399.99
5.0 out of 5 stars  See all reviews (21 customer reviews)

Nikon AF-S VR 70-300 f/4.5-5.6G IF-ED
3.  Nikon AF-S VR 70-300 f/4.5-5.6G IF-ED by Nikon
The list author says:
  "Unless you're a full-time professional, you do not need a F/2.8 dedicated telephoto zoom. This lens has AF-S, VR, amazing IQ, better range and at this price it's a steal."
£401.00   Used & New from: £310.00
4.6 out of 5 stars  See all reviews (50 customer reviews) | 3 customer discussions

Nikon 50mm F/1.4D Af Nikkor Lens
4.  Nikon 50mm F/1.4D Af Nikkor Lens by Nikon
The list author says:
  "50mm primes are small, supersharp and make excellent portrait lenses. Performs beautifully on FX cameras too if you decide to upgrade."
£213.38   Used & New from: £171.97
4.8 out of 5 stars  See all reviews (15 customer reviews) | 1 customer discussion

Adder AdderLink AV series - Rack mounting kit
5.  Adder AdderLink AV series - Rack mounting kit by Adder Technology
The list author says:
  "Ultra wide angle lenses are way more useful than you think. Learn to use them well and it'll return the favour. This one is half the price of the Nikkor but IQ is virtually identical."
Out of stock

Manfrotto 055XPROB Tripod Legs Only - Black
6.  Manfrotto 055XPROB Tripod Legs Only - Black by Manfrotto
The list author says:
  "The D300 (or D90) is a beast and weighs like one. You need a very sturdy tripod if you want tack sharp photos. Do not skimp on this ever."
£104.95   Used & New from: £94.99
4.8 out of 5 stars  See all reviews (52 customer reviews) | 1 customer discussion

Manfrotto 486RC2 Ball Head with QR Plate
7.  Manfrotto 486RC2 Ball Head with QR Plate by Manfrotto
The list author says:
  "A decent ball head will save you a lot of hassle. Do not use 3-way pan heads as they're primarily designed for video cameras."
Out of stock
4.8 out of 5 stars  See all reviews (8 customer reviews)

SanDisk CompactFlash 4GB Extreme III Memory
8.  SanDisk CompactFlash 4GB Extreme III Memory by SanDisk
The list author says:
  "Do not use large capacity cards (8GB,16GB++). Instead, use a few 4GB cards and you'll be able to save some photos in case one card dies. Because something is always better than nothing."
Out of stock
4.7 out of 5 stars  See all reviews (180 customer reviews)

Lowepro Vertex 200 AW Photo/ 15.4" Notebook Backpack For Digital SLR & 4-6 Lenses - Black
9.  Lowepro Vertex 200 AW Photo/ 15.4" Notebook Backpack For Digital SLR & 4-6 Lenses - Black by Lowepro
The list author says:
  "A quality camera backpack is essential to protect your gear on the move. Shoulder bags put too much strain and aren't as comfortable as conventional backpacks."
£132.96
4.7 out of 5 stars  See all reviews (21 customer reviews)

Nikon EN-EL3e Rechargeable Battery
10.  Nikon EN-EL3e Rechargeable Battery by Nikon
The list author says:
  "The battery on the Nikon D300 lasts a lifetime. Then again, you'll never know when you need one."
£32.60   Used & New from: £14.99
4.3 out of 5 stars  See all reviews (65 customer reviews) | 2 customer discussions

Nikon SB-600 Speedlight
11.  Nikon SB-600 Speedlight by Nikon
The list author says:
  "You do not need anything more than this on the D300. Set the inbuilt flash to CLS mode and you've got a wireless flashgun to go."
Used & New from: £190.00

Nikon MB-D10 Battery Pack for D300 & D700
12.  Nikon MB-D10 Battery Pack for D300 & D700 by Nikon
The list author says:

Giottos GTAA1900 Rocket Air Blower - Black
13.  Giottos GTAA1900 Rocket Air Blower - Black by Giottos

Nikon MC-30 Remote Cord
14.  Nikon MC-30 Remote Cord by Nikon
The list author says:
  "Expensive product for what it is, but will last way longer than cheapo 3rd party products."
£32.00   Used & New from: £26.00
4.1 out of 5 stars  See all reviews (20 customer reviews)

Nikon Af-S 70-200/2.8 Vr Ifed G Nikkor
15.  Nikon Af-S 70-200/2.8 Vr Ifed G Nikkor by Nikon
The list author says:
  "PRO ITEM: This lens is legendary. Constant f2.8 aperture, AF-S (Manual focus override) and VR - you know you want it. Beautiful all-purpose telephoto on both FX and DX."
Used & New from: £1,225.00
4.9 out of 5 stars  See all reviews (7 customer reviews)

Nikon 17-55mm f/2.8G ED-IF AF-S DX Nikkor Zoom Lens
16.  Nikon 17-55mm f/2.8G ED-IF AF-S DX Nikkor Zoom Lens by Nikon
The list author says:
  "PRO ITEM: An overpriced lens but this is very fast, sharp and well built. Not recommended for possible upgraders as it is DX only (Opt for the cheaper Tamron 17-50 and you'd be just as happy)."
£1,099.99   Used & New from: £600.00
5.0 out of 5 stars  See all reviews (7 customer reviews)

Nikon Sb-900 Speedlight Unit
17.  Nikon Sb-900 Speedlight Unit by Nikon
The list author says:
  "PRO ITEM: This flexible flashgun is huge, poweful and has Commander mode, but isn't really suitable for travellers (heavy!). Non-strobists should stick to the SB-600 as it will be plenty."
Used & New from: £308.88
4.8 out of 5 stars  See all reviews (36 customer reviews) | 1 customer discussion

Nikon 105MM AF-S VR 105 f/2.8G IF-ED Micro Nikkor Lens
18.  Nikon 105MM AF-S VR 105 f/2.8G IF-ED Micro Nikkor Lens by Nikon
The list author says:
  "SPECIAL PURPOSE ITEM: Excellent macro lens with good focusing distance. VR is not necessary since most macro work is done on a tripod, but still a plus. Excellent for portraits on FX too."
£693.88   Used & New from: £587.97
4.8 out of 5 stars  See all reviews (25 customer reviews) | 1 customer discussion
