Photo of my equipment attached. What do you think I am lacking? Advice wanted.

Hello.

This is my gear. What do I lack that I should have?


Fact: I am here for the long run and committed to Nikon

Fact: I have heaps of access to reasonable quality used lenses and gear here in Osaka, Japan. Example, the 80-200mm f4.5 in the photo cost me $15, and the 75-300mm cost $75—both are in mint condition. Japan is very cheap for used camera equipment.


Thanks in advance,

Adam

Thanks Bill, also the 105mm was $200 including the original box and paperwork! Lucky buy that one but it doesn't have VR.

Nikon 35mm and 50mm, Tokina 11-16mm, ML-L3 remote, tripod, sb-700. How much of your money do I get to spend?

Hello Adam. I would say get a speed light, SB 600, 700, 800, or SB 910.

Those are all great bargain lenses. Happy shooting.

A good tripod would be my suggestion!

Just buy lenses that you'll actually use. Don't buy just for the sake of buying. And a flash, yes.and most definitely a tripod.

​+1 on the flash. I purchased a used SB600 and it really improved my images and opens a new door of creativity. I love bouncing the light or using a diffuser to give a nice, natural light on people without harsh shadows. It makes such a huge difference.
