Pros:
|
Solid, relatively lightweight
|
Cons:
|
Basic tripod

A good, solid relatively lightweight entry level or travel tripod. This is just a basic tripod but a great one. I no longer use this but only because my needs have changed and will use this or similar again when needed.

Pros:
|
Good quality for a zoom in full frame format
|
Cons:
|
No really for this class of lens
|
|
All the resolving power I need. This lens stays on my Nikon. Unless I'm shooting medium format, this is the lens I use. I've used primes that are better, but as far as Nikon zoom, this is my top choice.

Pros:
|
This is a good solid camera body as you would expect from the Nikon D series. Despite being 12MP vs the 16MP D4, it has excellent resolving power and I've made prints up to 48 inches of my figure/model photos.
|
Cons:
|
This is an older model, I no longer use it, but had no real complaints. It does lack minor updates and features compared to its successor

Pros:
|
Sharp for a zoom, quick focus
|
Cons:
|
DX format
|
|
This is my favorite lens when using the D2Xs. It is pretty good when you don't have a lot of room to get back from your subject. Minimal distortion. Some ghosting under back-lit conditions, but shouldn't be a problem for studio work where you have control of the light. Versatile enough that you can be lazy and not change lenses so often.
