Recommended D750 accessories and buying advice.
I recommend buying photographic equipment from a local store where you can handle the equipment and get advice from a knowledgeable salesperson. If you don’t have the convenience of a local store, purchasing over the internet needs to be done with caution. If you are in the US, do not buy equipment marked “import” or “gray market”. Do not buy from a store that offers prices that are significantly cheaper that what others offer. There are a lot of unscrupulous outfits out there selling photo equipment and it will not end well for you. The following links are provided as a convenience for you and will generate affiliate income to help defray the cost of maintaining this site.
The following lenses are highly recommended for the D800:
Nikkor 16-35
Nikkor 24-70
Nikkor 70-200
Nikkor 105 Micro
We also recommend the Nikon SB-910 flash
Happy shooting!
