Excellent "House Brand" circular polarizing filter from Best Buy! Sure, sure, I could have ordered a Tiffen or Hoya from Amazon, or stopped down at the local camera store in town, but I saw these on the rack at Best Buy and decided to buy one. $27 bucks? Seriously? That's it?
The clarity is amazing for the price! Works like a charm, does not get all hung up in the threads of the lens. Overall it is an excellent CPL for the money!
I would recommend this to a friend!

Nikon AF-S DX NIKKOR 35mm f/1.8G Standard Lens: Whether you're a beginner or professional, you'll love this compact, lightweight lens from Nikon. The normal angle of view captures approximately what the human eye sees, making it a great all-around lens. Plus, the f/1.8 maximum aperture is ideal for creating softly blurred backgrounds and shooting in low light.
Incredible lens to go with the other Nikon ones...

This is *THE* main lens to get after you buy your Nikon DSLR (D3500, D5600, etc..) See, the Nikon's come with "kit" lenses (as they are called) and are the standard 18-55mm small zoom, and sometimes it comes bundled with the larger 70-300mm zoom.
Anyway... The 18-55mm lens is great for starters and gets you going. But then you want to really get into photography and get sharper images, blurred background, etc... so you need a more wide open (i.e. "f-stop") lens.
You could use the 18-55mm lens and set it on 35mm and that would be okay, but it wouldn't be as sharp as a real, true, dedicated 35mm lens that goes all the way open to f/1.8!!
The other factor is that with the DX format, it as a 1.5x "crop factor", so that means that a 35mm lens actually produces a photo at 52.5mm (extremely close to the famous "Nifty Fifty" - the 50mm lens). If you bought Nikon's DX version of the 50mm lens, well then, it would calculate out and produce a photo that is 75mm.
Long story short... This lens is amazing and so sharp and produces photos exactly like the human eye perception. You will LOVE this lens! Trust me on that!

This is a fantastic camera bag for a Nikon DSLR. It hold the camera + lens in the center, two more lenses on the side compartments, the charger and whatnot in the opposite side, and perhaps a flash in as well in the other two opposite side compartments.
Always keep it buckled, as if you grab the top carrying strap and it's not buckled.... Uh... you are going to dump everything out all over the place!
Lastly the the "be careful" warning in the title of this review -- This is a fantastic camera bag, don't get me wrong, but it says right there in plain sight "NIKON" in a big emblem right on the front flap! Nothing says "I'm a fancy camera - steal me!" than these Nikon bags, Canon bags, Sony bags, etc... I use mine to store my Nikon D3500, lenses, etc... in it at home. When simply going somewhere local, I'll bring the bag as is. If my wife and I were to travel, check baggage at an airport or Lord knows what, we would NOT use the Nikon bag! You know what I'm saying... We'd never see our camera again! We have a plain, generic, backpack that also holds camera gear, lenses, etc... and we use that when traveling.
