Time flies! It\u2019s been just over a year<\/a> since I bought the D300, and I thought it\u2019d be fun to do a short post on what\u2019s happened to it over the first year I\u2019ve owned and used it.:)<\/p>\n

\"blog-2008-Rivervale-CIMG3237-toys\" Cost $2,450 then. Now it\u2019s $2,150. Not too bad price depreciation \u2013 whew!<\/p>\n

Had my first dust bunny in one month, but fortunately Ling could make time to send it to Nikon Service Center for cleaning.<\/p>\n

Bought six new lenses for it, and in addition to my venerable 70-210mm f4-5.6<\/a>, that\u2019s seven lenses.<\/p>\n

Bought a Manfrotto CF tripod and a Manfrotto monopod.<\/p>\n

Used the 18-55mm lens more than any other lens (no surprises there). Next lens was the Sigma 10-20mm<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Bought nine filters.<\/p>\n

Bought two Tamrac Adventure bags and one Lowepro bag.<\/p>\n

Bought nine photographic items from eBay.<\/p>\n

Bought the MB-D10 vertical grip for it.<\/p>\n

Finished two Blurb<\/a> photobooks.<\/p>\n

Frame counter on the D300: 10,857.<\/p>\n

Went on trips in Bali, Phuket and San Francisco.<\/p>\n

Went on two fireworks<\/a> shoots.<\/p>\n

Hasn\u2019t been dropped (yet). Whew.:)<\/p>\n

Bookmarked 12 camera equipment and photography sites that I check every other day.<\/p>\n

Total expenditure $7,747.00 in total on camera equipment. I\u2019m still thinking of a just one or two more peripheral items (no not the 70-200mm f2.8<\/a> LOL). E.g. a light tent. But these are comparatively low cost items, so no the second year\u2019s expenditure isn\u2019t going to be anywhere like last year\u2019s \u2013 thankfully! :)<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
