Finally, the last piece has been added to the puzzle… well, the last major piece.  I purchased my SB-900 AF Speedlight from Nikon yesterday to complete the major accessories I needed for my camera.  If you don’t know, I’m currently shooting using a Nikon D90 with an Nikkor 18-105mm DX VR lens.  I post the pictures on this website.  See flickr to the right.

The price tag is a bit steep on this puppy but it really packs a punch at $487.50 with shipping (and no tax!).  Now, I need to decide if I want to use rechargeable or non-rechargeable batteries.  Take a peek at the specs on this piece of pie!
