1. Nikon D40 + 18-55mm Lens - £249 (I wish I could afford this camera!)
2. Jessops 360 AFD Flashgun - £99 (A multi directional flash is far more functional, although admittedly not essential.)
3. Hoya 52mm 81C Filter - £26.50 (This provides a beautiful warming effect and slight colour correction. I would definitely use another filter for sky or water.)
4. Nikon 55-200mm Lens - £229
5. Nikon 50mm Lens - £119 (Unfortunately the auto focus on this lens does not work with the D40, but even so, it is so beautifully sharp.)
6. Jessops Flash Diffuser - £5 (Essential for flash photography to avoid harsh contrast. Although I suppose I would probably bounce the flash off the ceiling if indoors. If £5 is too much for you, you could always use a sock...they actually work wonders!)
7. Sandisk 8GB SDHC Card - £22.47

Today I was thinking of my ideal photography outfit. I wanted it to look smart, yet it had to be comfortable and functional as well. I posted both the oki-ni and ASOS outfits, so as to show how the same look can be achieved with two vastly differing budgets. Personally, had I the resources, I would love to mix and match both look pieces and budgets. I would also admittedly rather throw a 35mm Leica M7 or my Zenit EM into the bag, however I suppose it is the digital decade...
