	A nicely-lit, unprocessed couple shot. Technique and camera settings: The flash was bounced at 90 degrees, and the D40 was set in Vivid mode for great pictures. Ben Herrmann adds his favorable opinion of the SB-400 flash here.	Nikon SB-400 flash
	Get an eyeful of this excellent full-sized image of a citrus fruit. The photographer has also posted his impression of the D40, which you can read here.	Nikon D40 kit lens (Nikkor 18-55mm II)
	Excellent, vibrant colors in this Childrens Gasparilla Parade photo gallery by M Cox. The huge and versatile zoom range of the Nikkor 18-200 allowed the capture of photos at 18mm focal length (sample) all the way to 200mm (sample). M sent me a message saying that the only postprocessing done to the images was cropping and using the Auto Brightness tool in Nikon Capture.	Nikkor 18-200mm VR AF-S DX lens
	1/60 sec is way too slow for a sharp shot at 135mm focal length, but I'm very impressed with the low noise levels of the beautifully-blurred background in this ISO800 photo - full-size available.	Nikkor 55-200mm f/4-5.6 G
	Photographs by Perl: Winter shots: Set 1 | Set 2 Indoor ISO1600 images Misc. comments: The Nikkor 70-200mm lens balances better on the Nikon D50 and D200 (source) The D40 (and D200) seem to do a better job exposing for snow scenes than the Nikon D100 (source). Perl shares the settings used.	Nikkor 70-200mm f/2.8 VR
	Simliz shares a fantastic series of mainly seagull photos. Click here to go to the Smugmug gallery where you can view the full-sized, unretouched images. I find the sharpness of the Nikkor 70-300 pretty good at 300mm, and wide-open f/5.6.	Nikkor 70-300mm AF-S VR
	JackBurton shows off some excellent shots: RC Tanks - the full-sized images can be seen at his RC Tanks and Cars Smugmug gallery. The IR battle system is explained here. High school water polo - full-sized images are here. More Nikkor 70-300 VR shots here.	Nikkor 70-300mm AF-S VR
