Most disappointing Nikon accessories

Screw caps for the motor drive terminals (already mentioned) - I have none left on four Nikons, and seem to need to order them from Japan to replace them.

 

The PocketWizard "Pre-Release" cable for the Nikon F5 (not made by Nikon, but rather for Nikon) - these puppies cost more than $150 each! We're talking about one meter worth of cable with a little box attached that keeps the camera "awake" (as if you were lightly depressing the shutter release). Naturally the price did not ultimately prevent me from acquiring two of these beasts, but it also bought me the right to complain about it.

 

The data backs are OK, but the Photo Secretary software was primitive. As perhaps a preview of things to come (think Nikon View and a D1), you could somehow link thumbnails (which you presumably had to scan in) of the photos you shot to the F5 shooting data...
