[QUOTE="JA Warrior, post: 145408, member: 14067"] Thanks for the insight!:encouragement: I was still using the same lighting because of how well it had worked with the Casio. I found I didn't have to edit the colors nearly as much as I did with incandescent bulbs. I'll try them, or warm fluorescent, with this Nikon, though, to see if color rendition gets better. BTW, yes I have been doing jpegs. I've never worked with raw files before, but will also give that a try. I have always used Photoshop Elements for editing. I also have View NX2 installed, but haven't tried it. I did some checking of buyer reviews for the reversing ring. Based on their comments and uploaded photos it seems the ring would mainly be for extreme close-ups of very small things, right? I would be doing close-ups of things from small figurines, such as Precious Moments, on up to much larger size items. My 18-55mm kit lens frames the items well, but I still see distortion such as two candlesticks, side-by-side, appearing to be tipping away from each other - as if on slanted surfaces. [/QUOTE]
