[QUOTE="Geoffc, post: 281155, member: 8705"] To get you colour right you need to achieve the following: 1. Get the White Balance right. It sounds like you know how to do that. 2. Get the exposure right. A handheld meter is the idel solution. 3. Shoot RAW and process in something like Lightroom. 4. Create a colour profile using the Xrite Colour Checker passport. Look this up on the web. I have one and it shifts the colours to correct them if used properly. 5. Calibrate your monitor with a Spyder or Color Monkey. This will typically make the monitor a lot darker but it is true to how a print will look. As for the D40 I've never used one. A D7000 or D7100 would be a great stup up in technology, which can autofocus with any autofocus lens but may not be required to solve your problem. The steps suggested would still apply. [/QUOTE]
