... Received a Nikon D40 (2006 6MP) yesterday. Love the warm CCD colours, but a challenging viewfinder with my fast, manual focus vintage lenses. Might go through trying a few cameras to find the best compromise compliment to the early lenses.

A good shallow depth of field here and a very pleasing bokeh. Not all modern cameras/lenses are quite that smooth.

Nice use of negative space in this composition

This is very well done. It looks like your new to you D40 is up to the task!

… Appreciate that Jim. However, since realized that the small viewfinder in the D40 is not enough to accurately focus manual lenses. So, I am going to try a full frame Nikon D610 next. As a friend said, I am working backwards… trying to find a body that will be the best compromise to get the best out of the vintage, manual focus lenses.
