Does the Fark rehost thing change the color spacing? I use sRGB which is pretty much standard practice for the major browsers now

That doesn’t appear to be the case, I’m afraid:

That coverage is tiny! I might still go that way anyhow, I wonder if that covers the same area as the D7000 in DX mode?

I’m fairly sure that’s the exact same AF module as the D7000, just dropped into the FX frame size. The D700/800 one is bigger than that, but still too small for FX IMO.

This is something that tends to happen more with older lenses that predate DSLRs – sensors are more reflective than film, and they weren’t designed to deal with that.
