Some very good photos depict a "hyper-reality" where the saturation is
boosted (aka Fuji Velvia).  Second, the color balance on the newer
Nikons is already extremely good.  I understand the idea behind the
color-checker chart but it seems like the captured image is somewhat
subjective and *definately* dependant on the illumination.  Wouldn't
that make it difficult to use something like the expensive digital
targets?

On another note ... if you REALLY want to pimp your spectro ...
I know where you could get a CVD (Chemical Vapor Deposition) diamond
film coating for the nose.  Works as well as Teflon and takes the wear
down to practicaly zero.
