Help getting close to SOOC of Nikon D200

[Kroensburg]

I got a D200 recently to have some fun with a CCD sensor. Most of the time, I love the colors in the JPGs that come straight out of it with Vivid or More Vivid set in Optimize Image.

Sometimes I would like to do just a little tweaking to the image, but then I lose all the color that I originally liked on the image and I struggle to get it back properly. It’s not just saturation that I’m losing, it seems like some colors are rotated.

I’d love to get to a base preset I could use for the D200 that gets me close to Vivid or More Vivid. The darktable camera preset for the D200 is not that.

I’m attaching the a RAW and the JPG the camera gave me.

I feel I have come reasonably close by adding saturation in AgX and rotating the red primary on the input side.
