    It's been done for years. Believe it or not in the 1970s Astranar sold a 400mm f6.3 lens called "The girl watcher". It was even advertised in magazines and newspapers under that name. Sent from my HTC One V using SeriousCompacts mobile app

    I really want the V3, but its out of my price range right now. Actually so is the J4. Whatever I buy I will need to save up for. I can frame pretty easily using my J1 with grid view on, but an EVF is sure nice on bright sunny days. I like tilting screens also. Actually my J1 is my first...

    ALEXCA, you can but a brand new Nikon 1 V2 kit from Henry's in Canada for $489., but you would need the WiFi adapter which you can get for as low as $30. If I had the cash right now I'd probably grab one before they are sold out. You wouldnt have a Nikon warranty but you would have a...

    The Nikon J4 will be sold in the US. $649 for the kit with the 10-30 lens. Suppose to be available by the end of the month. I'm saving for it. I'm buying one. With the lack of availability of the V3 I bet the J4s that they bring in sell out fast. Sent from my HTC One V using...

    Nikon J1 with Cosmicar 50 1.8

    This is a test shot at f8. Most people only shoot this lens wide open. Remember I'm only getting 8' at infinity. In brighter light you would get triangle shaped Bokeh, because the apperture stops down to a triangle shape. I will try to post a sample of this in a couple days Sent from...

    Nikon J1 with Cosmicar 50 1.8

    Thanks, ReD. It's a little low on contrast, but correctable in PP. I will test it tomorrow, but it will probably have bad C/A. These lenses don't fit all the way down in the adapter, so infinity is about 8'. Depending on how well it tests I might get the mount machined. Still a fun...

    Nikon Setting brightness on V1

    Jim I hadn't tried adjusting brightness before. I just tried it. It looks like you only get 3 choices. Negative brightness, 0, or positive brightness. It will save your choice of the 3. Not much adjustment, is it. I would think this adjustment is for adjustment of the picture not the...
