Here's a few taken at Cambden Market with the Nikon V1, FT1 and Nikon 50mm f/1.4 AFS. I really like this combination as a walk about set up.

It's such a great set of kit that once got slated for a having a small sensor compared to the contemporary other kit. - nobody really bothered to test them properly or give 'unbiased' reviews.
So, they don't sell - simple! I suppose you could argue they were over-priced relatively speaking. The "Value for Money" rankings given by reviewers tended to throw people off.
You only have to look at the quality of the shots in this thread to see how good Nikon 1 Series is. My wife will never use a dSLR again, still using a V1 even though she had the opportunity to change to V2/V3.

I've just looked at the WEX site - the V3 is with a different lens package - the V2 is the 'standard' kit of wide zoom/tele zoom. The V3 is just with a different (PD) wide zoom.

According Mike the V2 works with it - can't see why it wouldn't with a V3.
Tamron 150-600mm doesn't with a V2 though

Awesome. That's a great lens. I used to have it but downsized to the 105.

Thanks.
I've also rigged a way to use an external flash (SB800 in this case) with the V2 for macro work (or whatever really).

Had the same experience with a Tamron 18-270 (IIRC) so chopped it in against a Nikkor 18-200 which does work well and gives a 540mm EFL at the long end.
While I'm here, here are a few more from the 1AW, one with the FT-1 and a long Nikkor prime... and the others with the 11-27.5 AW. Tested it's AW and FreezeProof capabilities in Iceland but managed to avoid the 2m ShockProof test!
600mm + 2x telecon. Noisy due to high ISO needed for handholding! The XF1 was about 30 feet away, if not a little more...

Thanks Mark - must be in the processing - I did reduce the "green saturation" ... but that should have reduce any green cast
what colour do you see .......... "green"?
I use my V1 mainly for Dragonflies with a 300mm f4 Nikon

You'd think Nikon would list which lenses will work with the adaptor.

Why would Nikon list lenses, other than Nikons, that would work with the FT1 adapter?

seems strange why some sigma lenses work but not others? wonder if its the adapter..

So the 1 series and the adaptor might actually sell? Rather than than people jump ship to other mirrorless systems like Sony?
if Nikon were so anti 3rd party lens they wouldn't allow tamron, sigma, Tokina etc to mount on Nikon bodies.

tried the v2 on my pentax spotting scope ( digiscoping) with the 10-30mm lens, plus coupling ring on eyepiece.. wet & crap light outside , so very pleased with this, this will be great for long distance waders or other hard to get birds..
this was 1/125s f5 iso2800 resting on bean-bag, no remote used...so should be much better, set up tidy...this was at 47mts measured in google earth.
