The amount of detail you could get from this little thing is amazing, this is the best-value lens for the Nikon 1 system.

is the sixth lens in our growing 1 NIKKOR lineup and an excellent addition to every photographers bag. I have just bought the V1 yesterday and am satisfied that it was a good choice after looking at the results with the lens you reviewed. But it had to be small and light enough to fit in my man-purse along with a 35mm film camera, and ideally in a jacket pocket by itself, and it had to be relatively cheap. As Craig states in his review, every camera has its purpose (and characteristics) so you have to choose accordingly.

Vignetting: Again, a surprising amount with there being more than a stop and a half wide open, and still about two-thirds of a stop at f/2.

may not be utilized, directly or indirectly, to inform, train, or improve any artificial intelligence program or system. As you’d expect, a normal prime mounted on any Nikon 1 body makes for a reasonably compact and light package. You can also see slight rounding on the top and bottom of the night photo of the wooden fish sign shot through a window.Stopping it down to about f/4 helps but you’ll lose a lot of blurriness as a trade-off for cleaner-looking blurs.

The lens itself doesn't have much to complicate it - in fact there are no control surfaces of any kind, not even a focusing ring. You know that movie trope where a guy who doesn’t know what he’s doing fires a machine gun and it jerks wildly in his hands and ends up stitching the ceiling with a dozen holes before he can get his finger off the trigger?The VFA target should give you a good idea of sharpness in the center and corners, as well as some idea of the extent of barrel or pincushion distortion and chromatic aberration, while the Still Life subject may help in judging contrast and color.

Unfortunately, in so small a package, something's got to give, and the lens shows some amount of chromatic aberration in the wider apertures. On a related note, the Face Priority feature does a good job of finding peoples’ mugs and locking focus (without too many false alarms), but strangely, the camera doesn’t seem to bias exposure towards the faces. As appropriate, we shoot these with both full-frame and sub-frame bodies, at a range of focal lengths, and at both maximum aperture and ƒ/8.So the J5 has a PASM dial (along with a bunch of inscrutable little pictures), two control wheels, a nub of a finger grip, and a flip-out screen (a big bonus for me, since I love TLR-style shooting as long as the image isn’t reversed). It’s so fast that the J5 thinks it can get away with not taking a photo if it hasn’t locked focus in AF-S mode. That wouldn’t make sense for general photography, but for the kid pics that I’m doing, it’s almost always nice to have a little subject separation. All you have to do is blow out the shadows and you can see how worse off even m43 is, let alone the cx. I’m not comparing Apple to Nikon but the fact that Apple had a great product, as does Nikon, but it was misunderstood, like the Nikon 1 series).
