The best three Lenses for Nikon 1 - 32 1.2, 18.5, 6.7-13

[@My-Opinion-Doesnt-Matter]

Full frame FOV & DOF equivalent: 32mm f/1.2 ~ 86mm f/3.2 18.5mm f/1.8 ~ 50mm f/4.9 6.7-13mm f/3.5-5.6 ~ 18-35mm f/9.5-15

[@Dobrynichev]

Меняется только угол зрения и глубина резкозти. Но СВЕТОСИЛА остаётся НЕИЗМЕННОЙ!

[@Mindtraveler3]

I can't bring myself to buy the 32 f/1.2. I keep my 50 f/1.8 and FT-1 on the camera most of the time. I love the 135 equivalent and f1.8 or f/2. works like a charm.

[@syakugannoikamusume]

Wow I bought 6.7-13mm f/3.5-5.6 yesterday. Expensive but reasonable, in my opinion. Come for my summer holiday!

[@HiFiHuff]

Take a look at my OM-D review and Nikon 1 or 32 1.2 review on the site.

[@Shorty15c4007]

Just snagged a V2 with the 10-100mm lense for $500. Can't wait till it gets here. I'll probably get a 18.5 next.

[@HiFiHuff]

Of course not, never have been in my life, never will be. Doesn't work like that. Everything I write about or test is either bought by me, or loaned to me for 2 weeks. The 32 1.2 I tested by renting it from lens rentals. Liked it so much I bought it. The V1 is one of my fave cameras because of what it offers in all areas, as well as the low cost, build, size, and now lenses.

[@boringnation]

I'm just missing the 32mm but I plan on getting it before the end of the year. Love the UWA zoom and the 18.5mm, I always have them with me (as well as my V2).

[@Phillydog1958]

Great job, Steve. I have the V2 and the 6.7-13mm. I also have the 18.5mm. How do you like the 6.7-13mm? I love it.

[@luller6]

It is not overpriced - all you who don't have it - steve is right, this lens is the best thing i ever bought and it IS a bargain for what it delivers. AF speed and accuracy, size and weight, incredible resolution, full usable 1.2, great colors and contrast. 1.2 is NOT 3.2 in full frame - it is still 1.2 but has somehow the DOF of an 3.2 full frame, this lens is so damn good !

[@swrilgroove]

Thnxs Mr Steve for the review

[@HiFiHuff]

I spell words wrong on a regular basis, doesn't bother me. I think I type to fast :)

[@Nosloveingneko]

Just got an S1 for less than $40, thought id look some lenses. Jesus christ the prices scare me.

[@MasticinaAkicta]

+Nosloveingneko A shame really but yes the Nikon 1 system doesn't has lenses from external makers. And the Nikon 1 lenses are pretty damn awesome but yeah also pricy. If you want cheaper options and more options there are other systems. But the lenses the Nikon 1 system has are pretty much awesome.

[@ParthMonishKohli]

is that a focusing ring on the 18.5?

[@bryanazbel5440]

Would Nikon 1 NIKKOR 32mm f/1.2 Lens make scence with J5 camera? Or only on V3?

[@fenjen]

It's very good for the J5

[@neotv735]

HI! If you have to choose CANON KISS X7 or NIKON 1....what you choose?i wanna use with SIGMA 30mm 1.4...its that compatible...anyway...if anyone have any ideas.

[@ssigeek87]

is it possible with a nikon 1 s1?

[@duanemcclun9924]

I'm curious if you have ever tried using the FT-1 adapter with the V2?

[@igetsmart]

Does it not use the Sony RX100 1 inch sensor? Would not the Sony RX100 M2 with the ExmorR sensor perform better in low light? Lenses crazy costly, same price for such small lenses compared to say the M43 primes that are larger or even the APS-C size lenses - a killer foor me is lack of buttons or manual controls - hate menu diving

[@Phillydog1958]

I cringed every time you laid a lens down on it's rear, without the rear lens cover on. I'm always concerned about damaging a lens. :-)

[@BoxxyFan]

$900 for an f/3.2 equiv portrait lens? Haha, good one Nikon.

[@jkennekam]

Where did you get the little 'flash' mount on the V1?

[@Shad0wmoses]

where can i get a good grip for this?..edit:nvm just went over the part where you say.

[@rpba81]

hi there, any pointers on the neck strap you got on the cam?

[@BIGBADALEXIS]

Can I find a grip from fotodiox for the j1???

[@naxiime]

Can 32mm f/1.2 use with nikon 1 j1?

[@craigharding6443]

The problem with these types of reviews is that Steve Huff is obviously claiming these three lenses are the "best" for his style of shooting. Period. Are they the best for your of my use? Probably not so much. In fact, they are somewhat unsuitable for my use entirely. All three of these are way too wide for my needs even considering crop factor. Which would I use for birds or baseball? How about airshows and wildlife? None of these are particularly well suited for any of these endeavors or similar events, so one must take a review like this with a grain of salt, understanding the author likes these choices for his interests only, and considering this, I'm sure they are great choices. I purchased the V3 specifically for bird photography in that the huge 2.7 crop factor allows me to put 18 megapixels on a distant target. With the FT1 adapter, I can do this with my current Nikkor 400mm and 500mm lenses. Even the new 70-300 CX mount does a great job for my uses. In my professional portrait studio, I'll continue to use my D800 and Nikkor 85 f/1.4G as they are better suited for this use. So, good review as long as you add "for my particular shooting style" these are the best three lenses for the Nikon 1. Your mileage may vary.

[@villegas24]

I should get this camera but then again , I just got my Fuji x100s..

[@BLAGOJAD]

Pardon me for asking Steve but, are you sponsored by the manufacturers whose products you're presenting (alas Nikon here)? Great videos as usual I'm just interested since the 1.2 lens is way overpriced to be even semi-considered and considering the other systems' alternatives.

[@0kitten00]

Where did you get the grip from.

[@Firebrand911]

***** He says Photodiox on Amazon in the video at 5:13.

[@Wavester64]

Firebrand it's *Fotodiox* - and unfortunately they do not make one for the J1, just the V1

[@rmoshammer]

The lenses you showed are very good - but, what about taking movies or pictures from you family, children, pets and so on outdoors? I am e.g. also pretty happy with the 10-100mm 4-5,6 in broad daylight. Thats the only movie lens I want to carry around outdoors....

[@pliiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii]

i dont get the pertinence of having a v1 instead of a regular dlsr camera. It aint as good and is almost as big

[@31Emina]

Can anyone of these 3 be used on the Nikon 1 S1?

[@zvdfk]

yes all of them I believe

[@TomZentra]

But you are not buying the lens to throw away in a year or less. The V3 is coming and one day there may be a V4.

[@rcastro0]

FYI Clicking on your link I get an error ("Error 521 Ray ID: 121d021afbe807af").

[@arilious]

do you need an adapter for these to fit?

[@IcarusB1]

Nope - these lenses are designed for Nikon's Compact System range: S1, J3 (or previous J1 & J2 models) AW1 and V2 (or V1),

[@edwardrex6458]

You need an adapter for regular Nikon DSLR lenses. And other brands. There are naive to the system.

[@clifffor1179]

Seriously overpriced.

[@BoxxyFan]

It's so funny how hard Steve tries to justify the price tag. I feel sorry for the few suckers that fell for it.

[@ColoredIceberg]

Pinky Baloo Yeah, I mean I love my little V1, but everything is overpriced and the kit lens is absolutely abysmal. I slammed an old 50mm f1.8 Minolta MD lens on it with some shady cheap adapter between it and even that was sharper at f1.8 than the kitlens at f3.5. DXO Mark rates the V1+10-30 kit lens at 3 P-MP. For the same price as that 32mm f1.2 you could buy a new Sony a6000 with cash to spare for a nice second lens. So if you buy that lens you could have had an APC mirrorless camera with more than twice the megapixels, a better kit lens, 1080p60, XAVC codec, much more native lenses, lower depreciation + a second lens. If you then sell your V1 (which I am not going to do because I am attached to it :D) you could probably even go for quite a fancy second lens, or buy the a6000 body and get a seriously good standard zoom lens.

[@xbob808x]

You spelled equivalent wrong, I always spell it wrong too though haha

[@Sjekster]

I'm very hesitant to spend 800+ bucks on any lens, let alone one for a system with such a small sensor.....

[@LiamDuffProductions]

Hhhmnh... I'll be a bare-ass’d monkey's uncle, she was right! Shit.. Here, I thought furr~Shure, I had it bad throughout stupid fucking junior-high & high-school, with that 1 asshole EVERY fucking year, that realized MY last name rhymes with "puff" & runs with it. Or the worst... "TUFF" ouch. (actually, tuff bothered me, only as it happened & now that I recall, really only ever came from the 1 girl in particular, an ex & she did promotional/model-shit for J.Daniels, so truthfully I'm ahead) Anyways, hopefully this declaration does indeed find you in good form, & the weight of this fact roster (I never even knew such a thing existed) doesn't get you all huffy n puffy n shit.

[@arilious]

...youre high
