FT1 F-mount Lens Adapter for Nikon 1 Digital Cameras Compatible with 1, J1, V1
(NKFT1)
Pros: Built solidly and feels that way. It works as advertised and it easy to put on and take off. Very secure feel, even with large tele's connected on tripod.
Cons: A tad pricey at $230 plus. No auto focus with Nikon lenses other than Nikon 1 types. 4 stars because of price and auto focus.
Other Comments: It has made using my other Nikon lenses great fun to use. My 80-200 f/2.8 becomes a 240-600 f/2.8 give or take a few mm's. The 2.7 magnification makes video and picture taking of grandkids hockey and baseball games a blast allowing me to get very up close and personal. Manual focus was weird at first, but now I am very comfortable with it. If you are a birder or shoot sports and you have a Nikon 1 series, and numerous other Nikon lenses, I highly recommend this adapter.

Pros: Strong Construction, Firm Mount
Cons:
Other Comments: Adapter works great for getting extended reach from my full size lenses. Have coupled my f4 600mm lens on my V2for some amazing close ups. Would be awesome if it would allow continuous auto focus.

FT1 F-mount Lens Adapter for Nikon 1 Digital Cameras Compatible with 1, J1, V1
(NKFT1)
Pros: Firm Mount, Easy to use, Strong Construction
Cons: Defeats the compactness
Other Comments: I purchased the Nikon 1 V1 for its ability to fit in a pocket, and for unobtrusive candid photography. No one really pays attention to this great little toy. The FT1 adapter is easy to use and gives you a 2.7 magnification to most of your existing Nikkor lenses. Especially useful when you want extreme telephoto or faster aperature. However, your focus becomes 2.7 times more critical, so make sure your focusing sensors are on your subect! Even with the VR and VRII I would suggest a monopod when using the 300 or longer lenses; as the 300 is now an 810mm lens, and does not give any margin for error. But in all, you defeat having that great little pocket toy (serious toy as it is). Happy shooting, Kenn

FT1 F-mount Lens Adapter for Nikon 1 Digital Cameras Compatible with 1, J1, V1
(NKFT1)
Pros:
Cons:
Other Comments: This adapter allows you to use ~95% of Nikkor lens. I have 50mm f/1.8 manual lens that's 30 years old and was able to take great pictures with my J1+FT1. I've also use 18-55mm F/3.5-5.6 lens and 55-200mm f/4-5.6 lens and worked great.
Just need to remember that there is a x2.7 focal length multiplier with when DX lens are used on the J1 & V1 (CX).

FT1 F-mount Lens Adapter for Nikon 1 Digital Cameras Compatible with 1, J1, V1
(NKFT1)
Pros: Works as advertised, Nikon 70-300 lens works
Cons: Conflicts wRRS LBracket
Other Comments: You can't mount a tripod to the Nikon V1 via a Really Right Stuff L Plate (B1V1-L), in landscape orientation, while the FT1 is on the camera. You can mount the camera to a Really Right Stuff L Plate, in portrait orientation, when the FT1 is on the camera.
You'll want some type of mounting plate for the FT1 -- for convenience -- if you're going to use a tripod.
