Nikon 1 NIKKOR 18.5mm f/1.8 Lens - Black

Product Information

Will this relatively paltry slab of silicon be able to grab enough photons to transmute my artistic will into eye-slashing files? The good news is that it is a very straightforward barreling, and not a more complex type of distortion as we sometimes find these days with lenses that have aspherical elements, so easily removed.

and f/4 since these are the most common apertures that people would want to use this and we’ll see the most changes happen with these values. Rationally, the J5 is not more frictionless than a digital camera with a conventional mechanical shutter, but it feels that way. The first time she wasn’t exactly thrilled (I had to twist her arm a bit…), but once we got home, and I deleted the vast majority of rejects and shown her the strongest photos, some of which you can see below, she was very excited.Food photography is a nice application for this little lens since it’s really a wide-angle lens so you’ll get the perspective of one.

Folks who visit my blog on a regular basis know that I like to shoot dogs, cats, macro and portraits.

As the light goes down this lens is not going to suddenly turn the V3 or other Nikon 1 into a low-light master. As I’ve already mentioned, the Nikon HB-N101 lens hood, designed for the 1 Nikkor 10-30mm kit lens, works perfectly on the 18. Use that effect to create flattering portraits, to draw attention to a particular area in your shots and much more. Get a V1 now before they are gone, and next year, when the RX100 goes down to nill, get that too for a pocket cam. We use cookies and similar technologies to recognize your repeat visits and preferences, and analyze traffic.

Other stuff you can’t do that I wish you could: go between zoomed-in images in review mode without zooming out. For example, the V1 has extremely precise metering and Auto WB, vastly superior to the both systems the E-M10 employs. It weighed more than the lighter members of Sony’s APS-C NEX line, which had more capable sensors (at least in terms of image quality). Pair it with the 1 NIKKOR VR 30-110mm, and cover a broad focal length range: from standard to telephoto.megapixel backside-illuminated sensor is not appreciably noisier than a good Micro Four Thirds sensor of similar vintage. But mostly because I was putting the lens through it’s paces shooting every type of situation I could think of. The apsc sensors have much more smoother, cleaner and less coarse look about that at base iso’s and higher. 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).

Chromatic Aberration: Yes, there’s at least a pixel’s worth of CA at all apertures, slightly worse in the middle apertures. They’re still the best option for most people who want an ILC system, but they’re bigger than they need to be. Slightly off topic here but I had to laugh seeing the pic of your Nikon taped up so as to hide the ‘Nikon’ and the ‘1’.This photo reminded me a lot of my old Fujifilm X20 in the sense that it looks rather “flat”, making it look a bit cheap.
