Nikon V1 - 1 Nikkor 18.5 f1.8

Nikon V1 - 1 Nikkor 18.5 f1.8

If you would have seen the above image without any exif data, could you really tell from which camera it came from? I have to admit I couldn't. Everything surrounding the cameras used today seem to have been optimized for extremely good images. Even with these smaller sensors (in this case the CX format 1" sensor) here from the 1 Nikon V1 you are hard pressed to distinguish it from other larger formats.

Maybe when printed you caould tell the difference but the print would have to be large. The lenses have also improved enormously, aided by computer design and advances in glass manufacturing. I used the 1 Nikkor 18.5 f1.8 prime lens on the V1 and image quality is very good indeed. The next few posts I will show the image quality you can expect from this lens. Maybe the images aren't masterpieces but that's because I'm not a master photographer and has nothing to do with the equipment used.

Couple this lens with the 10 f2.8 and the 32 f1.2, you have some very good prime lenses ranging from 27mm to 85mm. A very nice spread. I will be travelling to Spain in the a couple of weeks and I will only be taking the Nikon 1 system with me and the three primes mentioned above. I will also be taking the 6.7-13 f3.5-5.6 zoom because I require something a little wider than 10mm. The 6.7-13 is very sharp at all focal lengths and and apertures. if you haven't purchased a wide angled lens for the Nikon 1 system then I can recommend this lens to all.
