I purchased the Nikon V1 plus three lenses (10-30mm zoom, 30-110mm zoom, and 10mm f/2.8 prime) during the summer of 2012. I got it used, and it came with the Nikon grip. I've since added the 18.5mm f/1.8 prime (seen above) and have taken over 8000 photos with this kit. I've been blogging about it as I've gone along, and here is a list of the most relevant/interesting posts.

ReplyDeleteI much appreciate you writing about the Nikon V1 and M 4/3's systems. I have some old M 4/3 cameras from both Panasonic and Olympus and the basic kit lenses and with the super deal on the V1 and 10mm, I just had to try it. I also shoot Canon DSLR's, although (surprise!) they are older models and nothing special in regards to lenses. Anyway, I will continue to search through your blog archives. Mahalo, Thomas
