Dear Cgeoff,

As a Nikon DSLR user, it is a god news.

Referring to Nikon web:

The FT1 mount adapter allows NIKKOR F mount lenses to be used with Nikon 1 cameras equipped with a Nikon 1 mount. The angle of view of an F mount lens mounted on the FT1 is equivalent to that of a 35mm format lens with a focal length about 2.7 x longer.

For example:

70 - 300mm lens will extend to 189 - 810mm without any influence on the aperture.

Sure the zoom range is good for photo taking for the birds.

For more detail, please visit Nikon web site.

Thank you !

Here is the link to to my photo test with my Nikon V1 + FT1 lens adaptor + 500/4 at Mai Po 24th Dec 2011.

The focusing speed is better than my expectation but far behind my D3S.

3rd test of Nikon 1 V1 + FT1 lens adaptor + 1.4x + 500/4 = 1890mm
Photos looks softer and focus are slower if used 1.4 converter but it is acceptable.
All photos took at Mai PO 7th Jan 2012
The most interesting is a very very big nest that I hadn't saw before.
Wishes any C Hing can teach me.
Thanks !
Happy New Year.
