The Nikon FT1 adapter permits the use of Nikon & third party F-Mount DSLR lenses on Nikon1 system CX Format cameras like the J1 & V1.... so it's kinda like your Nikon 1 camera is bisexual... if you mangle the metaphor a bit...
The Nikon 1 doesn't have a "lack of manual functions", It's got the same PASM modes you'll find on other cameras, they're just buried deeper than usual as it's designed in a more "apple" mind-set.... it tries to get out of the way and just let you shoot... yes this philosophy won't be the best for everyone, but it does work quite well. And for the record, most of these shots were either in full manual, or aperture priority. (I've a full review of the V1 if you're interested in seeing more)
@MoteruUnited And considering the creepy, and flat out sleazy comments Alamby gets, I'm glad of it. God I hope she doesn't read the comments on the DR vids. *shudder*.
@dominojordan3d It's usually called a "Hitchcock Zoom" / "Vertigo Zoom" after one of it's most famous early uses; (in Hitchcock's movie, Vertigo, duh). Or, more boringly, a "dolly zoom" (though actually this one was handheld, no dolly involved).
One of my favorite camera review videos of all.
Of course, with the latest firmware update, the FT1 will now do AF-C.
Using the FT-1 adapter with my V1 has put fun back into photography.
I used my 85mm f/1.8 recently at a baseball game. I got some incredible photos with that setup. I have even used a 70-300mm and a 80-400mm (which won't autofocus) with the V1.
While the 70-300 works well handheld with VR (if you know how to hold the camera properly), the 80-400 requires a tripod as it has no VR and just a bit too long to hand hold.
I love every time I see a video from you come up on my homepage. I know nothing of cameras or photography, but I always love looking at your amazing camera work. I love hearing your opinions too. another great video, good job on this one! Looking forward to you next video Blunty. (:
I enjoy watching your reviews even though I usually have no idea what your talking about due to not being a photographer.
hmm, I only subscribed to you for the PS vita videos, but after seeing some of your other videos such as this one I think I'll be keeping you for these reviews and other videos. you make cameras seem so much more lively than I used to think they were.
I love my FT1 but one thing bothers me is the slow shutter speed is locked. I can't enjoy long exposure photos. Sad.
@SmexyLikeSoup Couple things, boats aren't grown, they're built.... And did it not occur to you that I may've actually been talking about, y'know, THE BUILDING? -_-
Bought a FT1 and J5 on a lark in 2019. Shame about the limited focus options, but a fun little toy.
The J5+FT1 combo does make an interesting alternative to my D750 +2x Tele.
can you use old lenses from way back on manual no probs. like 70s era
I like blunty better than that asian dude in digitalrev (i'm asian too).
only thing is, blunty doesn't have an assistant named Alamby.
Watching your camera reviews, makes me wanna take up photography. Thanks again for another great video!
@EV1LDC4Teggy It's a Ford Falcon Ute, An aussie-pick-up-family-car-hybrid. GM also makes one: The Holden Maloo
Can you do a series of videos dedicated to teach those who are interested in taking up photography as a hobby but don't really have any prior knowledge about the field of photography in general?
Great review. Really nice video from those Nikon 1 cameras. Love the 'dolly zoom' at 2:35
Hi Blunty. Would you recommend to get this adapter and buy a 50 mm 1.4 or 1.8 Nikon lens for a portraits or should I just buy the nikkor 18mm 1.8 that part of the V1 line up? Would the 50mm give a nicer bokeh than the 18mm?
Wow, found the FT1 review. Nice! Gonna get me the adapter! Looking forward trying it out with my primes and macro lenses. Anxious to try the V1 during a concert with a Røde mic.
I've always found tiny cameras with huge lenses funny.
Like those three-feet guns taken out from tiny briefcases.
Nice pictures. i didn't expect that from the Nikon v1 because the lack of manual functions.
just like how a macro tube works, does this adapted alter the DoF and focal length of dx lenses? also are they (dx lenses) cropped off by the sensor anyway?
but mainly I was going to ask something I just forgot. oh, can you set exposure so it doesn't change in video? also would you recommend the J1 to save some costs, or is there something you wouldn't compromise on over the V1.
regards ~ Sam p.s. I recognized your footage, Australia ^P^
Did you "enjoy" Hobart? You picked a great place to shoot, down at the wharf... Hobart, I MISS YOU!!!!!!
Nice video blunty how much did the Nikon 1 cost
Nice Adapter. Nice way to expand without a whole new set of lenses.
Bird, Building, Bird, Building, Bird, Building, Bird, Building, Bird, Building, .. Made me Chuckle!
@Kazechirashi yes, we need an "idiots guide to photography/videography" video series!
understood less than half of what you said but still found it enjoyalbe.
P.S when is the new lego making video?
Really like the shot at 3:13
Nice one Blunty!
Have you ever thought of getting into the film industry???
hey blunty love that pulling shot at 2:35
When did you go to Hobart?
Does anyone know what kind of ford that blue car/truck was at 1:20? We don't have those here in the states. It was interesting.
wait, that's a building? i thought it was a boat...
@fulltunes Dude... I fucking KNOW. :P
@Blunty3000 Thank you for that comments.
how you made that move on 2:36 ?
with mount it has auto focus or not?
@Blunty3000 Thanks blunty, truly a treasure trove of cinematography information, always loved that kind of shot never knew what it was called. An impressive move whatever the name of it.
how much was the 12-24mm?
@KiddsockTV AND Great Review!
The title messed with my head enough for me to click the video, it wasn't till i stepped back and read the full title on the video did i realize it was actually about cameras...damnit brain!
@Blunty3000 Was just saying. At first glance, I thought it was a boat...
haha! i'm a year late to this comment but you sir just broke digitaljackass's heart. lol
Nice review, man!
THE 50MM BECOME SOMETHING LIKE 105MM O_O
This is not relevant to the video at all, but i just wanted to say that i love your videos!
I love you, Blunty.
@digitaljackass (aside for your painfully idiotic attempt at phonetic spelling)... listen slugger, I've toured the Nikon Factories in China and Japan, I've spoken with the people WHO MAKE THE SHIT, I've been to Nikon's Tokyo offices, listened to presentations from executives, designers and marketers and I've had dinner with Nikon employees on these trips... and I *ASSURE* YOU, I am pronouncing it correctly. It's you North American Noobs who're too ignorant to say it right.
@gokarter28 I agree man, I agree
As his username would imply, I think.
@waltersteenvoorden Thanks!
@Blunty3000 This right here, made me laugh... thanks xD

Heh, Hobart and Constitution dock.
