Nikon 1 NIKKOR 18.5mm f/1.8 Lens - Black

Product Information

The level of lateral CAs (color shadows at harsh contrast transitions) is in the range of around 1 up to just above 1. The fact that many of my images taken with the V1 are rather popular (500 views on average) reassures me that I’m not a deluded fanboy praising the camera to the skies. The speed of a lens describes its maximum aperture—the larger the aperture, the more light it lets in and, therefore, the faster the lens.

If I’m shooting for extreme shallow depths of field or wide angles, the Nikon 1 isn’t going to be my first choice. Secondly, the images in this lens review are not a portfolio, but they are meant to show a variety of situations, angles, f-stops, etc. The apsc sensors have much more smoother, cleaner and less coarse look about that at base iso’s and higher. The HN-N104 lens hood is a small, round hood that screws onto the front of the lens to provide some additional resistance to flare.

Although my only real complaint, having the image come up each and every time in the viewfinder, is an easy fix that Nikon doesn’t recognize as a problem. Stopping it down to about f/4 helps but you’ll lose a lot of blurriness as a trade-off for cleaner-looking blurs. Reproduction in whole or part in any form or medium without specific written permission is prohibited. A cynical enthusiast likely wondered if the 1 system wasn’t hobbled by design to protect Nikon’s DSLR sales. I will go into more detail on that later, the point that I’m trying to make is that people who compare the 18.

The small size of the lens balances perfectly with small Nikon 1 camera bodies, offering exceptional image quality without sacrificing portability. Notice the “Bridge Tender Inn” sign at the top and the “fresh fish” sign at the bottom, both have a slight curvature. The flavor of flame-grilled beef patty is hard to beat and the extra onions that I requested certainly did the job. We've been using a full production version of this 120 fps sports camera, to see what you gain (and, perhaps, lose).

provide in terms of low light performance and DOF control, almost equally I hate the color rendition, seemingly random auto white balance and “dark” metering of the E-M10. Immediately after taking the lens out of the box and handling it, I noticed how light it is, it’s a featherweight.Again, it’s small and super light, so you hardly notice it, which is one of the pluses of the Nikon 1 system. The Panny has all of the bells and whistles with similar performance as the V1; that is until I saw how much they wanted for their Prime lens (and their Prime lens is several generations old so af is a bit slow and noisey) . Hi, if Steve or someone else can help me I would be much greatful (sorry for my English in advance). Like the Whopper, many people love this lens and it will stay as one of Nikon’s best for the system that it was made for.
