Lens Adapters for Nikon 1 J2?
I recently got a nikon 1 j2 and my mum gave me some lenses from her nikon, the lenses are really old and I was wandering whether there was some kind of adapter I could put on the camera and then attach the lens to.
Some additional information about the lenses:
One of them is called the "Zoom-Nikkor 35~80mm f/4~f/5.6D" (I think that's what it says on the box)
another is called "NIkkor 35mm 1:28 575243" ( that's what it says on the actual lens)
the last one is called "Nikkor 135mm 1:28 940758" (again that's what was on the lens)
Yes, there's a lens adapter for Nikon 1 cameras. Pick from these.
I'd probably get the one from B&H Photo. Call them. They are very helpful.
There's an adapter, but you will probably find these oldies a struggle to use. The film cameras of yore had helpful split image and microprism optical assist devices on the focusing screen to aid manual focus. Manual focus on digital cameras is possible, but accuracy viewed at full resolution is often disappointing.
There's such an adapter, although the Nikon brand adapter costs as much as the camera… http://www.phonearena.com/phones/Samsung-Galaxy-S-II_id5106
There are Chinese clones of the adapter for much less, but still in the $75 range.
Hi
Yes there's a Nikon Adapter so that you can use a camera with the Nikon 1 series mount with lens made for the venerable F-Mount, google "FT-1", see here http://www.wexphotographic.com/buy-nikon-ft1-mount-adapter/p1527519
Its expensive as hell but useful if you go from a Mirrorless camera like the Nikon 1 J2 to a DX or Full frame DSLR Nikon Camera you won't need to buy lens.
Point to note those lens all appear to be AI lenses so won't auto focus with your camera, only AF-S and AF will, that said they ain't bad lenses, in fact the 35mm is pretty good.
Lastly if you do decide to get a FT1 adapter you must calculate the fact the the sensor is much smaller, these lens were made for 35mm film or Nikon's FX sensor size, the Nikon 1 sensor is a CX sensor which is about x2.7 smaller.
Therefore
35mm x 2.7 = 94.5mm
135mm x 2.7 = 364.5mm
35mm to 80mm x 2.7 = 94.5mm to 216mm
Essentially all the lenses your mother gave you will act like long range tele lens, crazy zoom!
Heres some links to two of the lens being reviewed:
