What Nikon 1 Lens Would You Like Next?

I love the 40mm micro lens on the FT1 but a dedicated macro in the 35mm to 40mm size would be brilliant!

30-150mm F2.8 or longer
 
I'd like a real pancake lens, 13mm CX f/2.0.

I'd also like a pro quality zoom (something like 9-26mm CX f/2.8-4 VR).

Finally, I'd like a wide-angle prime, 5.5mm CX f/2.8 or ~4mm CX f/4 fisheye.
 
So interesting how people are listing lenses that would retail at $999+ yet the same people cried and wailed when the 32mm 1.2 came out at $900 saying it cost too much!!
Folks, make up your minds about the 1 system. You want good lenses? Get ready to pay for them. I have the 6.7-13mm wide zoom and love it. I have the 32mm 1.2 and love it.
Because a 35mm f1.8 for $200 would have been a better fit for the system.

The 6.7-13mm is nice but slow and expensive.

With a $900 lens budget I'd rather get a Sigma 18-35mm f1.8 ($800). If a CX version existed it would be a no brainer.

I'd pay $900 for a 30-110 f2.8. Or 17-55 f2.8.

I use my 17-70mm f2.8-4 on my V2 almost all the time so a fast zoom is much higher on my priority list than primes.

The 18.5 fits nicely imo.

It's a high quality lens with VR from Nikon, what'd you expect?

Well....... you can always use the FT1, but of cause it's big and ....... it's big!

I think the N1 could be a potential pro sports camera. Some thing like a 75 mm f2.0 or a 100 f2.0 and a 150 f2.8. For macro a 35 mm with manual focus over ride ring focus. Aubrey even a 19 mm f1.0 super fast prime
 
Maybe a 50 mm f2.8 VR and a 7 mm f3.5 and perhaps a 35 mm f1.8 VR. A nice fast zoom would be nice but not budget I guess.
 
9-150/4-6.3 VR small and lightweight (10cm collapsed, 200g)

4.5-9/4 VR

18.5/1.8 pancake

4.5/2 fisheye pancake

And, please, all of them not only black - in silver too
 
if Panasonic can produce a Leica 15mm / 1.7 (30mm eq) and sell it for $600, I don't see why Nikon can not create a 10mm / 1.8 with a price around $400-500 and an 8.5mm / 2.0 for around the same price range. .. just my opinion.
I made a 8/2.0 by adding a Panasonic 0.79X wide adapter to my 10/2.8, works like a charm!

That's very interesting. So how do attach them together? Do you use a step up ring?
