Well, I did it, so hopefully no one replies saying I shouldn't now, haha

Hey, I recently decided to get a 1 v2 finally, and the one I've got is on firmware version 1.0.0. I was thinking about updating the firmware,* but after my recent adventure with tamron 150-600 on ...

Seconded, that lens is really great imho. Compact, lightweight, sharp, fast focusing, quiet, nicely stabilized, cheap. Not fast in terms of aperture, but that's really the only big downside for ...

Maybe this isn't new information! I'm not sure. We know that a lot of Nikon's heavier lenses don't work on the 1 j5 + FT1, but maybe do work on the v3 (?) probably due to Nikon not wanting people ...

Iq is pretty good, I guess? I don't really have anything good to compare it to. It's definitely got the fisheye distortion, even on the 1" sensor. Fringey on the edges sometimes. I've only used it ...

(Pardon my terrible phonepix) Pictured here on the meike 6.5mm f/2 fisheye (which was a bit trickier to add the chip to, since the legs had to be ground down a bit) It enables aperture priority ...

I imagine everyone here has seen it by now, but just in case other people are reading this, the link to the gfoto af/exp adapter chip ...

Question though... what's the advantage of doing this, rather than using the 1 nikkor 10mm f/2.8?

Hmm. I don't own that particular lens, but I never had or read the FT1 adapter manual, and have almost always mounted the adapter to the lens first and then to the body - and I haven't had any ...

It doesn't let me adjust focus with the ring when it's in autofocus mode. It's one or the other, not combined manual/auto. The ring does nothing in auto mode. In manual focus mode (set via the ...

In hindsight, I should have fixed the ISO, but I didn't think to for some reason :/

Okay, here comes some sample images. Straight out of camera, converted to jpeg in camera raw: And another set:

Wow, that's really great!

I mean, not to be too nihilist, but nothing has a future - everything will stop working or not be good enough someday. I feel like the best thing to do is just keep using things as long as you ...

I was away, I will try to do this, but it'll have to be tomorrow or this weekend, probably.

Update: I did the firmware update from version I think 1.0.4 to 1.0.5 - it didn't seem to make a huge difference, but the update software worked just fine.

Aw, thanks!

I'm honestly really curious to see if anyone actually owns that thing - it seems like such an expensive and niche product to me, and I haven't been able to find any pictures or videos of it online ...

I still haven't had much time to play with this, but here's a few more test shots from the backyard a bit ago. Straight out of camera (just converted to jpeg in camera raw). I feel like the ...

Well... It depends. Like I said, I really haven't used it very much yet (literally only inside the office I work in, this morning). AF seems okay - but only in high contrast areas (as you might ...
