I still really like the 1 system, they just make lovely pictures (just don't look 100% at high ISO). I keep pondering getting some Fuji for my smaller cameras but then I look at the shots from the 1 and change my mind - especially as it uses the same battery as the D610.

 

[chuckles]

Amazing shots....

Love the isolation Steven.

Strong colours but not over saturated. Ned.

I took the D800 to Hunstanton for an airing today, met a Frenchman with J3 sporting the new large zoom.... Amazing bit of kit (but I couldn't give up the viewfinder though). Still in love with 1 System.

A few from Vietnam earlier this year, V1 and various lenses, used it almost exclusively on that trip rather than the bigger gear, wonderful little camera and its off on its travels again soon!

 

[BillN_33]

All good Mark …. as is B & W treatment

Tranquil is very atmospheric

well done

Thanks Bill, some great images on the thread

Good stuff... love the fishes in the pan!

 

[Nawty]

@005269 Mark, can I ask you used the the B&W conversion?

 

[005269]

I used silver efex pro, light room 5 plug in. Its one of the preset filters, I'm not sure which, will check when I'm home from work later

Had to work away last week - Iceland and Finland. Precious few hours of daylight (and I was working), so nighttime was the order of the day! All hand-held

Very good Mike, I love this time of year..... Have you tried it at night? (I'll get me coat)

You think the flash would cover that then

 

[sk66]

I don't use the V2 that often for wildlife, but it can do a nice job.

Just bought a flash for my V1. Hoping that'll inject new life into it.

Couple of pictures from Plymouth Bike Night, V1 an excellent camera to carry on a bike.

Please dont judge these they where taken to find out if the V2 would work with the Sigma 50-500,as you can see it does.

At 500mm think i needed a tripod.

 

[chuckles]

Clearly does... unlike the Tamron 150 -600 (I tried the other day)

 

[Dave Semmens]

Got a V2 a few weeks ago as a small backup camera that will fit in my bag without taking too much room up. It will also come in handy as a holiday snaps camera when I buy a lens - only got the FT1 adaptor at the moment.

Was out with the D810 and 500mm +1.4 TC yesterday and came across a Little Owl that was around 60+ yards away. Decided to give the V2 a try.

No camera will capture minute detail at these distances but it did a good job and I liked the image.

was the sigma the os version? or do they only work on the v2 onwards?.. mine doesn't work on the v1 which is a big shame..

Yes its the OS version,cant help with what it will work with but my firmware versions are

A 1
B 1
L 1
S --

 

[mark richards]

thanks..but probable won't work on v1, unless there a firmware fix on camera or lens?

Seriously impressed with the images on here, the 1 series seems too good to be true at the price they sell for used, def going to be my holiday camera, and will leave the D700 and 85mm 1.4 at home. May take the 35mm 1.8 fx with me if I can source the adapter at a good price.

Make sure you get the Nikon FT-1 adapter as others lose too much communication between lens and camera.

Used prices make them an absolute steal, you really can't beat them for image quality at that price. The 18.5mm is nice too, allows you to get some subject separation.

I just sold a J1, 10-30mm and 18.5mm to a mate for £160 (mate's rates) which from a photographic point of view is bargaintastic.

Coming from a slow to focus bridge camera which was failing to get shots of their kid they are delighted.

If, God forbid, I was removed of all my camera kit and only had small amounts of money to get back into it, used Nikon 1 kit would be the way I'd go as it is just sooooo cheap.

 

[addicknchips]

Guys..some incredible shots here. Keep them coming.
Anyone used a Nikon 1 with a 50mm or 35mm (DX) on it via the adaptor?

 

[mikew]

Just got the 30-110 should have waited for better light but you dont do you.

Yep, works nicely - a TOUCH soft wide open but becomes critically sharp when stopped down a touch.

Here's a set from f/1.8, 2.8, 5.0

Been away in Norfolk for a week and tried the V2 on the 500mm with 1.4 TC again (equivalent to 1890mm allowing for the crop)

Had it setup when this little chap arrived

Thanks. Now I am tempted.

 

[Cyclops]

Some very nice shots on this thread.


Popped over to Bempton last week and took the V1 and 30-110mm lens with me. It was so light and easy to carry compared to my normal set up.

I am seriously considering the Nikon 1 70-300VR
