Must have lens with Nikkor 1. I like this lens because it gives the reach you need! And the price is awesome too. I just love it

This is an excellent lens and does an excellent job in the parameters that it was designed for. Crystal clear and excellent zoom magnification without distortion. Light weight and compact. Fast shooting with the new J 4. I have waited for several years for the J4 camera and the matching lens. I miss the 35MM film SLR cameras and lens systems. Nikon has hit the bulls eye with this camera and lens system. I have 4 Digital cameras. As A semi pro, I The J4 is more tnen capable of professional work. I am smiling again, I have true creativity, once again... THANKS NIKON'....

Qualité optique exceptionnelle qui surpasse une focale équivalente des objectifs pour gros réflex avec adaptateur.

I think this is a very good match the astonishing and amazing Nikon 1 V2 camera. There is just enough zoom to reach out for most everyday pics. I wish it was a little bit faster at max zoom of action shots, but I can live with this now that I am aware of the limitation. It is a good companion for my 10-30mm and 18.5mm f/1.8 lenses. The combination of these three will cover most of my immediate needs for portraits, nature, grandchildren in action and urban scenes. Surprisingly, low light shots are quite impressive when the camera is stable. I can already see that only one or two additional lenses will round out my camera bag. This is going to be a good year of photography!

This seems to be the comparable "telephoto" lens to the nikon 55-200mm lens for the entry level dslr cameras. the 30-110mm lens is about the same comparable zoom that you would get out of a point and shoot digital zoom camera but this is all optical which is much clearer. for the price, it is not a bad lens and definitely a must have for the nikon 1 series cameras. I would recommend this lens for closer zoom situations but it is certainly not great for taking a picture of a bird at the top of a tree. overall, a great lens for the price (around 160.00 on ebay) but a bit disappointing in the zoom aspect.

Fantastic lens at a fantastic price! My husband is my 'researcher' and found Adorama to have the best price on the internet or stores for this lens. It is easy to attach to the camera body, easy to operate and I get wonderful pictures 'up close'. It will be a blessing at my daughter's graduation in May. The only drawback is that I have a beige camera and the lens didn't come in beige but the white isn't a problem, you barely notice the body and lens aren't the same color.

gets me great close-up portraits-like the added range of shots this lens allows.

I bought this lens primarily to shoot birds in flight since my Nikon 1 V2 doesn't do a good job in that regard with the FT-1 adapter. It is simply outstanding for this purpose. I have been using the electronic shutter at 15, 30 and 60 frames per second and have gotten wonderful results capturing birds in flight. This lens focuses lightning fast and with the high frame rate of the V2 it is possible to capture 'the right moment' as a bird is flying past or landing. I really love the small size of this lens when coupled with the V2...the viewfinder on the V2 is worth the extra money....especially if you are used to shooting with a DSLR. My other two cameras are a D800 and a D7000. Highly recommend this lens for birding and nature. If Nikon ever made a 100-300mm zoom for the Nikon 1 system I would buy it in a heartbeat.

I like the look of the red lens on the black J1 body. I have used it at a gymnastics practice and was pleased with the shapness. The 300 mm lens equivalent in a small light weight package is impressive.

I had bought this lens to supplement the wide-angle zoom that came with the V1; it is a perfect complement to the supplied lens. It appeared to be brand-new; no one would have suspected it was refurbished. Perfect!

I just got this lens as a gift after getting a red J1 refurbished. Seems like there is controversy over the 1 system - here's my take... Take the time to learn how to use the camera! Seems common sense I know, but understanding how to get to the right settings quickly could change ones perception of a product. I've used this lens for both static landscapes and moving objects (kids). I've been very pleased with the results. Focus is fast and quiet- and the lens is compact but feels well constructed. That being said my point of comparison is a Nikon D600 with a Nikon 70-300 VR. Better setup? Perhaps - but much heavier and bulky when out and about wrangling kids. If you don't get tied down in comparisons I believe you will find this lens to be a worthy addition to your camera bag.

This was just what I was looking for. I purchased a used Nikon 1 body and wanted a lens to go with it till the FT-1 lens adapter came in. It was inexpensive and checked out by Nikon. I've purchase Nikon refurbished equipment before and am very pleased w/ them.

I hardly ever write a review but I found this site after searching for this lens in red & could not find it through any regular camera dealers or on Nikon. Came packaged great, no problems at all and saved a few hundred dollars! I will come to this site again for future purchases.

So far so good. Still playing around with it in combination of NB-5 Speed light/flash.

Referbished lenses, in my opinion, are often better working, better aligned and tested, then a new out-of-the box assembly line lens. This white one works fine on my black camers and looks good at the same time. The focus' fast, on the nose, and it is just a workhorse zoon.

My husband gave me the Nikon J1 camera for Christmas last year, and I love it! Our children are very involved in sports and school activities, and I need a low-light camera with a great lens for "far away" shots. This lens is great! I highly recommend it. My husband was worried about purchasing a refurbished lens, but it looked and operated like new!

This lens is a nice basic telephoto lens it has room for improvement. It does not have an easy way to switch to manual focus, there's no switch on the lens, you have to go into the camera's menu system to go to manual focus. The same holds true for toggling image stabilization, aka Vibration Reduction. Another nice thing would if the lens cap included a built in retaining strap so you don't loose it.

Still getting the hang of the Nikon 1 lenses; you can read in the printed documentation that the camera has a "2.7 crop factor" so in theory this 30-110 lens should shoot like a big, heavy 90-300 lens for a 35mm film camera; but it sure doesn't look like a traditional 300mm lens. Ultimately, it sort of actually does work like a 90-300; but I'm not a serious pro; 99% of my shots are ad hoc, I don't walk around with a tape measure and a light meter setting up shots, everything is by feel, and the Nikon 1 and this lens "feel" very different. Better, nicer, amazing, terrific; but the feel is definitely different, especially with the longer lenses. I still find myself mis-planning; when I think the 30-110 will be fine for a shot or series of shots because it's just such a small, light lens; but then later I need to pop a smaller lens back on, or I may need to take a number of paces backwards to frame the shot I saw in mind. A little weird, not the lens's fault... it's only taking pictures where I point it. This should not stop you from buying this lens; if you can afford it, do. Technically, for real world use, the lens is essentially flawless and amazing. If you're just shooting pictures, you probably would need to be going out of your way to find the slightest imperfection with this lens mounted on the 10 mega pixel Nikon 1.

When I first saw the Nikon 1 I was impressed. So, I bought one - in red. I couldn't swing the payments for the entire package, but thought I'd purchase the body and a general purpose lense first, then buy the zoom (30-110mm) later. Now when I am ready to buy, I am told that only the white or black lenses are available for purchase and the other color choices are only available when you buy the kit. Tell me, what is wrong with that picture??? I don't want to stick a black or white zoom lense on a red camera body, but if I want to take pictures as the marketing info promotes, I have only two choices - and neither of the choices are ones I would pick. What was Nikon thinking? Apparently, the marketing department got ahead of the production department or they simply were not communicating. And, that makes the customer with a very undesirable decision: either forget about getting those long shots or pay the $250 to get some remarkable pictures using mix and match product colors.

Quick, easy and compact ... grab and use in an instant! With the existing application (Nikon J1), one can see the picture framed on the display of the camera, and have a fair idea of the outcome.
