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.

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.

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.

I just got this for an anniversary present, this is the best lens ever. What a great zoom and so clear and crisp pictures. Way worth it to get it. Simply amazing...

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.

This is a good lens with some reach. Works great for outdoor/nature photography. I have only owned it a short while, but so far the shots have come out crisp with excellent color. It is a great carry around lens.

I have owned my camera and this lens for a year. I continue to be impressed with the results. I love everything about the Nikon 1 V1.

This is a very nice Lens, but cant recommend due to very poor product support- Lens worked abut had a hairline crack when I brought it. I should have sent it back right away but did not because it worked fine. After about 6 months it started to not focus right. When I sent it in for repair they claimed impact damage (which it never had.) They then want to charge $695.00 to repair a lens that cost $249.00 brand new. John

I bought this as the telephoto for the Nikon 1 camera since I also have the standard 10 to 30mm lens. This lens is fast focusing on this camera and gives excellent pictures at the 35mm equivalent of about 80mm to nearly 300mm. It has a maximum aperture of F/3.8 and focuses down to about a meter. I only wish that the color of the lens was the same as the color of my camera body, but that color does not appear to be available as a separate lens.

Having experienced the N1 V1 with the excellent wide-angle and 10-30 zoom lenses for a couple of weeks, I decided to purchase also he 30-110 mm zoom lens. I like the 30-110 mm zoom very much, it delivers sharp results with nice colors and good contrast. Apart from this, the strongest feature of this zoom lens is its really tiny size: it is a 70-300 mm equivalent that disappears in your hand. And it weighs almost nothing. The N1 system is simply a fantastic and very capable small camera system. Highly recommended.

With a maximum aperture range of f/3.8-5.6, this CX-format compact telephoto lens captures every fine detail, making it ideal for a wide range of scenes, including sports to portraits. Compact and lightweight, the 30-110mm is equipped with Vibration Reduction (VR II) to keep moments sharp. Quality and integrity are hallmarks of the new 1 NIKKOR lens system.
Compact telephoto captures wide range of scenes
Work with superior zoom coverage and capture high caliber images that run the gamut, from sports action shot from the bleachers, to the most subtle gradations of hair blowing in the wind. Extend your reach with the 30-110mm (picture angle equivalent of an 81-297mm in 35mm format), and isolate subjects from their backgrounds with clarity. IF (Internal Focusing) maintains compactness of size even when using the zoom.
Portraits with impact
Beautiful portraits focus on the person
A perfect compliment to the 10-30mm, the 30-110mm takes portraiture a step farther. Stunning portraits with soft focus background effects are yours. Compact and easy to carry, realize the most subtle expressions and minute details. 1 NIKKOR lens precision offers superior sharpness and color correction even at the widest aperture. Because portraits are usually taken spur of the moment, there is vibration reduction (VR II) to keep images blur-free.
Focus on the action
Get in close even from afar Get up close and personal to inje ct panache to your sports photography using the 30-110mm lens. Equipped with vibration reduction (VR II), this lens separates subjects from their backgrounds making it a great choice for honing in on subjects and create photos that are visually vibrant and perfect to upload to your blog or social media sites. Even at the most extended magnification, photos are rendered crystal clear and sharp, making the 30-110mm a perfect option for fast moving subjects from afar.
Beautiful landscape images come to life
Wide depth of field surrenders dazzling views
Work with extended zoom range using the 30-110mm and produce sweeping looks that express your world. Subjects that need to be isolated from their backgrounds, such as a boat at sail, are easy with this lens. Equipped with vibration reduction (VR II) up to four stops, you'll nab every precise color detail seen with dramatic sunsets.
Vibration Reduction
This innovative VR system minimizes image blur caused by camera shake, and offers the equivalent of shooting at a shutter speed three stops (eight times) faster.** It allows handheld shooting at dusk, at night, and even in poorly lit interiors. The lens' VR system also detects automatically when the photographer pans - no special mode is required.
Extra-low Dispersion Glass
Nikon developed ED (Extra-low Dispersion) glass to enable the production of lenses that offer superior sharpness and color correction by minimizing chromatic aberration. ED glass offers all the benefits, yet none of the drawbacks of calcium fluorite-basedglass. With this innovation, Nikon developed several types of ED glass suitable for various lenses.
Nikon Super Integrated Coating
To enhance the performance of its optical lens elements, Nikon employs an exclusive multilayer lens coating that helps reduce ghost and flare to a negligible level. Nikon Super Integrated Coating achieves a number of objectives, including minimized reflection in the wider wavelength range and superior color balance and reproduction.
Internal Focusing
Imagine being able to focus a lens without it changing in size. Nikon's IF technology enables just that. All internal optical movement is limited to the interior of the nonextending lens barrel. This allows for a more compact, lightweight construction as well as a closer focusing distance.
