Once you shoot with one you will see I speak the truth. So for $889, a superfast prime for Nikon 1 shooters is really not a bad deal at all.
#The system lens manual#
The manual focus action is smooth as silk. It even has a manual focus ring that when turned, automatically brings up magnification in the viewfinder or on the LCD. It is basically an ultra fast 35mm lens but seeing that it is mounted on the 2.7 crop Nikon 1 body, it gives us an 86mm equivalent, so it acts as a super high quality portrait prime, the best lens yet for the Nikon 1. So when you look at it in this light, $889 for a 32 1.2 lens sounds about right when you compare it to other lenses in this category, especially since there are no other lenses for the 1 system like this, at all. It is also a f/1.8 aperture lens and not an f/1.2 aperture lens. While the Olympus 45 1.8 is $399, less than half the cost of the Nikon, you can not use it on a Nikon 1, the build is not the same as the Nikon, it is not a 32/35mm, it is a 45mm.

We may not get the same DOF as we would on a full frame camera but it will be about the same as the Olympus 45 1.8 on a micro 4/3 camera. For Nikon 1 users this is a huge bonus as we want a lens that will give us low light ability and some shallow DOF as well. You will indeed get the light gathering of a 1.2 aperture lens, and speed costs money in the camera lens world. I have not even mentioned that yes, this is indeed a 1.2 aperture lens any ay you look at it.
#The system lens pro#
Being a 35mm lens with premium build, nano coating, silent wave motor and a manual focus ring means that it will of course be more expensive than the other Nikon 1 lens offerings, not just because of these pro features but because those other lenses are not in the same league where build, feel, and even IQ are concerned. Especially when premium glass is used with Nano coatings. A 35mm lens is more expensive to make than an 85mm lens or a 45mm lens. This is a 32mm lens, but let us just say it is 35mm for the sake of discussion. This was snapped out of my windshield as I was driving into Sedona, AZ with the Nikon V1 and 32 1.2 lens. Why is this one so expensive while the others are on the lower end of the price scale? So seeing a lens for this system come in at $896 is sort of nuts when you look at it in this light. The 10mm 2.8 can be had for $200 and the 30-110 zoom is $250 or so. The highly regarded 18.5 1.8 is less than $200 but weighs as much as a feather (not really, but it is LIGHT). Most other Nikon 1 lenses are on the lower end of the cost scale coming in between $190 to $500. Whether you’re shooting portraits, travel, landscapes or HD videos, the 1 NIKKOR 32mm f/1.2 brings exciting new capabilities to your Nikon 1 system.”Ĭoming in at $896 for a 1 system 32 1.2 CX lens sounds expensive on one end of the spectrum because many will be mounting this lens to a Nikon V1 that they paid $300 for or a V2 that they paid $700 for. The 1 NIKKOR 32mm f/1.2 even includes a manual focus ring-another first for a 1 NIKKOR lens. The 1 NIKKOR 32mm f/1.2 (86mm equivalent on Nikon 1’s CX format) combines exceptional optics with lens technologies usually reserved for D-SLR lenses, like Nano Crystal Coat for preventing lens flare (even in direct light) and the innovative Silent Wave Motor (SWM) for ultra-fast, ultra-quiet autofocusing.
Now that same medium telephoto angle of view and outstanding performance is available for your Nikon 1 system-with an even faster f/1.2 maximum aperture. One of the most celebrated lenses in NIKKOR’s 80-year heritage is the 85mm f/1.4, often praised as the ultimate portrait lens. After taking a few snaps, it is obvious that this lens is serious about optical performance as well. The Nikon 32 1.2 lens for the Nikon 1 System is here and when taking it out to mount it to my V1, it appears to be a masterpiece of design and build quality. One of my favorite cameras now has the capability to mount a superfast 85mm equivalent lens that has been much needed since the launch of the camera system.
