Adapter to use M mount on Nikon 1

[NIKON KIU]

I hear there is going to be adapters to use M mount lenses on this camera. Third Party Manufacturer.
Same as the Micro 4/3 Cameras...

Nikon has promised the FT-1 Adapter to us Nikon nuts:

2.7X would makes nice Telephoto with a 500mm lens!

Several adapters on ebay right now. Leica M and Nikon F.... (In addition to the real Nikon FT adapter - also available now. The Nikon adapter allows AF with AF-S lenses.)

Would be nice if you discovered a few new planets with it 🙂

Isn't it true that the Nikon 1 does not shoot without a Nikon AF lens attached?

I put a 200-400 f/4 on a j1 yesterday. It was silly.

Apparently not, Kent. At least one guy on Flickr is putting up photos with adapted lenses. I know you need an AF-S lens to get autofocus with the FT-1 and it's only single point. And (AFAIK) there is no manual focus assist, yet.

The venerable Elgeet 12mm/f1.2 cine navitar delivers an interesting rendering.

Sorry for digging up this thread!

A late "Thanks", Chris, for your answer.

Now, that I have the V1, I can confirm. You cen use other lenses, as long as you use the "M-mode". I have an adapter for Leica-M lenses and C-mount lenses and they work well.
