I've been posting a bunch of images I made recently in New York City. They're located on the "Critique/Salon" forum under my thread "My Photo Diary". Here are a few of them:
The V3 is such a versatile and capable little camera. GREAT travel camera with the grip, EVF, and a couple of the zooms. Tiny package that's customizable for any purpose. Love it.
These were all shot in movie mode, and then processed in pixlr.com/o-matic. I prefer to use movie mode when shooting with a manual lens for 2 reasons:
1) The jpegs somehow acquire richer colours and deeper contrast even when you use the same setting from the photo mode.
2) More importantly, you can see results of changes made to aperture or shutter speed in real-time in the EVF -- if you used photo mode the EVF won't reflect changes made.
These two are jpegs straight out of the camera, to show the depth of field you could get out of a 25mm 1.4 CCTV / C-mount lens. Had to shoot these at f2.8 because wide open gave me flare and washed out the frame.
Tested the V1 with 50mm 1.4 Super Takumar today. I love the skin tones and the auto white balance is better than my Olympus OMD EM5, which has erratic auto WB.
50mm 1.4 Super Takumar on Nikon V1.
It translates into a 135mm with f4 equivalent depth of field. People who say you can't get shallow DOF out of the Nikon 1 series either (a) don't own the camera or (b) are using the wrong lens. Both of these weren't even f1.4 -- I had to stop down to f2.8 because wide open at f1.4 the lens flared a fair bit.
