    Default Nikon 1 V1

    I receicived my Nikon FT1 adapter for my Nikon 1 V1. The weather here is not fit for man nor beast, so I put the camera on my 200-400 F/4 lens and mounted it on a tripod to try it out. Because of the weather, I shot through window glass. I have never been able to achieve very sharp images through window glass with my D3S and I didn' expect any better with the Nikon 1. With the extremely small image size I was really not at all sure what I would get. The acompanying image of a co-operative Northern Cardinal was the result, so judge for yourselves and let me know what you think? I did absolutely no PP. The effective length of the lens becomes 1080 so I really needed the tripod. Thanks ahead of time for any of your thoughts.

    I think a bit of processing would help. Seems a bit soft and too centered. Good color. Very busy setting as well , but I think you were just trying to see what your results would be with the new equipment.

    I’ve thought of doing the same Wheeler. A crop for composition and some sharpening and this photo could sing.

    Please keep trying these tests and try some without the window. I am very interested in seeing the results. This one is a little soft and I can't tell if it is the window or the camera/lens combination.

    i'll give it a try not through the window and see what happens. It was a particularly windy day so the softness my also be caused by movement as the day was quite overcast and I couldn' t use much shuttter speed as you can see
