I used this adapter to connect an old manual telephoto lens to my J5. I'm very happy.
The J5 is set to "M" mode, it doesn't work any other way. Focusing is a bit difficult, but I just take multiple shots. The small sensor turns the telephoto lens into a real spy lens. Very funny.
I could imagine that the modern Nikkor lens doesn't work so well because the adapter ONLY works manually. But old manual lenses from the 80s are super cool with it. (Be careful, with large and heavy lenses, DO NOT touch and hold the J5, always hold the lens with your left hand and only release the shutter with your right hand!)
What bothered me a bit was the tiny safety screw that I had to remove before using it for the first time. I didn't have a screwdriver that small, so I had to use the tip of a pocket knife.
I'm very happy with the product quality.

Good finish and fits perfectly. The material looks good and is not heavy. I am very satisfied with the purchase.

This adapter ring perfectly fulfills its function, mounting the lenses of my SLR on a small Nikon 1 J4 compact. The ring is made of metal and seems robust. It does not have any connector and the focus will have to be done manually. Important point, the Automatic Mode will not work, you have to use the M mode. I use it with a Sigma 70-300 for photos of the moon or wildlife. No idea of "how to manage the aperture" with the lenses not being equipped with a ring dedicated to this function. Intended primarily for advanced users.

Product exactly as I expected.
All metal, perfect couplings, you can use f mount lenses on the v1, with a multiplication factor of 2.7, all the functions go into manual, but the results pay for the effort of finding the focus...

Very well made adapter. Lens sits without any play. When using full format lenses, a 50mm standard lens becomes a 125mm telephoto lens with a crop factor of 2.7!

At this price, and according to the photos, the back of the adapter (on the camera body) looked like it was made of plastic, so to be honest I was quite worried, but I only realized that after I had placed my order.
After receiving the product, I immediately attached it to my Nikon 1 J3 and tried using an old F lens that I own, and there was almost no play and it worked properly, so I'm very satisfied. I would definitely recommend this product.

The adapter works well and is well made, obviously it does not maintain the characteristics of the lens and you have to put everything in manual mode. In my case I needed to attach the camera to a microscope and with a little money I solved the problem.

It does what it promises. Of course the V1 must be used in manual, you lose the automatic functions. Suitable for those who enjoy taking photos. Not suitable for users who take photos without knowing anything about the medium.
At a price like this you can use old and new Nikon lenses... exceptional!

Exactly as expected, it was a well-built article in its simplicity and too solid, it can therefore give a feeling of heaviness with some optics (and only for this the 5th star is missing), but the duration will certainly be unlimited. Even the packaging is made with a certain care compared to other similar articles.
