managed to find a willing model today in the shape of a buzzard ,all photos taken from my car window parked in a lay-by .it really shows the potential of this set up first shot taken with the d300s with a 300mm lens distance to subject 30metres or 98 feet .please also note the shutter of the V1 is totally silent so does not spook birds like some dslr's do .first three shots are full frame images ,the last two cropped .my personal choice is with the cropped image taken at 810mm with the bare 300-f4  buteo 1 300mm by black fox wildlife photography, on Flickr buteo 2 @ 810mm by black fox wildlife photography, on Flickrnikon v1 +300mm f4 =810mm focal length buteo 3 @ 1134mm by black fox wildlife photography, on Flickr crop of 1134mm image by black fox wildlife photography, on Flickr crop of 810mm image by black fox wildlife photography, on Flickrmy personal favourite taken from the 810mm image although a slightly larger crop it does show how a t.c degrades the image .but considering the available light at the moment the potential for this rig is enormous IMHOthe black fox Posts: 630Joined: Sun Oct 30, 2011 6:34 pmTopRe: nikon V1 + FT1just for a bit of extra info this buzzard is actually sat behind the bushes on the fence,the light (diffused sunlight ) is in actual fact coming from the right of the picture putting the bird in the shade in real terms

Not just the quality of the V1 combo but the technique to capture a perching buzzard without spooking it.  Seriously wondering if the Nikon is a better option than the Fuji I was considering!

Jeff Do you know if the FTL adapter works with Sigma lenses? Specifically the 500mm prime? EditOk I've just read someone on DPReview has tested the Sigma 500 and it works.

Eric, in the US, they are almost giving the V1 away. Somewhere in the price range of $349 with lens.

Eric It does not work with either my sigma 150 or 180. I have seen no report that it works with any sigma lense. It is not just no AF, but rather a complete non-recognised lense lock-down. Ed

don't jump to quick eric ,at this moment in time i,m enthused by it ,but it does have limitations .your restricted to single point focus (centre) the a/f is slower than a dslr with normal lenses ..ultra fast with its native ones though .i have yet to master the menu /settings to get the best from it .it may well be the lack of light thats the problem .due to these type of focus limitations its virtually no good for b.i.f although i have seen some so perhaps its practise /skill on the plus side it takes most nikon a/f lenses although i think they mean afs .its extremely cheap i got mine in john lewis for £279.00 and the adaptor from amazon for 179 .the deals on e/bay etc are even cheaper . the build quality is superb its a titanium shell and surprisingly heavy when you pick it up .if your anywhere near this area at all your welcome to try before you buy

Wonder if there is a Sigma firmware update? -- Burt http://www.pbase/burtmann/ My 150-500 isn't recognised either, but the following Sigma EX lenses all work fine. 150mm f2.8 macro, 180mm f3.5 macro 70-200mm f2.8 EX DG 500mm f4.5 EX DG 800mm f5.6 EX DG Since the 150-500 is the newest of my sigma lenses and the only one with OS I wonder if this is the issue Dave
