FT-1 Lens adapter test on Nikon V1 with NIKKOR AF-s 50mm f/1.8G

I'm currently testing the Nikon FT-1 Adapter on my NikonV1, and while I'm not ready to publish a review just yet... I thought considering the dearth of decent "test footage" from the FT-1 here on youtube I found (or maybe more to the point, didn't find) when I went looking for some myself recently, I thought it might be handy to some people to upload a short montage of my Day 1 testing with the lens adapter and a Nikkor AF-S NIKKOR 50mm f/1.8G lens I had supplied with the review unit while I await some more Glass to test with it, from Sigma.

FYI, the slow-motion stuff was done by running the V1 in 60P mode and conforming that 60fps footage back down to 25fps - this is sometimes known as "overcranking"... it's a nifty trick, and one of the best reasons to have a camera that does 60p ;)

You can find some stills from the shoot here; https://plus.google.com/photos/113803788626868279965/albums/5704763441171803201

Hey Blunty, where was the place at 2:44? Thanks

@JackyJCMo Sydney CBD.

I have a collection of Nikon lenses that include some nice non cpu primes that I use on my D7000. I assume that the adapter will accommodate all of my lenses.

[Blunty3000]

@ritterdude As would I.

Your shootings are always so professional and great!

Hey Blunty, does autofocus work with the FT1 adapter? Additionally, can the video do continuous autofocus with it? Thanks and more power sir!

[MuchKnowledge]

video quality is flipping amazing. how did you get the slowmo shots? does it shoot at high fps or did you use software?

[ReflexEight]

The video is like DSLR worthy. Very impressed.
