So easy to remove the three screws and take a knife to the rear of the mount

the C-mount lenses arrived
the cheap chinese adapter were milled in such a way that the lens is facing the wrong way when screwed-in the top-facing part is underneath
one lens focuses to infinity while the other one won't

the D-mount lens is pointless for use with the Nikon 1.

from the cine-nikkor 25mm f/1.8

really anooying to use without any focus aid. i can live with exposing manually but its hard without any focus aids since the LCD doesnt have enough resolution

the cine-nikkor 10mm f/1.8 is a swell lens but 4 out of the 6 blades were broken...i dont want to fabricate blades anymore, its too tedious. does anybody here know who fabricates iris blades? I doubt it will be cost effective, maybe i should just do it when i have the time.

Did you receive the Gfoto chip?

 I see they also have a "Nikon F lenses to Nikon 1 adapter with AF/EXP chip". Does anyone have experience with that?

no news yet, its been a week now

bad service in my opinion

[Gerhard2006]

i think it's made of plastic, after hitting the mount with a screwdriver it made a dull sound

however, aluminum also creates a similar sound

I definitely agree it’s plastic, one of the clause on being at Mount broke off and I epoxied it back together again. Surprisingly has worked flawlessly ever cents but it is definitely plastic.

an update on my experience with the Russian chip seller Gfoto...
it took around 10 days for them to give me a tracking number after i paid

Then it will go by train and then by ship to Japan? :-)
I have an item on the way from Russia and it has landed in my country after about 4 weeks.
Then it has to pass customs and then the final delivery. So patience is needed.....but it it is a nice item.....I hope....

it better be worth it or i will leave a nasty feedback and review!
