Then, FYI, I found this, although it would not be something you are looking for...

that is very 面倒くさい. are there any machine shops here in Tokyo that accepts this kind of work? It is easy to find elsewhere. if not I will have to do it with a dremel. :o :o :o

how about focus magnification? i have read that the J3 will allow that without using the russian chip. ::)
if i cannot do that then it is a bit pointless

I used J1 with Nikkor Ai 300/4.5 and TC-14B via FT-1 adapter.  It only allowed manual mode (no automatic exposure modes or even the manual metering was possible), but I could magnify the image to focus...IIRC.   ::)

Sorry I haven't used any third party dumb adapters with J1 or V1 that I had, but because of the reason mentioned above, I didn't bother to try to use any c-mount lenses.  I did buy a FOTODIOX c to m4/3 adapter whose c-mount part is recessed and accepts a lens up to about 32mm in diameter.

Well I use the Cine Nikkors with excellent results on my mirrorless camera, as they need a camera
with a short register length. Worked well from 25mm focal lengths onwards. Sold my set later as
I got a darn good offer from an Indy film maker for my set... ;-)

There are also TV-Nikkors and broadcast Nikkors in the B4 mount. That's not what you had in mind, Rick?

Nikon Z mount has the shortest flange back among the current major mirrorless mounts which is 16mm.  The flange back of c mount is 17.526mm and that of D mount, 12.29mm. Chances may be that a c to Z mount adapter doesn't need to have the c mount to be recessed.

So,you may want to wait for someone to make a c to Z mount adapter and get a Z50.

I’m not sure.  The actual diameter of the recessed part differs from adapter to adapter.  The diameter of Nikon 1 mount seems to be a bit larger than that of m4/3, though.

Also watch the negative feedback for this ebay seller. The first two I viewed was about the C-mount to Nikon1 adapter that chip was not working.

The 'gofoto' chip is very flimsy, difficult to seat properly, and ever so often fail over time. I had a few of these in the early stages of development and gave rather acerbic feedback to the company.
