Nikon V1 with Nikon 1 11-27.5mm lens (this lens has an issue: when zoomed full the shutter closes so you can’t take a picture) and Nikon 1 30-110mm lens. Also has Opteka 2.0 50mm prime lens (135mm with crop factor -pretty sharp when focused correctly; focus ring is a little bit sticky at a certain point, but still useable), Opteka 12mm prime lens (32mm with crop factor - decent sharpness), Meike 1.8 25mm prime lens (67.5 with crop factor - not the sharpest lens, but almost film-like quality to it), and Meike 1.4 35mm prime lens (94.5 with crop factor - very sharp when focused right) and Opteka 6.3 200mm dual mirror lens (not a very sharp lens at all, but you can take somewhat blurry to very blurry pictures from far away…*shrug*). You’ll have to use manual mode any time you’re using one of the non-Nikon lenses, which is almost always for me. I don’t really like the Nikon lenses. They aren’t very sharp and indoors they use a high ISO setting which introduces too much noise. The prime lenses don’t auto-focus, but I like the pictures they take much better. Also have a set of half-colored lens filters included. Battery and battery charger included. Also includes the Nikon SB-NS Flash. However, if you’re using a prime lens remember, the lens won’t send info to the camera, so the flash won’t adjust like it would with a Nikon 1 lens attached. It still works. You just have to adjust the settings manually. This camera takes pretty good pictures. I’ve enjoyed it and I’m not particularly excited to sell it. I’m just interested in paring stuff down to one camera and I think I want a Fujifilm X100 or X Half so I’m selling stuff to try to get one of those. A solid carry around Fuji point and shoot, basically. Memory card not included. So, it’s $350 for this stuff and if I don’t get that, I’ll just keep the Nikon and keep shooting with it.
