Looks like they're patiently waiting for the end, Sanford. I almost expect to see a mushroom cloud in the distance.

Can't resist a repost given Georg's excellent capture.

<p>BTW, what's a 180mm on a Nikon V1, about a 500mm equiv? </p>

<p>Edwin, thanks! I see "springy feelings" rule the ponds all over the world right now ;-)<br>

Sanford, yes, it's close to 500mm (have to buy an AF-S 500/4 to compare ;-). The neat V1 works not too bad with longer lenses, but optical flaws like longitudinal CA's are elevated by the high pixel-density. Focusing is tricky too with manual lenses.<br>

But I really have to reverse my thoughts about the Nikon 1 system. At first I thought it's just another gadget for coffeehouse-bloggers, barely adequate to snap some pics of the latte macciato standing next to an iPad. Sorry, Nikon, I really like the V1 now, it has some serious flaws, but it makes a nice companion for easy-going photo-trips.</p>

<p>Here's another picture taken with the manual 180/2.8 ED<br>
