This is a razor sharp lens for a brilliant camera system. I hope Nikon continues to make quality prime lenses like this for the Nikon 1 system. I have the 10-30 and 30-100 kit zooms, but since I put this lens on the camera it has not come off. Contrasty with no hint of chromatic aberration. I believe that Nikon is probably doing some in-camera custom correction; otherwise this level of performance would only be attainable with a lens 20x the cost. Yes, it's really that good. Bokeh is very nice. I just got done reviewing today's pictures on a 30" computer monitor and am completely blown away. Other than depth-of-field changes, the aperture makes no difference in image quality. I see no vignetting, aberrations or distortions wide open. The 2.8 is one to two stops faster than the kit zooms. The small size allows true pocket ability that the kit zooms j-u-s-t are a bit big to allow. Get yourself a V1 and this lens. It's all you need.

I am a student photog, I use all Nikon gear incl. my F6, D700 and 11 + Nikkor lenses from my 14mm wide to my 70-200 zoom telephoto etc. I needed a point and shoot type camera to pack around for shots of opportunity but didn't like the build, quality, speed or function of most out there. Then came along the V1, with a set of 4 lenses and an adapter allowing me to use all my F mount lenses (huge selling point for me), Wow, and they all work very well. As for this little Nikon 1 Nikkor 10mm f2.8, simply great, (my preferred of the 4 Nikon 1 lenses) fast, sharp as a tack, outstanding build and still fits into my pocket ready for a fast startup to capture what would have been a missed shot, what more could I ask! Good job Nikon...
