Nikon 1 lens test

This is my subjective evaluation of the Nikon 1 lenses.
The lenses I've tested and evaluated is
* Nikon 1 Nikkor 10mm f/2.8 (27mm eq. FOV, ø56x22mm/2.2x0.9in, 77g/2.8oz)
* Nikon 1 Nikkor VR 10-30mm f/3.5-5.6 (27-82mm eq. FOV, ø58x42mm/2.3x1.7in, 115g/4.1oz)
* Nikon 1 Nikkor VR 30-110mm f/3.8-5.6 (82-299mm eq. FOV, ø60x61mm/2.4x2.4in, 175g/6.2oz)

I've added a comparison with 100% crops between the Nikon 1 10mm f2.8 and the Nikon 1 Nikkor VR 10-30mm f/3.5-5.6 at 10mm,
with crops from the centre, extreme long edge, extreme short edge and extreme corner.

Ole -- Thanks for posting these... VERY useful for me!!

BTW - have you played with an FT-1 converter and Nikon F lenses by any chance? Seems like it could be a "gold mine" at the telephoto end, especially if VR works well.
