Question 1

I have a Nikon N4004 camera that has "AF" lens will they work with the FT-1 adapter and my J3 I just purchased ?

Accepted Answer

The lens will work.  It's very difficult to find all the correct information for using an FT-1 with an AF-D lens. So though your question was awhile ago I am posting this answer for others. An AF-D lens will work with any Nikon 1 camera using the FT-1 adapter.  Only AF-S lens will allow for autofocus because the focus is built into the lens. However, with this adapter vs a dumb adapter you can use Aperture-Priority, Shutter-Priority, and Programmed modes.  The camera can meter.That alone was a sure sell for me.  Something else to note is that you may attach your lens and not notice that the aperture has EE.  This is an error.  I at first thought it meant I had to use the lens to set aperture.  To fix this, set your lens to it widest aperture usually marked in orange and lock it.  After that the camera will be able to adjust the aperture on its own.  That is not in the manual, but is on the Nikon website.All manual focusing is center weighted and the adapter adjusts your focal length by 2.7x.  I have read that it is easier to assess your focus through the display.  On Ebay you can get the adapter for $180 Used-like New/Mint straight from Japan without bidding including shipment.  With bidding I've seen it range with final selling price from $146-$182.  I managed did best offer and purchased mine at $175 including shipping.

Question 2

Has anyone out there used this with an AW1?

Accepted Answer

I've used it with an AW1.  It worked great with small primes (50mm, even 85mm) but was way to front heavy with large zooms (like the 28-70mm).  Only problem I noticed was auto-focus was pretty slow and it had to hunt a lot (worse on the zoom then the primes).

Question 3

I have an af-s nikkor 35mm 1.8g lens will it work with this adapter?

Accepted Answer

Hard to say. Some lenses can be used in manual mode. Others like my 500mm nikor did not work.

Question 4

Will this work for a nikkor lens af-s 50mm on a nikon d5200 body?

Accepted Answer

You don't need this adapter to use the 50mm lens on D5200 body, this adapter is to use NikonDSLR lenses on a Nikon 1 body.
