[QUOTE="stefan22, post: 305469, member: 18080"] [b]Re: j2 third party lens adapter problems[/b] it would seem that there is something very basic that you're not understanding with regard to the size of the adapter being used. the adapter is (in total) 7mm thick and reducing that thickness would be extremely hard. the adapter fits (as near as makes very little difference) flush on/to the body of the j2 the adapter (or something extremely similar) is for sale from many sellers on ebay/amazon ALL of whom declare that their adapter will achieve infinity focus .. however I am not sure if any of the adapters (including mine) are suitable in achieving infinity focus. alternatively it might be that the lens I am using (which is 55mm long) is the root problem .. but given that large zoom lenses are/can be used on the nikon 1 series cameras that would seem improbable. I have informed the (ebay) seller that the combination does NOT (I believe) work with the j2 .. and would NOT (I strongly suspect) work with any of the nikon 1 series cameras. I do note that the official (FT-1) adapter from nikon (for the nikon 1 series cameras) is some 25-30mm thick therefore placing the lens further away from the sensor .. therefore I would guess that the lens (rear/back end) is TOO close to the sensor. I have a working parameter (available focus) of 2-4 feet with the combination I am using .. which would be ok if that was all I wanted .. but it isn't so it isn't (ok/suitable) [/QUOTE]
