I brought my V1 to a game to take a few videos. I didn’t take any pictures. Unfortunately you cannot use a flash and you are limited to lenses that are less than 3″ in length. Pretty lame. Handheld shots are near impossible so I didn’t even bother since it was relatively dark.
Here are the Flying Dubs:

And yes, we lost. Friggin’ Dubs!
There are quite a few things still left on my photography wishlist:
Nikon full frame camera (D4, but more realistically the D800)
Nikkor 14-24mm f/2.8G ED
Nikon SB-910 AF Speedlight (I know, I had it, but now I want it again!)
PocketWizard MiniTT1
PocketWizard FlexTT5
Think Tank Shape Shifter Backpack
Fujifilm X100 Black Limited Edition
Manfrotto MT294A3 Tripod
Manfrotto 460MG Tripod Head

I don’t know if I will be able to conquer all of this gear this coming year since this list costs between $8,000 and $10,000! This has to be the most impractical hobby I have ever been inundated with!
“Nerding-out with Nikon” at the California Academy of Sciences, DeYoung Museum, and Legion of Honor:
I purchased a Nikon FT1 adapter for my V1. This allows me to attach any of my F-mount lenses to my V1! For $250, and with a 2.7x crop factor, this was an extremely cheap way to get massive reach with my existing lenses.
Nikon pron shots and sample photos will be posted down the stretch… In the meantime, here are a few teaser shots of the Nikon V1 + FT1 + TC-20E III + 70-200mm VR II = 1080mm:
Update: Clear sky and moon is out, so here is a quick shot:
No cropping:
Cropped to fill frame:
Stoked! (Even though I will probably never own one!)
