    Overview

    The Nikon 1 Nikkor 11-27.5mm f/3.5-5.6 is a compact standard zoom for Nikon 1 cameras, offering a 30-74mm equivalent range. Optically, center sharpness is adequate but edges are softer at 11mm. Vignetting is low, chromatic aberrations well controlled, and barrel distortion visible at wide end. Build is retractable for portability, with quick, silent autofocus.
