    30–110mm · f/3.8–5.6

    Overview

    The Nikon 1 Nikkor VR 30-110mm f/3.8-5.6 is a compact, lightweight telephoto zoom (80-300mm equivalent) with good build quality and effective VR. Optical strengths include good sharpness at wide-to-mid zoom, though it softens at the long end (BestLightPhotoBlog). Weaknesses include significant distortion at 30mm and susceptibility to flare and purple fringing. The double-extending barrel design may attract dust. It suits Nikon 1 users seeking a portable telephoto for general use, but not for serious wildlife.
