📖 Overview
The 1 NIKKOR 11-27.5mm f/3.5-5.6 is a compact, collapsible standard zoom for Nikon's discontinued Nikon 1 CX-format mirrorless system, where the 2.7x crop factor yields a roughly 30-74mm full-frame-equivalent field of view. Its optical formula uses 8 elements in 6 groups with aspherical and ED glass, a 7-blade rounded diaphragm, internal focusing down to 0.3m, and a 40.5mm filter thread; at just 80g it was one of the lightest kit zooms of its era. It has no vibration reduction, and the Nikon 1 system was discontinued in 2018.
