Nikon Nikkor 30-110mm f/3.8-5.6 VR Lens for Nikon 1 System CX Format, Red {40.5}
-
$126.00
Nikon 1 telephoto zoom with built-in Vibration Reduction, in red.
The Nikkor 1 30-110mm f/3.8-5.6 VR is the reach lens built specifically for the Nikon 1 CX system. Its 30-110mm zoom range gives you genuine telephoto compression without stepping outside the native mount, and the built-in Vibration Reduction matters at the long end where camera shake shows up first. The 40.5mm filter thread keeps the overall package compact, consistent with the Nikon 1 system's travel-friendly design philosophy.
The red colorway isn't cosmetic noise, it matches the color-variant Nikon 1 bodies and signals that Nikon treated this lens as part of a coordinated kit than an afterthought. For anyone already shooting the CX system, this is the lens that extends your range without requiring an adapter or a bag full of compromises. Pairing a native mount with VR stabilization at a telephoto focal length is a straightforward, functional combination that holds up in real use.
Who It's For
Nikon 1 system shooters who need telephoto reach will find this lens fills the gap that kit primes and wide zooms leave behind. Travel photographers benefit from the VR at the 110mm end, where stabilization directly offsets the slower f/5.6 maximum aperture in less-than-ideal light. Shooters who bought a color-variant Nikon 1 body can match it with this red version. Anyone working in tight spaces or keeping their kit minimal will appreciate staying within the native CX mount than relying on an adapter stack.
