I ordered this 32mm portrait lens to help document our time recording an album in-studio, and it does not disappoint. Photos were shot with it attached to a J5, and we couldn't be happier. The pics are sharp and warm with plenty of "bokeh". Emotion and the overall feel of the moment is captured easily. The steep price of this lens may be a turnoff to some, but you get what you pay for. We are not professional photographers by any means, but were able to get some great shots with this lens...pretty much just by pointing and shooting! People started to ask who our photographer was, and we had the joy of telling them that we shot it ourselves. I don't usually write reviews for much of anything I buy, but once in a while something will come along that deserves one. Spend the money and get this lens.Read full review

I bought this Nikon 1 32mm lens from Love Otaku in Tokyo. After it arrived I discovered it does not work. The aperture does not open so it cannot take photos. It is useless. I searched the internet and it seems this is a common problem with this lens. I advised Ron at Love Otaku. He made no offer to help. This despite him advertising it as new and unused. I suspect it was not new and was not unused.

A stabilizer is missing and for an equivalent 85 mm I feel it is mandatory

The major disappointment was not significant blurry of background expected with such focus and aperture (1.2), when I did portrait picture
