In the same time, Nikon new lens for Nikon 1 system is also leaked. It is Nikkor 11-27.5mm f/3.5-5.6. It has narrower focal length compare to Nikon 10-30mm. However, it will be a bit more compact.

It is important for Nikon to get the lens as compact as possible because the competition from other mirrorless/compact system is huge. Let say Sony RX100 which has the same sensor as Nikon 1 but has 28-100mm f/1.8-4.9(35 format equivalent) retractable lens.
