V3 focus issues with FT-1 adapter + 70-200 2.8

[UgoG]

I am more than sure this is user error on my part but I am having no luck focusing 70-200 2.8 with the v3 kit I picked up late last week. (the 10-30 lens that comes with camera focuses fine)

I have switched from Nikon to Fuji recently but kept a couple of long lenses and d700 for sports etc. The new v3 kit is really appealing due to size and frame rate and once the 70-300 Nikon 1 lens comes back into stock I hope to pick it up (especially if I cant sort out current issue)

I have tried AF-S and AF-C modes - centre focus point but am getting blurred pics even on static subjects. I have checked firmware on FT-1 and I have latest 1.2 version

Am I missing something?

Is it a Nikon 70-200mm lens? Can you manually focus with it?
My N1V3 works just fine with a Nikon 70-200mm VR II.

Jerry I have the vr II same as you. I'll post a couple of pics later when I have a chance.

What does the image look like in the EVF or on the LCD when you focus? Are you using AF on the back button or the shutter? VR on/off, have you tested to see if there is any difference? Have you tried any other lens?
