    No, you are stuck to their 4 options

    10-30mm f/3.5-5.6
    30-110mm f/4-5.6
    10mm f/2.8
    and 10-100 f/4.5-5.6

    All lens are the typical slow, or slower than the typical slow. No fast primes, no high grade glass, all just ordinary extra slow cheap plastic zooms (plus one fixed pancake lens that is also offered in all competition at the same price with a larger image circle). If you want good glass, Fuji, Panasonic/Olympus, and Sony have a much greater variety than Nikon as well.

    Attaching Nikkor AF-S lens is possible with the AF adapter, but with a 2.7x crop factor its sort of a waste of glass space. The adapter does not have screw driven motor, so non AF-S lens will not have autofocus.

    Olympus and Panasonic lens are intercompatible with each other, all Panasonic and Olympus lens are on the same micro 4/3rd mount. They also work, with AF 4/3 adapter, with all 4/3rd AF lens. Because those are built specifically for the 4/3rd sensor, you use the entire lens image circle.

    The Sony also offers an AF DSLR lens adapter, either hte LAEA1 or LAEA2. The 2 in particular offers an SLT mirror giving you bonafide DSLR performance in a CSC body, with attached Sony/Minolta A mount lens. The LA-EA2 also offers screw driven AF motor so it will work with AF on all lens.

    Since Fuji and Canon announced their bid into the market with APS size sensors, amongst the host of other APS and M43 bodies available now, their is now less and less reason to bother looking at the Nikon 1. As of this moment they have the fastest continuous AF (not single-AF) for a mirrorless option, but I suspect that will likely change very soon.

    Their is some confusion in the market as to the AF performance of mirrorless options. Many claiming superior speed and performance to modern SLR's. This is a partial truth, as it depends on very bright contrasty subjects. In low light and difficult contrast situations, SLR still spanks all mirrorless options back and forth.
