The first Nikon FT1 adapter is already in stock at Foto Hans Keuzekamp (€269). Here is a quick demo of the AF with a F-mount lens:

A quick update on using the FT-1 adapter from Nikon Europe:

Autofocusing is possible when AF-S lenses are used. However, focus mode must be set to AF-S (Single AF) and AF-area mode is fixed at Single-point with only the center focus point used.
[P], [S], [A], and [M] exposure modes can be used with CPU lenses however [P] is recommended as it is optomised for use with the FT1.
[A] and [M] exposure modes can be used with non-CPU lenses. Aperture is specified using the aperture ring on the lens.
Vibration reduction (VR) will function when a VR lenses is used. Enable vibration reduction, or specify a setting, using switches on the lens.
