About this deal

To unload the L35AF of film you need to do it manually, on the bottom of the camera there are two switches, one to press in and one to push sideways, do this and hold the buttons until the camera rewinds the whole way, I usually wait around 30 seconds to feel happy that it is fully done. Using self-timer The AF3 also switched from needing AA alkaline batteries to the more expensive 223 6v lithium battery. While the cost of the new battery was greater, it came with the payoff of up to a 5 year lifespan. Nikon rated this battery as being good for 50 rolls of film with 30% flash usage. If you shot the camera without needing the flash, you could get even more life out of it. Canon also says this method should be used when trying to selectively focus. Since the camera uses a central spot in the viewfinder for focus, whatever is in the middle of the frame when the shutter release happens is what will be in focus. Obviously this becomes a problem when shooting subjects that are off-center, as happens constantly in photography (rule of 3rds, am I right?). By using the self-tim-err… I mean, “Pre-Focus Lever” it’s possible to selectively focus, recompose, and press the shutter release button again to snap the shot. Again, this is too cumbersome, especially considering the ease of use found in Nikon’s half-press method. And you’re certainly right that the lens has character, after all it’s a Sonnar, my all-time favorite optical scheme. I shoot on different formats of film and on FF digital, but 3/4 or more of my lenses are Sonnar or Sonnar-schemes; I didn’t do this on purpose, it just happened after many years that the lenses that got “culled/sold” were almost always the non-Sonnar…

Bas, you are correct that they moved to a tessar, but like Ed I understood there was a run of L35AF2s with the Sonnar. I might go and do some refreshed detective work and look at clarifying in the article. Beautiful Nikon L35AF 35mm compact point & shoot camera set. It's been professionally serviced and film tested - ready for another 40 years of service. It's available in my camera shop at www.ccstudio2380.com Note that I can confidently give (approximate) dimensions in terms of a rectangle because the L35AF is one — confidently and unapologetically. This is definitely a 1980s gadget! There’s none of that 1990s curviness and rounded edges — everything about the camera is a series of little nested squares and circles, from the rangefinger elements to the flash to the lens assembly and the body itself. If there was one complaint I saw with these images, is that some of them seem to have harsh contrast. I think that’s more of an issue with the film, than the camera however.

Lens

To change the ISO there is a small ring around the lens which you have to rotate, you will see the ISO number change in a small window as you rotate it, some L35AFs go to 400 and some go to 1000, the 1000 ISO camera is slightly more desirable. To load the Nikon L35AF with film Yes, suddenly there was automatic operation in what felt like tiny cameras! Lens on this one is spectacular!

Muy detallada la información, quisiera saber si lo que vemos visor es la imagen que saldrá en la película, o tiene error de paralaje. I mentioned earlier that this was the third fully automatic point and shoot camera I owned. One of those other two cameras, the Canon AF35M from 1979 was one of it’s direct competitors. To be completely fair though, the AF35M pictured to the left is 8 years older than the Nikon. A more fair comparison would be between either a later variant of the Canon and the original Nikon L35AF from 1983. Since I don’t have those two exact models to compare, I’ll just say that despite their age gap, the two cameras still share a lot in common.There’s also a little lever on the side that allows you to tweak the exposure to get a fill flash. And when the camera auto rewinds, it leaves a little bit of leader poking out of the film canister, which is extremely helpful if you want to develop your own film and don’t relish reaching into the canister with a leader puller. Hi , nice 2 read interesting review =) here is my cameras shelf https://www.facebook.com/media/set/?set=a.467215296690440.1073741828.467165093362127&type=3 Reply

In your review you talk about a way to make sure the Canon’s focused by using the self-timer lever.ASA goes up to 1000, too. This is a rarity for a point-and-shoot, and allows you to push a 400 speed film 1.5 stops or shoot with higher speed films like Portra 800. It’s hard to explain, but I just liked the images from the Nikon better after comparing a few rolls.
