The 2 settings for the rewind are for choosing to rewind the film either fully, or rewind leaving a little bit of film (called the film ‘leader’) outside the film canister. That second option is nice if you process your own film, you don’t need to open the canister to unload it.

Giorgetto Giugaro was the dude who worked with Nikon to design the F3 (adding the red stripe) and I believe, in some capacity on the majority of their models since then. He was a car designer involved with DeLorean, Ferrari and heaps of other stuff en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Giorgetto_Giugiaro

I purchased two Nikon L35AF2s new in the box for $7 U.S. each around 2002. I bought them for my daughter who was twelve at the time. She was unable to destroy them although she did take out the next two digital cameras she had. They took great 4 x 6 inch prints, which is what they were designed for. The cameras still work fine and look like new.
@robertknight4672 10 ай бұрын
I just looked at the manual for the L35af and it tells you how to cover the meter to trick The Flash into popping up. I think that was just a cost-saving measure rather than putting a switch with a whole other mechanism in it. So I'm guessing the camera still meters either way. The other possibility is since it was designed by a car designer could just be for cleaner looking aesthetic. Other manufacturers made similar looking cameras that did include a conventional flash switch.

Lucy hi. Old cameras can easily be fixed if its mechanical issues by making /repairing any component or part thereof with superglue+bakingsoda, plasticwelding+steelwool, 3dprinting and further electronic or hobbyshop motors. Also pirate components by testing, catalog and toolbox. Never duct tape unless you are away from base. Other issues, try to get circuit repair diagrams and books asap, which you may find over the top but your electronic buddy could use when you turn to him, or even a client that have guts to repair stuff. Everything other than a broken heart can be fixed.

The ISO of the first L35AFs went up to 400 (like mine). Later ones go to 1000. Apart from my L35AF (that I love) I also have a TW2, which is one of the many cameras that I've bought but haven't tried, yet.

This was so helpful, thank you! Beautiful photos :) Just making the switch from digital to film, and chose the L35AF2 as a starter camera. I am a little confused about the no ISO option. Maybe dumb question, but what does it default to? Wondering how to decide what film to buy for it....
@LucyLumen 2 жыл бұрын
Hello lovely! Thank you for watching and I'm so excited to hear you are coming over to film :) Most film stocks will have something called a DX code and your camera will read that and do it all itself. Example you shoot colour plus 200 in your L35 and it will set it to 200 by reading the DX code. Some films don't have DX coding so then your camera will just go to it's default setting which various camera to camera and sometimes can be something annoying like 100 ISO. You can buy DX code stickers to put on your roll of film and this will then over ride the default setting or allow you to push or pull a film. Tbh I have never had to worry with this really and just shoot at box speed generally. I hope that makes sense I'm no the best at explaining technical things haha. Feel free to ask any questions you may have in the future too :) Happy shooting

I have the Nikon L35AF and it’s actually my first film camera but it always malfunctions. I was on my 32nd shot then the shutter button suddenly got stucked. The way I fixed this before was I open the battery door and try to move or push the battery further then closing the door again then it’ll make the sound after you push the shutter button which is the film advancing then i’ll be able to take a shot again but as soon as I take the shot, the shutter button will be stucked again so I have to do the same procedure, and that’s how I normally “fix” it but on my 32nd shot, that happened again and I thought oh i’ll just open the battery door again then try to fix/move the battery then move it then it’ll come back to normal but when I did that, nothing changed and i tried changing batteries and also tried to do the foil thing inside but it still didn’t work so I tried rewinding the film by pushing the button underneath then all of a sudden it started rewinding when I thought it’s not working.

It’s frustrating me cause I love this camera but i am wasting my film when my only to choice to make it work is to rewind the film everytime the shutter button gets stucked even if I try to fix the battery compartment. Do you guys have any suggestions? I messaged the seller of the camera and he said he’ll offer a return and a refund but it’s too much a hassle and I feel bad cause I still used it for a little bit.

As a beginner, do you think I should go for the classic L25AF 1000 ISO, or also the AF3 could work just as fine? You can really tell the difference lens-wise when you develop your photos? Do you have some insight on this matter? Thanks in advance.

Hello Alexandra, Thank you for watching and I really appreciate you reaching out and asking me about this. I am always happy to help. So I think the original L35AF is the best for many reasons, the lens quality, the ability to manually set the ISO etc. but if you are a shooter even just like myself who is having fun and not wanting to spend lots of money then the AF3 is a great option. The lens is still very good and you will get amazing photos with that camera and it will be cheaper than the original. So weigh up what is important to you I suppose. Also know that these point and shoots aren't going to last forever and do have some build quality issues so maybe not paying a huge price for the original is a good thing. Also check out the canon sure shoot 76 zoom, I think that is a little cheaper and the build quality is a lot better and I get great results from that. Anymore questions please feel free to hit me up on Instagram or here again on KZfaq. Love hearing from fellow female shooters! :)

Cosign! Giugiaro is an absolute workaholic. Designed the Lotus Esprit, Fiat Panda, Maserati Ghibli, and believe it or not The Hyundai Pony. I think he refused commercial recognition for that last one... 😅

Hi, very helpful video. What's about L35AD? Is it as good as L35AF?
@LucyLumen 2 жыл бұрын
I'm pretty sure the AD is the same as the AF just with a date back from memory. There's also an AD2 though which can easily be mistaken which is good but doesn't have the Sonnar lens.

Hi Lucy, is your Nikon L35 af the first edition or 2nd. As the original version only goes up to 400 Asa or is yours the one that goes up to 1000 Asa? Thanks Matt
@LucyLumen 7 ай бұрын
Hi mine is the 1000 version I actually have a bunch of them cause they are so fragile !
@mattsisley3700 7 ай бұрын
@@LucyLumen gotcha. I don't suppose there is a couple of notches after the 400 mark on the camera? If you have that one as well. I think it was the Pentax spotmatic allowed you to go higher with the iso. Was wondering if the Nikon coukd be the same. Matt

What film do you shoot with when you use your flash for photos with the l35af?

Hi Lucy! I just got one and it works! But it’s always on self timer even when I don’t set it on self timer. So I can’t take a photo right away like I want to. Any tips? Thank you! 🙏
@LucyLumen 2 жыл бұрын
Hey lovely, thanks for watching! That’s an issue I haven’t heard of but sounds frustrating. If you haven’t maybe try with no film in just taking lots of dummy photos with the self timer and using the switch/lever it may fix itself I find with lots of cameras problems can stem from lack of use for 20 + years and after a while it goes back to working when you use it again. It’s not a problem I have an easy answer for I’m sorry. Let me know how you go though! 👍🏻📸🎞

When I was shooting under hostile conditions where I did not want my Leica M6 rangefinder with 35mm f/1.4 lens to get damaged, lost, or stolen, I used the Nikon L35AF with 35mm f/2.8 lens as a backup.

Shooting macro on a point and shoot is being WEIRD??? Says the girl shooting a 1980's BRICK film camera? LOL I'm kidding. That bit made me laugh. I am OBSESSED with my L35AF. It's an original with 1000 ISO. Has a red "D" stamped on top as a "Display" model. Looks BRAND SPANKING NEW. Fires like it, too! ^_^ Loved this video! XD

このカメラについてニコンのサイトに書かれていた情報では、レンズはゾナータイプ。4群5枚。この種のカメラのレンズはテッサータイプ（3群4枚）が多いけどL35AFはそれより枚数が多いレンズを採用している。ニコンはこのカメラのレンズについて妥協しなかったということでしょう。

How do you change the cr 2025 for the L35 TW I'm really struggling
@LucyLumen 2 жыл бұрын
Hi Charlie, it's actually a little bit tricky you need to get a very small screwdriver and remove a few screws that are next to the main battery compartment then gently pry the cover back to release the 2025. If you're not confident with things like that it might be worth taking your camera into a shop and asking if they can help with it I'd hate for another one of these to go to the graveyard they are amazing when they are working!!

I’ve found it’s always an issue with the battery. Just try a few different very fresh and strong batteries and push down on the cover. If you’re careful a tiny piece of aluminium can work to help with the connection
