About this product

Product Information

The vintage look of the Nikon L35 is deceiving as this 1980s camera offers features for modern photography. Although this 35-millimeter film camera is small enough to fit in your pocket, it performs with reliable precision. Its autofocus function is quick and accurate even when you're using slide film. Its bright-frame viewfinder has 0.52x magnification and 85% frame coverage. The f/2.8 lens is a five-element unit that adds sharpness to your photos. Among early electronic cameras, the Nikon L35AF is a favorite.As the first model in the L Series, this camera was Nikon's original touch camera and has become a popular item for collectors. It was the company's first consumer point-and-shoot model and was introduced in 1983. In Japan, the L35AF was given the nickname Pikaichi, meaning "top notch". It works completely in automatic exposure with a range of EV 6 to EV 17 with ASA/ISO 100 film. The unit's AF gets a sharp image from 0.8 meters to infinity. With 35-millimeter film cartridges, the camera's film speed range is ASA/ISO 50 to 1,000. You don't have to be a professional photographer to operate this Nikon, as the controls are easily accessible and simple to use.Through the viewfinder, you can pre-focus so that your pictures come out the way you want them every time. The finder offers a lot of helpful guides, as it has picture frame marks, autofocus frame marks, parallax compensation frame marks, focus symbols, and a focus indicator needle. Many users find that Nikon L35 cameras differ from typical point-and-shoot devices because the finders show such an accurate indication of distance.The lens, with its focal length of f/2.8, captures the richness of the color in your subjects. It was designed by Koichi Wakamiya to be a modernized version of the Sonnar formula type. All lenses that are compatible with the camera's 46-millimeter thread will perform well with this Nikon model. For impressive black and white photos, just attach a yellow filter with a 46-millimeter screw. You can even use a telephoto lens to zoom in on objects in the far distance.A small lever on the side of the camera lens activates a 2-stop backlight compensation. At full output, the flash goes off and the Flashmatic system is coupled to the focal distance. If you want daylight-filled flash, then try covering the lens and lightly pressing the release button. The flash sync should rise to top shutter speed. The result is a clear, vivid, memorable photo even when taken in dim light.The filter accommodates the metering process that operates electronically. Likewise, the programmed leaf shutter is automatic and serves as diaphragm blades as well. The entire apparatus is powered by two AA alkaline batteries. With the release button located on the top panel surrounded by the on/off switch and a hand grip on the right side of the camera, the Nikon SLR L35AF is comfortable to hold and maneuver. Its self-timer allows you to be included in your group shots and family photos.

  • Nikon L35 AF

    This is one of the best compact film cameras. It consists of a 5 element 4 group lens. It produces photos of rich color and sharpness. Easy to use. I have switched to digital cameras now but I recently bought another Nikon L35 AF to replace my 25 year old faulty Nikon L35 AD which is the same model except with a Data Back. My Data Back only covers up to year 1999. That is why I did not buy the Model AD as it is meaningless to get a Data Back with no actual current calendar.

  • Awesome

    The best point-and-shoot camera, has everything you need, not only a very sharp lens, but what I prefer is the aa battery that you can easily find anywhere in the world, the size is not too big or too small, maybe some People are not satisfied with its sound or think its lens is not perfect, but please don’t forget that it is not the top professional photographic equipment used by the world’s top photographers, almost forty years old still low-key fashion... is my best choice, how about you? By the way very good service, thanks. Bo Qu

  • Great 80s point and shoot from Nikon

    This is a great Nikon point and shoot camera from the 80s. It has a very sharp lens, quick auto-focusing, and is easy to use. I'm a serious photo hobbyist who shoots film a lot, and I find myself bring this one along when I go places instead of my fancy SLRs. It fits nicely in a pocket and doesn't attract attraction and occasional hassles the way an SLR with a big lens does. I love this camera.

  • L35AF A Great Start for Nikon

    I had one of these way beck when. It was a great camera then and it still is. The L35AF opened the door for Nikon into the world of consumer point-and-shoots, the way the Yashica T2 and then T4 did for that company. The next generation of the L35AF, the L35AF-2, was known in the US as the One-Touch. It was the first Touch camera for Nikon and was followed by many, like the Action-Touch (waterproof), Fun-Touch (really basic point and shoot) and several zooming Touch models. For the record, the L35AF-3 (One-Touch Macro) is also a great camera, with its macro lens. Go for any of these cameras with strap and case. They nicely complete the set.

  • Sharp and great sized camera

    Great camera and great size wise. The lens is infamously sharp and defintiely a great starter camera. I have been warned that the film door will get loose, but I have not face this so far. Just a simply great camera. Easy to use Autofocuse of course.
