About me: I initially had a clothing company that tanked. However, that experience taught how incredibly expensive it is to outsource your content creation. This prompted me to learn everything I could about photo and video. Shooting video and photo was the aspect of the business I enjoyed the most, so I made the tough decision to focus on those disciplines. Just like you, I’m still learning but I still want to share my experience with you because I love watching videos basically anything related to film photography and video. I hope you’ve taken something useful from watching my channel. It’s been proven that subscribers to my channel are 47% happier than non-subscribers. Food for thought.
Happy Shooting, Zain

i think this definitely takes a lot of work for you but this was one of the best ive seen from you!
Thanks brother. Appreciate you noticing the extra effort! Haha
Hello Zain. Great video, I will see some more of your stuff. My mum died three years ago, and among her things I found the Nikon L35AF (400 iso). It has been lying in a box ever since, and I thought about giving it away for charity. After seeing your vid I will NEVER surrender it, and I hope My Sun will find it after ME sometime. Thank you for the great vid, pls stay safe, regards from Tino, Denmark :-)
Tack Jakin! Your mum left you a gem. It'll be the perfect camera to teach your son photography with. Thanks for watching, Jakin. Hope you're a subscriber now :)
Great camera, Great review! I’ve uploaded vids on the L35AF and its sibling the L35AD2, and had a very good experience with both. Found you through Madison B - looking forward to checking out more of your videos!
Thanks a lot! I just watched those two videos of yours. Very informative.
Zain Riza Thanks!
nice work man! really liked this video!
thanks dude. Appreciate it.
Yo... some of these shots give off HEAVY Saul Leiter vibes👌🏽💯💯
Damn. That's a huge compliment! Not sure if I see it myself but I'll take it!
Awesome video man! Ive been eyeing the L35AF for awhile now and you definitely convinced me to finally get one. Gonna look for one of those 1000iso versions but if not ig 400 is enough for most average point and shoot use. Cheers from Taiwan
No worries Shen. You're going to love this little camera. I recently sold it because I needed the money to buy a lens I REALLY wanted. Unfortunately, point and shoots haven't fit my style for the past year so it was a VERY tough decision to sell it. Regardless, I still think that L35AF lens is still one of the sharpest on any camera.
Mantap bro!
Just saw this video and it was so informative and fun! Had to subscribe!
Yay! Thank you! It'd be awesome if you checked out my IG as well. I post there daily but no worries if you don't haha
@@ZainRiza oh most definitely I will follow right now!
That intro tho 🔥
Great pictures
I have a yashica T4 and I think it’s as good as my other cheap point and shoots, I agree that you shouldn’t spend crazy amount of money on a camera that will eventually become a brick lol
Haha I’m glad you like the intro. Would love to try that Yashica.
Hahaha love the vid dude. Great point and shoot
Haha thanks Drew.
Watching right now from the Philippines!! 🤍✨
Hello!
5:52 was by far my favourite image. This camera is very good, altough today, a bit pricey, suffering the same problem that the T2. However, comparing both cameras is just ridiculous, the Contax is far superior on every single aspect.
Did you watch the whole video? I basically make the same conclusion that the T2 is better in every aspect but the point of the video is to shed light on other far more affordable options that would hold their own against it. The T2 is literally ten times more expensive than the Nikon, but is it 10 times better? That's the point of the comparison. Both cameras will eventually break beyond repair; the difference with the Nikon is that you'd have lost an expensive meal's worth of money, not a month's wages. Also, thank you; that photo is also one of my all time favourites taken with this camera.
@@ZainRiza I mean not necessarily, the myth of this cameras eventually becoming a brick is (kinda) fake, and fed with a lot of hatred on analog communities towards the Contax. People basically started saying that (opposite from Leica p&s models) because Kyocera went broke and closed for good. But there’s still plenty people around the globe who can repair most of the electronics from your T2, in NY there’s a well known store who bring this ones to life. It’s not cheap, but you don’t have the live with an 800 dollar brick holding your papers anymore. And obviously this Nikon is far easier to repair, and there are lots of spare parts around (and there gonna be for a while).
Subbed!!, love the content
appreciate it Maui!
I love how you channeled Jeremy Clarkson there!
haha really? Didn't even realise that. I'll take it though!
Hello from Malaysia. Will get one after watching your video. Video mantap!
Hey Eugene! You won't regret it. It's honestly one of the best PS you can get.
Nice review!! More cam reviews please
I got you
This is awesome!!!! Do you have more flash images you would be willing to share? I love using point and shoots at wedding receptions!
Thanks Morgan! To be honest, I don't think I have many shots with the flash on. I hope you're a subscriber now!
Nice compact camera, from the photos in the video it seems that the lens works quite well!
The lens works really well. Just wish I could say the same for the battery door.
@@ZainRiza At least for the battery door you can have a solution, better this than having a problem with the lens ;-)
Plastic fantastic is perfect
You said it!
great video you should try the chinon auto 3001 Multifocus 😉 it will blow your mind
Thanks Norman. I assume that's your favourite PS camera?
Zain Riza yes but i don't commit myself 😂 i have a lot of favorites! i also love the l35af 😉 i like it when the p & s is not so well known and yet the hyped outperforms
Hey Zain, I have an MJU II and I like it but it misses focus a lot. So Im looking for a replacement. Does your camera miss focus much?
Nope. It's pretty reliable. Hope you're a subscriber now :)
Three things: Firstly, on my L35AF (which is an earlier version), the ON/OFF switch feels just fine and clicks into either position. It sounds like yours is worn out. Secondly, there were two versions of this camera made. The earlier version (max. ISO 400) featured an all plastic battery door, while the later version (max. ISO 1,000) featured a plastic battery door with a metal catch added for more durability. Finally, be very careful to keep the front element free of any sort of fingerprints or oils. I had to replace the lens on mine because someone’s fingerprint hadn’t been cleaned off of the front element for so long that it burned through the coating!
Great tips and info, Jason. Thank you for sharing!
Do you recommend the version with the manual ISO or the one that has it automatic?
I didn't know there's an automatic version. I don't think it'd make a huge a difference anyway.
I own this same camera although I experience a lot of issues with the shutter button not working. It will shoot one every so often but as soon as the flash goes off it will not. Sometimes when holding the flash down it will take the photo but more likely than not it won't.. have you experienced these same issues at all?
That's really annoying. I can't say I've had the issues you're describing. Sounds like you might some electronic issues with yours.
What exactly didn't you like about the Olympus xa? I'll maybe get the opportunity to buy one quite cheap, very soon.
BTW: great content. Keep it up 👍🏻
I’m pretty sure I say in the video. But my main issues with it were the viewfinder being too small, I had to strain my eyes a lot, and the focus patch wasn’t bright enough in a lot of lighting situations. The lens is a beast and I love the aperture priority. But yeah those two issues kept getting in the way. Also, thanks! Hope you’re a subscriber 🙂
@@ZainRiza Thanks for answering so quick.
And yes, already subscribed :)
great review, I just found one of these gems at a rummage sale for $10, have gone through a couple rolls already, and the photos turned out great, the lens on this camera is incredibly sharp.
$10?!?! ARE YOU KIDDING ME? haha that's one of the best finds I've heard. This lens is honestly one of best I've used. So sharp.
@@ZainRiza Yea, somebody was in the middle of a move and had it included in a camera bundle with 2 Minolta Freedoms. I'm so happy I stumbled upon it, got very lucky. Was so happy to find out it works.
@@ZainRiza dude, I found another today for $15 with original case and the manual. If only I could have as much luck with other coveted point & shoots
I own the Nikon L35AF2 and it also has a TERRIBLE battery door. Plus my flash is stuck in the up position. I still take some shots on it but now that I have the Yashicat3, it doesn't get as much use.
oh I would love to try that camera.
My grandpa recently gave me his nikonL35 af and I am wondering what films do you reccomend for this camera?
well firstly that's amazing. What a camera to give you. I don't think you can go wrong with any of the film stocks. Which film stock you shoot depends on the look you're going for. Personally, my favourite colour film stocks are Fuji Pro400H, Portra 160 and ColorPlus 200. For BW, I really like Tmaxx or Tri-X.
@@ZainRiza ouhhh thanks a lot for the recommendations!!
Does something happen if I have my ISO dial setting set to 800 if I’m shooting on Kodak Portra 400?
It just means you're rating your film at 800 ISO, meaning, in this case, you'll be underexposing the film by 1 stop.
Zain Riza thanks!
Cristian Murs no problem. Hope you’re a subscriber now!
How do you reveal the photos or how do you pass them to the computer? Please
Do you mean digitise the negatives? I should be making a video about scanning soon, but I've got an old video about scanning if you search for it on my channel.
@@ZainRizathank u dude ⚡️
How does the Hi Matic AF2 compare to the l35 ?
Pretty similar camera. Both plastic, fantastic. Hi Matic doesn't have auto wind or advance. The lens on it is also fantastic. It even beeps to warn if the scene is underexposed or too close to focus. I'd be very content with either camera.
yo dude!! great video!! cool if i snag a couple clips for my video about affordable 35mm cameras? ill be sure to credit you in the video + desc!
no worries man. go for it.
Bought one today 🙌 bought an AD3 yesterday... dear god stop me buying more cameras
How much was yous?
@@abdularif1086 about $100 dollars from a local camera shop, and 80 for a used AD3!
Two of basically the same camera?! haha well they are superb cameras so why not I guess.
@@ZainRiza i know its wild! But i wanted to test out the 5 element lens vs the 4 element, and overall just to feel out the differences!
I am having a Fujifilm Klasse W. I never use it because it is too valuable. How stupid is that? I have taken out my Kyocera / Yashica Zoomate 110W for a walk recently. Otherwise I stick to my Nikon F3HP. I want to get another one because I love to use it.
haha the Nikon F3 is so good it's definitely worth getting two!
Just bought one asa 1000 not going to say how much 🤣🤷🏾♂️
That is a rare find. TREASURE IT! but also how much was it?? haha. This is a judgment-free safe space.
@@ZainRiza 200 quid its in mint condition tho hopefully they just keep going up in price i am a photography student so its for a project based on a point and shoot
@@ZainRiza basically double expos on a point and shoot
L Sengha that’s not too bad. Yep it’ll go up definitely
@@ZainRiza auction rooms are the place to get cameras bro
