The Nikon L35AF is a compact 35mm point-and-shoot film camera introduced in the 1983, notable for being Nikon’s first autofocus camera. It features a sharp 35mm f/2.8 lens with excellent optical quality, built around Nikon’s well-regarded Sonnar-inspired design. Autofocus is quick and reliable, and the built-in metering system is accurate even in challenging lighting conditions, with a front-facing lever for backlight compensation. The camera is fully automatic, including film advance and rewind, making it easy to use for both beginners and experienced photographers. Its compact form factor and sturdy construction make it ideal for travel and street photography. Powered by two AA batteries, the L35AF remains a sought-after model for its simplicity, image quality, and ease of use.
