Nikon L35AF - Point and Shoot Rangefinder - 35mm Film Camera
Year Released: 1983
Fun Fact: At the time of its release, Nikon nicknamed this camera "Pikaichi," meaning top notch. While self-proclaimed nicknames rarely catch on, this one did, and the Nikon L35AF became synonymous with quality.
The L35AF was Nikon's first compact camera with autofocus. It was released in 1983, a few years after Nikon's competitors had opened up the point and shoot market. It was therefore also the first in the L series. It was an immediate hit thanks to its robust design, excellent specifications, and confident advertising. It has subsequently become a cult classic among collectors.
The winding mechanism, AF system, and every other function are powered by two AA batteries, which are thankfully common compared to other cameras and their sometimes annoyingly specialized batteries. Using two AA batteries, the economical L35AF is capable of shooting 100 24 exposure rolls of film! Additionally, automation is systemic with the L35AF, but there are some manual options available to the intrepid photographer, both by design and by jerry-rigging. For photographers who demand full artistic control of every aspect of photography, this may not be the camera for them. But those who are willing to bend their notion of how a camera should operate can still achieve their artistic goals.
