@faizal - what battery charger would you suggest for the x100v ? I really would like to charger the battery externally via a wall charger rather than plugging it to my laptop. Is there a trusted battery charger you would suggest. Alternatively, how does the idea of directly plugging my camera thru a USB + OnePlus warp charge adapter sound. ? Would this spoil my camera. ? I am very anxious abt this and need your advice.. thanks
Hey Man I know your going through some personal family stuff I hope you’re doing well man I wish you the best and hope to see you make some videos again soon. Your fans will always be here for you!! ❤️❤️❤️✌️✌️✌️
I've learnt that different films work differently in different countries.. in my part of the world, the sky is mostly covered with pollution and thus the sunlight that penetrates through the ozone layer gives a different light as compared to another country that has nice bright clear sky. Kodak Gold 200 to me is the best to use in Jakarta, Indonesia. I'd get that "truer" Indonesian vibe using that film. Whereby when I was in Tokyo, Japan, Fuji C200 was my choice and it gave me that "truer" Japanese vibe in my shots. So based on the results I encountered, I think that the films one should be using should depend on the light in that area in order to get to the closest "truer" vibe of that area. So the next time I'm moving to another country, I'd probably have to experiment again on which films suit the area.
would you say that the films that are easiest to find in a definite country are precisely the ones that are best suited to the local colours and lights?
@@jeanaiplu3840 I'm not sure about that to be honest. Like in my part of the world, we're fortunately to have all kinds of films available in the market, so I've been fortunate to have tried different types that are available, whether they're major film producers or "indie" film producers. There is this Indonesian made film called Cartenz, and I didn't like how it produced the pictures when I shot in Jakarta, Indonesia. But my gut feeling is telling me this could work well under a different light and environment... like in a Japanese countryside, I thought.. But again, I also still think it's all about preferences.
@@umareta Thanks for your answer. When you say films are available, do you mean in common photo shops? Or do you refer to films you can order online? If so, are produced in Indonesia or if they are imported? I live in Switzerland btw
I had one of these in the 80s! Bought in DC, took it to Europe, Africa, Dallas. Loved it. Seemed to have a magical quality of taking great photos. Then a girlfriend of mine left mine behind at a wedding and it was lost. Years later when I graduated from grad school I bought myself a famous 35Ti, thinking since it was also a Nikon, and a "premium" model, it would surely be an improvement on my lost 35AF. Turned out not to be the case! Somehow the new one just didn't have the magic!
That first exposure was amazing! Such an underrated camera. 4 years ago I had 5 of these L35AF when everyone else was hyped for the Contax and Yashica’s. Now the prices on this L35AF is soaring. The lens is very special and renders beautiful reds and yellows!
Happy to say that thanks to faizel's first video of this camera i've been a proud owner of this beauty. And holy moly it is fantastic!! funny enough till this date its still the camera with the best (focus indicating) viewfinder i've ever used. its so simple and thats what makes it so great
I can say the same. Thank you for this video and the other video you did on the Nikon L35AF. I have always loved Nikon and am happy to add this one to my camera collection as my analog, take everywhere with me, go-to point-and-shoot. I think I may have had this camera when I was in high school when it first came out (damn, I am now old). However, this time I'll make sure to treasure it more and not get rid of it. Thanks again, and I am enjoying your videos.
Hi Faizal, what a coincidence. I bought this camera for around 80€ (90$) this week and also bought the Fuji C200 to see its results. Good video, greetings from Spain!
This is my go-to point and shoot. If you catch me in public I likely have this on my person. I absolutely love it, especially for street photography. My only critique is it's easy to pop the flash up or accidentally jostle the on/off switch in a bag or pocket which in effect will drain your battery. There have been tons of times where I was ready to shoot and there was simply no juice. That said, it's a monster. And the flash is great. Thanks for the video.
Good to see another frequent shooter of this cam! What I do to keep the flash from going off is apply a little bit of gaffer tape to it, seems to do the trick
I wasn't super blown away with its lens, but I haven't put a ton of rolls through it over the years. I like the flash override, and that you can hold down the shutter to wind later to be more inconspicuous.
I agree, I just went through some rolls and the lack of quality was what I noticed first. Everyone hails the sharpness but then their photo samples are really nothing special.
I bought one of these recently and I love it. You're right about the battery door, it's so bad. I have been using a small toothpick to keep the battery door closed as it opens easily. But this camera is worth it
I bought an L35AF on the famous Hong Kong electronics locality, Nathan Road, in 1983. Cost was the almost exact equivalent of £100 GBP. Used it for about 8 years before I bought an Olympus AF-10 which was a) new and b) more pocketable than the L35. Fast forward to around 2015 or 2016, I put the L35 up on eBay at a starting price of about £9.95. Not a single bid. Around 4 years ago, I noticed that the L35's were now attracting a lot of interest on Ebay. Listed it again, with a Buy Now price of £100. Sold immediately.
Really nice photos! You have a really high hit rate to my eye. Looking at this camera as a possible replacement for my Hi-Matic AF2M that died after roll 2 😭 I loved the handling of that camera but they have a reputation for being fragile, the Nikon seems much better in that regard. That swan song roll was incredible though, damn
Cool video, some really nice shots especially the car, what other film cameras would you recommend that's point-and-shoot but offers maybe a tiny bit more control?
honestly i fell in love with fujic200 when i went away to wales in the mountains with just an olympus and a few roles...best photos i've taken yet it handles greens perfectly for me...a few years later that olympus met its tragic demise down a cliff so onto the next victim haha
My girlfriend just turned me on to your channel! I appreciate your vibe and how you approach your craft; now I’m on the hunt for C200 and that Nikon L35AF for god’s sake while you’re obviously moved on to the Q3!! I’m holding out with my trusted Type 116, but I know I’m putting off the inevitable lol. Thanks for the great content!
Mate, love the video, I picked up the canon version of this point and shoot in a market in Amsterdam for 5 euros and it works. You've got me so excited to shoot my first roll this weekend. Keen to test the black and white version of your shots.
I suggest people check out a Nikon af600 or also known as Nikon lite touch AF. It's a very nice camera about half as big has a 28 mm lens. And it's really more like a premium point and shoot. And takes excellent photos as well. As far as the film goes this would probably be my last choice if I was going to shoot anything with any plants foliage trees natural things in it. Kodak gold 200 would give a lot warmer and pleasing results.
My L35AF2 is now 38 years old and the battery compartment door is in flawless condition. I don't know if they improved it some way into this model but this camera has been in my family since my parents bought it in 1985. So, it's used a lot but also it hasn't been mishandled.
Looks extremely similar to my Minolta Hi-Matic AF2. Mine has a little trouble auto-exposing in high contrast situations. The lens is incredible though. Combined with a cheap film stock, the images have so much character. Great video man, love the shot of the car turning the corner!
The minolta af2 too is also a great camera. Please don’t mention it too much, we don’t want the prices to soar. It is the last secret awesome camera that hypsters need not know about.
This is an awesome camera. My first film point and shoot, I have the mark 2 where I can’t manually adjust ISO, it reads DX code. So I hack the DX code 😂🤷🏻♂️ on the canister. The lens is super sharp in mine as well. And I shot c200 on it on vacation last summer.
LA looks like an empty Tokyo with big cars. So much flat cement and glass! Nice pics, they look like what I get with a very different camera, my Olympus OM SLR. I wonder how your camera compares with the Konica Big Mini...
I once passed on one of these in a charity shop for £35 and have regretted it ever since. Another one came up recently in a different shop recently and they have priced it at £150!
I’ve seen another video about this camera and it made me think about one in my dad’s box of old camera’s. Long story short, I’m now the proud owner of my dad’s version 2 of this Nikon!
On my second copy of this camera because of Faizal and Benj Haisch. The lens on this camera is really sharp! My copies don't have a working flash so it's a bummer as I heard it's a really good fill flash for back lit situations and indoor use. Also, the C200 is my go to film stock at the moment. Not sure if its the cameras/lenses I use but the Kodak films are too saturated to my liking. Great shots and nice video by the way, Faizal!
I have this camera but the one touch version, doesn’t have ASA control, but the lens is just the same at 2.8 incredibly sharp. Been a trooper for close to two years now, got it on eBay for 100 dollars and the battery door is awful just got to be careful. If you have the chance shoot Lomography 800 during the night /day and it’s absolutely beautiful
Another great video. Colors were great! Ive shot this film before but never felt it landed with me. Somehow yours look great. Maybe I should run another roll to see :)
I just got one of these from my wife’s grandfather. The whole family knows I collect cameras and they all started going their their stuff to find them for me.
Do it! Image quality is about on par with a Yashica T4, but the Sonnar F2.8 can give the L35AF a great look to it at closer focus in the right light. Yashica Zeiss lens color/contrast is something special though. L35AF are great for the price, and one of the best internally made budget point & shoots.
The battery door is definitely a weak point in the camera, but they're fairly easy to replace and since it's just a small piece of plastic with a metal contact it shouldn't be tough to 3d print one. Also, like most p&s cameras there are a fair bit of parts cameras floating around so you could source a door that way too. The earlier version only goes up to 400 iso.
I have 2 of these 1000iso models and I think the earlier ones have that battery door problem the later ones have a metal clip inside the battery door that dosnt slip out as easy I have a 500,000 serial number one and then the newer one is in the 3,000,000 numbers
the box of the film in your video doesn't look like fuji c200, it looks like a new fuji 200, which is a different film stock. its datasheet is very similar to kodak films, check it out on the internet. thank you for the great content!
That’s the first camera I remember using back when I was 8 or 9 years old. It’s still in the house, but it doesn’t seem to work. And yes, the battery door is just terrible.
I want to buy that camera on eBay but the best near mint one I found is $150 + shipping😅 kinda difficult to pay that but then again I know prices will go up
Thanks for the video. 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.
While I was growing up we had an L35AF2 in the house (obviously tiny me had no idea what it was and I have no idea what happened to it after we moved from India to the US). Earlier this year I figured out exactly which model we had and went and got myself one. Been shooting here and there with it, and about to take it with me to Atlanta when I board my plane in a few hours. Can’t wait! I really wish I’d known you were coming to LA by the way! Imagine this video dropping the very day I’m leaving LA for Atlanta XD (though obviously it must have been shot some time ago… but still) Next time you come around to LA, let me make you some ramen!
It's crazy how much of a difference that camera w/ Cinestill is, compared to the Fuji200 film stock.. While still decent, the photos just didn't come out as good w/ the pricier film stock. I guess that makes sense lol.
Yo Faizal I just purchased the cheaper LA35AD version with the 4 element lens! Super stocked to see how these c200 images came out and keen to try it out myself Btw the car image at 11:11 is really something, the colours and composition feel very natural and not forced. loving it all
I’ve never used it outside at night but I’ve used it in dark lighting situations and used the flash. Sometimes I forget the flash even exists on it but it’s incredibly useful!
Hey FYI the link to your insta doesnt work on any videos, don't know if you chose to leave the platform or if you changed your handle and forgot to update the links.. I wanted to follow your work but frustated that I can't find you :(
Hey Man! Love your videos. I just had a little question. On my Nikon L35AF it has a broken front glass, (the rectangular glass which has the viewfinder and the two eyeballs sort of things) does it impact the photo? I’d appreciate it if you could reply!

a1 advice
different places have different temperatures. It's probably the reason why different color temperatures exist.

Aww what a shame! Maybe you could get another one someday.
Congrats on the partnership with Moment, I’ve been following their growth for years now
They’re the best!
That first exposure was amazing! Such an underrated camera. 4 years ago I had 5 of these L35AF when everyone else was hyped for the Contax and Yashica’s. Now the prices on this L35AF is soaring. The lens is very special and renders beautiful reds and yellows!
Thats insane. I hope you enjoy each and every one of them.
Do you still have any you’re interested in parting with?
@@Suburb_hell I could but if you’re patient and look carefully on eBay you can still find a good deal.
If you are willing to part with one of these and are interested in selling one I would be very interested too! Haha
Fujic200 is one of my favourites for shooting nature in rain especially. It gives very vibrant greens and browns.
I have yet to put this stock in that situation. Sounds like it would be perfect for that kind of stuff.
Happy to say that thanks to faizel's first video of this camera i've been a proud owner of this beauty. And holy moly it is fantastic!! funny enough till this date its still the camera with the best (focus indicating) viewfinder i've ever used. its so simple and thats what makes it so great
Agreed! It’s really all you need in a point and shoot. Makes it one of the best out there
I can say the same. Thank you for this video and the other video you did on the Nikon L35AF. I have always loved Nikon and am happy to add this one to my camera collection as my analog, take everywhere with me, go-to point-and-shoot.

Hi Faizal, what a coincidence. I bought this camera for around 80€ (90$) this week and also bought the Fuji C200 to see its results. Good video, greetings from Spain!
I got myself the second version of this without the iso dial and it’s so damn good, legendary camera in my books, great video too btw!
This is my go-to point and shoot. If you catch me in public I likely have this on my person. I absolutely love it, especially for street photography. My only critique is it's easy to pop the flash up or accidentally jostle the on/off switch in a bag or pocket which in effect will drain your battery.

The shot of the chairs at 6:59 looks so good!
I bought one of these recently and I love it. You're right about the battery door, it's so bad. I have been using a small toothpick to keep the battery door closed as it opens easily. But this camera is worth it
A toothpick?! Haha I’m curious to see what that even looks like lol
My battery door is still quite solid....a piece of black gaffers tape would be my first choice to prevent it from opening unexpectedly.
Love it bro, your videos are so relaxing to watch. Great stuff!
I don’t shoot film (wish I did) but the images from a film camera are just so full of life and I love watching film videos.. maybe one day, maybe..
this is the first video of yours that i’ve seen but you are a very good photographer. truly a creative inspiration
i really really like ur photos. also in my opinion ur one of the most coherent photo youtubers with what u say and do, keep up with evryting u do! :))

11:19 Soo good! 100% cinematic vibes
Thank you!!
been using my L35AD and been loving it no regrets

Great photos, Lucy Lumen on UA-cam has a bunch of L35AF videos it’s an amazing camera

As far as the film goes this would probably be my last choice if I was going to shoot anything with any plants foliage trees natural things in it. Kodak gold 200 would give a lot warmer and pleasing results.
Damn i would frame that shot at the 11 minute mark. Cool old cars get me every time, nice job
Thanks man! I'm totally new to photography and found this video extremely helpful.
Love love love this camera, great video. Great character, sharp lens. Love the 80s electronic brick feel as well :)

The minolta af2 too is also a great camera. Please don’t mention it too much, we don’t want the prices to soar. It is the last secret awesome camera that hypsters need not know about.
The best on UA-cam!
You’re too nice
The battery door issue is such an easy fix I'm surprised people mention it, put a bit of tape over it, sorted.
I have the Canon f1.9 version of this style of camera. I haven't used it in ages, but come the spring...
I'm so glad I found your channel
6:38 had a beautiful lighting, I was waiting for you to take a shot! 😅
I really like your videos of street photography.. 🤙🏼
My favorite photo you took was the old man in NYC with the glittery lettering jacket.
This is an awesome camera.
My first film point and shoot, I have the mark 2 where I can’t manually adjust ISO, it reads DX code. So I hack the DX code 😂🤷🏻♂️ on the canister.
The lens is super sharp in mine as well.
And I shot c200 on it on vacation last summer.
How do you hack the DX code? Just got a point and shoot and a bunch of expired Fuji Superia 400 that came with it.
Faizal’s videos always give me great vibes 😁🙏🏻
Love this! I’m going to buy some c200 now! I have a Nikon one touch point and shoot.
LA looks like an empty Tokyo with big cars. So much flat cement and glass! Nice pics, they look like what I get with a very different camera, my Olympus OM SLR. I wonder how your camera compares with the Konica Big Mini...
I once passed on one of these in a charity shop for £35 and have regretted it ever since. Another one came up recently in a different shop recently and they have priced it at £150!
I’ve seen another video about this camera and it made me think about one in my dad’s box of old camera’s. Long story short, I’m now the proud owner of my dad’s version 2 of this Nikon!
Wow just looked at this joint. And you coincidentally made a video on it !! Nice!!
On my second copy of this camera because of Faizal and Benj Haisch. The lens on this camera is really sharp! My copies don't have a working flash so it's a bummer as I heard it's a really good fill flash for back lit situations and indoor use. Also, the C200 is my go to film stock at the moment. Not sure if its the cameras/lenses I use but the Kodak films are too saturated to my liking. Great shots and nice video by the way, Faizal!
That sucks about yoru flash not working. Dope to see another L35AF + C200 shooter out here!
9:45 Is my favorite! Great work Fazial!
Thanks a lot!
I inherited my dads Nikon FA but have never had a point and shoot. Going to be on the look out for this or similar to muck around with!
That’s a very cool cam 🔥🔥
I have this camera but the one touch version, doesn’t have ASA control, but the lens is just the same at 2.8 incredibly sharp. Been a trooper for close to two years now, got it on eBay for 100 dollars and the battery door is awful just got to be careful.

Another great video. Colors were great! Ive shot this film before but never felt it landed with me. Somehow yours look great. Maybe I should run another roll to see :)
i love all the shoot every photo is great makes me miss shooting street photography in big city :)
I hope you get back out there taking photos soon
Your eye never stops amazing me! Awesome video!
Great shot! 09:23
Nice images and great job on this video!
i just got this yesterday at a thrift store for 9$ and was so surprised at the quality now theirs a video on it so seems like it was meant to be
7
Look here everyone! Don’t underestimate the power of the thrift!!
Literally just got this yesterday for the same price at my local place haha. Mines the 400 iOS version tho
been rocking the 2nd version of this cam for a few months
Oh yea I remember seeing you post a photo of it once. It’s a great pocket cam
I just got one of these from my wife’s grandfather. The whole family knows I collect cameras and they all started going their their stuff to find them for me.
i just found this camera in great condition at my local thrift store for $3. i will have to go through a roll to see how i like it.
1:43 wait is this one taken in DTLA? i swear that sculpture and bridge are on the YMCA building
Wondering if I should get myself one for everyday use :)
Great vid brother.
Defintely a great cam to just leave loaded in a backpack. I would probably do that if I didn’t have 50 bags
Do it! Image quality is about on par with a Yashica T4, but the Sonnar F2.8 can give the L35AF a great look to it at closer focus in the right light. Yashica Zeiss lens color/contrast is something special though. L35AF are great for the price, and one of the best internally made budget point & shoots.
I paid 5AUD for mine in like 2017. Love it still
The battery door is definitely a weak point in the camera, but they're fairly easy to replace and since it's just a small piece of plastic with a metal contact it shouldn't be tough to 3d print one. Also, like most p&s cameras there are a fair bit of parts cameras floating around so you could source a door that way too.
The earlier version only goes up to 400 iso.
Was about to ask the same thing - 3D printing may well be possible without seeing it in person.
Great video my man.
Fantastic shots!
I've been thinking about getting a point and shoot camera for a while now, maybe this will be the one i get.
I have 2 of these 1000iso models and I think the earlier ones have that battery door problem the later ones have a metal clip inside the battery door that dosnt slip out as easy I have a 500,000 serial number one and then the newer one is in the 3,000,000 numbers
I just found out my dad has this camera, going to get it fixed and give it a whirl!
the box of the film in your video doesn't look like fuji c200, it looks like a new fuji 200, which is a different film stock. its datasheet is very similar to kodak films, check it out on the internet. thank you for the great content!
Nice city shots!!
Inspiring shots!
That’s the first camera I remember using back when I was 8 or 9 years old. It’s still in the house, but it doesn’t seem to work. And yes, the battery door is just terrible.
i love your video!
I want to buy that camera on eBay but the best near mint one I found is $150 + shipping😅 kinda difficult to pay that but then again I know prices will go up
Props for pronouncing “Nikon” correctly!
Thanks for the video.
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.
i have my l35AD. its amazing camera
Was this shot on the old fuji c200 or the new one made in US? It doesn't seem as blue as c200
Mannn I was looking at one on Marketplace and it’s $200!! Sheeesh worth it?! Heavily contemplating.
While I was growing up we had an L35AF2 in the house (obviously tiny me had no idea what it was and I have no idea what happened to it after we moved from India to the US). Earlier this year I figured out exactly which model we had and went and got myself one. Been shooting here and there with it, and about to take it with me to Atlanta when I board my plane in a few hours. Can’t wait!
I really wish I’d known you were coming to LA by the way! Imagine this video dropping the very day I’m leaving LA for Atlanta XD (though obviously it must have been shot some time ago… but still)
Next time you come around to LA, let me make you some ramen!
Have fun on your trip! The L35AF is perfect for capturing those types of moments
It's crazy how much of a difference that camera w/ Cinestill is, compared to the Fuji200 film stock.. While still decent, the photos just didn't come out as good w/ the pricier film stock. I guess that makes sense lol.
I use this combo also! Did you set iso to 200?
Box speed, yup!
Does it have a timer?
Hi, has anyone tried a Nikon TW Zoom 105? Part of the Zoom Touch series from the mid 1980s and 1990s.
Yo Faizal I just purchased the cheaper LA35AD version with the 4 element lens!
Super stocked to see how these c200 images came out and keen to try it out myself
Btw the car image at 11:11 is really something, the colours and composition feel very natural and not forced. loving it all
That's very interesting Faizal. How does it perform at night? Have you used it for night street photography?
I’ve never used it outside at night but I’ve used it in dark lighting situations and used the flash. Sometimes I forget the flash even exists on it but it’s incredibly useful!
Hey FYI the link to your insta doesnt work on any videos, don't know if you chose to leave the platform or if you changed your handle and forgot to update the links.. I wanted to follow your work but frustated that I can't find you :(
The price of Fuji c200 has gone up to the equivalent of about $16 in the UK. I'm not kidding. It's mental
Where did you get your strap from?
You can really see how mushy the edges of the frame are in these photos with the L35AF
I let pass one the other day in a flea market .... Noooo.
broooo
@@FaizalWestcott still learning😅
Hey Man! Love your videos. I just had a little question. On my Nikon L35AF it has a broken front glass, (the rectangular glass which has the viewfinder and the two eyeballs sort of things) does it impact the photo? I’d appreciate it if you could reply!
What did you have your ISO on ?
also 10:57, COLD PHOTO
can you set this camera to iso 800 or is it just 400 straight to 1000??
How do you load the pictures to a computer?
What strap are you using?
