Canon AF35M | Fuji C200 - The budget camera that gave me the film bug

In this weeks Film Photography Friday I review the Canon AF35M with Fuji C200. The Canon AF35M which was Canon's answer to the Nikon L35 AF that I did a previous video on was my first film point and shoot and it was arguably the camera that gave me the bug for film photography. I shot a lot of Kodak Colorplus 200 and Fuji C200 with it until I began upgrading to the Olympus XA and then the Contax T2. My first Canon AF35M had a broken film door that I held shut with electrical tape and after I sold that a few weeks ago I actually bought another one as there is something that I love about this budget camera and I will never not recommend it as it's a great point and shoot with a great f2.8 lens.
If you enjoy the Film Photography Friday series and would like to help support the channel by donating the price of a roll of film a month you can do so here and I would massively appreciate it!

[@Sinister_Joe]

Thanks! :D

[@moepreme]

Thnx you 😂😂

[@DM-su6li]

Just got one for 10 dollars from a thrift store. It's my first camera so I'm excited to get started. I just need a new lens

[@gracemakeslace]

Just bought one this morning in a thrift shop for $1! I'm excited to learn how to use it and to play with film!!!

[@AdamRedmond88]

I have the AF35ML... I call it "Mr. Beepsalot."

[@AaronFleming]

The Af35m is more like Mr screams a lot lol

[@acidsnow5915]

there are so many great point and shoots out there! and this is def one of them! let's hope more people will get into film photography thanks for sharing, really enjoyed watching this :D

[@AaronFleming]

They sure are, I wish I had enough time to cover all of them! It's this camera that got me into film so let's hope that more people stumble upon it or this video and make the jump to film! Thank you very much for checking out another video!

[@sergeiminakov6979]

Just got one for $5, was looking for a review, found yours. Thank you! Good shots. Let's see what will I get.

[@hannahscott6737]

Where did you get it for $5? Antique/Thrift store?

[@ColinBloodworth]

Love it, some really nice shots. I snagged the Minolta version of it (made a couple of new videos on it) and my younger brother has this one. We may do a swap and compare. You're right, it feels super duper 80s...

[@davinshootsfilm7186]

The camera was a blast, Just sold mine after over a year of use!

[@AaronFleming]

It's great as I said in the video I sold mine and bought another one less than a week later

[@MarsKvaratskhelia]

My father had it end of 80s I loved it specially viewfinder rewind button and pop flash

[@paulp3053]

you can have an idea where the focus is, but only when the shutter is already activating, so its not very useful if the focus is wrong; even with 'pre-focus' it can't be cancelled. This camera is not even as half as Nikon L35, although it has some original stuff on it

[@Ineedahandle75]

I can't decide between this and the Nikon L35AF. People say the Nikon is the better camera. Does the Nikon take sharper photos? I'm a Canon man usually but feeling tempted to try the Nikon.

[@RunNGunPhoto]

I really did the look of this camera. I have the Nikon L35 and i'm looking to pick one of these up soon!

[@Elmosfun]

How do you know what ISO to set the film?

[@nemanjapoznanovic6331]

This is something that I also didn’t know but as I did research on Google , it says that for example if the film is Kodak 200, your ISO on the camera should be 200 as well. But it seems that every camera exposes differently, and maybe in some cases we need to adjust the ISO on the camera

[@AaronFleming]

I forgot to mention in the video that I have one of these for sale seeing as I have an AF35Mii on the way so if you're in Ireland or willing to pay shipping send me a dm on instagram or send me an email at [e-mail] :)

[@devinwells9399]

In your opinion which is the better camera if you had to compare the canon to the Nikon L35AF. I'm a beginner looking to get my first film point and shoot

[@AaronFleming]

@@devinwells9399 Honestly I prefer the Nikon L35AF, I've a video on that on the channel too!

[@Rotbart1980]

Nice video 😁👍 Just bought a Canon AF35M today for less than 3€ on a flea market. Thanks for the hint with over exposing the film. I will pop in a roll of Kodak Gold 200. Can't wait to see the results 😊

[@AaronFleming]

Congrats man, that's an awesome buy! You're crazy lucky! No worries man, best of luck with it! Let me know how you get on by sending me a DM with the results on Instagram ✌️

[@Rotbart1980]

Aaron Fleming I will for sure share the results with you 😁

[@nemanjapoznanovic6331]

Hey how was Kodak 200 overexposed ?? I just got the camera and Kodak 200 film but I start shooing with ISO 200 on the camera. Have no idea how the photos will come out 🤣

[@rottmas8961]

quic question how do you download the photos from the camera or get he photos

[@alfredosanchez2458]

So you shot color plus 200 on 100 iso?

[@mandacampx]

what do you recommend? that one or the autoboy 2?

[@artkusto]

Great photos! I bought this camera for about $3 on the market hah ;D

[@AaronFleming]

Wow that's a crazy low price

[@AaronFleming]

Thank you for watching by the way!

[@artkusto]

Yeah haha. I found it in a box with many other plastic cheap cameras (I'm from Poland). And here there are some pictures that i took with this camera :) tinyurl.com/ybakohqv

[@roleyondawrist3077]

artflyer93 nice pics

[@robbinvanmechelen1141]

artflyer93 love yout pictrues!

[@jjoohhnnttt]

Do you know how to take the battery door on and off?? I'm trying to replace my broken battery door

[@inzainly]

U shot using what iso? Stay on 200 or push up?

[@AaronFleming]

What do you think? Canon AF35M cop or drop? 🔥

[@AaronFleming]

🙌🙌🙌🙌

[@ezekielallen9278]

How much are the memory card

[@KatrinaTizon]

I have this camera but on most close up shots, the subject keeps on defocusing and are more focused on the background instead!

[@EpicDubstepManiac]

Wouldnt be 35ML better with wide aperture?

[@michaelm3512]

I have this camera and wanted to test its functions before loading film and specifically with the rewinding mechanism. I haven’t loaded film but I pressed the rewind release button the bottom and slid the rewind button to rewind but the exposure counter doesn’t rewind backwards. Is this due to not having film loaded or a defect?

[@cristobalsilva6288]

same here, seems to work just fine except for that, havent loaded it with film yet

[@itts_leslie]

just got this camera for free !! i cant wait to use, but i’m new at this what film can i use for this camera?

[@alysetaylor8497]

35 mm!!

[@Nina-dk4xp]

Hi there, what are the different films you used for the pictures at the end of the video? (could you give me in the same order as the pictures parade across please :))

[@spbmusiic]

Love this dude!

[@AaronFleming]

Thank you mate! Hope you're keeping well!

[@wanderdoors]

My dial won’t turn. Anyone know how to fix?

[@MANUEL11]

please please do more videos on the contax t2 please

[@AaronFleming]

I sure will I actually still have a roll of slide film in my main T2 from Croatia with another 13 shots on it that I don't want to waste and am finding hard to shoot because it's winter in Ireland at the moment and the film is iso 100. I'll do one as soon as that roll is done though

[@andrescastillo7832]

Hey man I just found this camera in old things from my grandmas late second husband, and I can’t seem to open the thingy where you place the film… Do you have any tips regarding it?

[@rainadu7853]

The photos are shot on Fuji c200 with what iso? Thanks!!

[@kishatan8113]

Up up up

[@jhuddyl5736]

Hi!! I bought a nikon L35AD2 as my first film camera (I haven’t used it yet), i plan on exchanging it for a canon AF35M, should I switch?

[@JaredStatler]

Anyone know what the filter size is for the AF35M?

[@abhisheksharma-pv8gy]

Hi...brother ...love from India....i want to know that whats the actual market price of this af35m Canon camera....is this camera antique?

[@melissasardaneh1394]

Hey does the unlock/rewind switch at the top only work once the film is put in? Because I haven’t put any film in yet but it’s stuck and won’t switch. I just got the camera from a camera shop on depop

[@AaronFleming]

I do think it needs film for that to work as I think there may be a small little switch in the back that senses if there's film there. If you close the film back with no film and fresh batteries do you hear a rewind sound?

[@melissasardaneh1394]

Aaron Fleming no the button seems to be stuck so it doesn’t even slide in the first place. I’ve put in film and taken a few snaps and it’s the same. Just wondering whether it only switches once the film is used up. Thanks for the reply btw!

[@fathiaaaafe]

which iso did you use when youre using the fuji c200?

[@alician3010]

do you take out the batteries if you dont use the cam even if you're not down with your roll

[@81springbrook96]

i don't

[@evannah25]

What battery is needed for this camera?

[@marianaalzate3132]

Two double AA

[@dieterdeinmieter6697]

Can somebody help me please! My Af35m worked fine till today now i cant push the button to shot! What can i do now?

[@marianaalzate3132]

Same thing happens to mine! I've already tried to force it with some tweezers (maybe not the best idea haha) but it didn't work :( Let me know what you did, or if at some repair shop someone could fix it for you.

[@TheNormannator]

Hi! Did you manage to get it working? I have the AF35M II (Autoboy 2) and it''s crased twice. Both times I've fixed it by just fidgeting with it, i.e. pressing the shutter button repeatedly, holding it, flicking the prefocus lever, switching the lens coves switch etc. Nothing forceful, just playing around. Also taking the batteries out, and leaving it off for a while might work in combo with the aforementioned fidgeting.. it took a while the second time, but it's still working now :)

[@TheNormannator]

Btw I've heard of other cases where this has worked

[@abegzz]

This was happening to me and I realized that it has to do with the batteries. Try to take them out and place them back in, it seems the contacts are worn

[@leylav9351]

Hi, I have the same camera and have a broken film door too 😣... I was wondering where you got it fixed?

[@AaronFleming]

I just used electrical tape to hold it closed haha

[@Mattleads]

How is this compared to nikon L35

[@gianni99999]

Pretty much the same theres a comparison on yt of 5 compacts where they compare them

[@corunseen]

Baught this in mint condition for 3€. The Autofocus conused me at the beginning. I feel like an Alien because the camera doesnt behave like modern cameras 😅 btw I love this camera

[@AaronFleming]

That's awesome! It's a cool camera once you get used to the auto focus

[@patrickobyrne1034]

Figure I'd tell you sooner rather than later, but it's pronounced "pay-tron" as opposed to something like Patrick :b

[@AaronFleming]

I've been listening to the blindboy podcast a lot and I actually prefer this pronounciation of it and I've also seen heated discussions about it where those from the states pronounce it paytreon and people from Europe tend to pronounce it pahtreon
