Dumb Q, but did u use flash in these pics? :)

[@aaronaaronhayhoe8681]

I love your honesty, capturing the good and the bad and not being afraid to show them both. Great little camera, interesting choice of film and love the look. Thank you, deffo would love to see more.

[@hazeverde]

Really surprised more people haven't mentioned this but it looks like you shot that roll at ISO 640 as the L35 goes from 400 to 500 to 640 then 1000, Great results tho regardless, I have always wanted to see cin800t shot at 640 with this camera. :)

[@spyratekodaks7494]

definitely make another video using this camera !! I loved this episode !!

[@ostevoostevo8989]

That is a great little camera ( the Nikon 35 AF2 )although ancient. I was a photographic salesman at Sydney, Australia's biggest camera store in the 80s and I sold hundreds, well maybe not hundreds but scores of that particular camera ! Nikon , in my opinion was the top camera brand at the time.They , along with Minolta had the best lenses. Looking at your photos it seems to me that you've done some color editing on your computer. The colors look more saturated than you'd usually get from 35mm print film.These look more like Kodachrome 64 (or 25) transparencies.Or Fujichrome 50 or 100. It's interesting that everyone calls film measurement of light ISO. these days.Back in the day it was usually called ASA. Great videos ! I've recently discovered you and subscribed to your channel. 📷🎙 I'd certainly like to see more of your photos shot with your Nikon . Nice to see people using film. It's a lot harder to get great photos on film compared to digital.On a roll of film you have 36 or 7 photos. Shooting digitally one can take literally thousands of shots, and by the law of averages you must get a few great pictures and delete the other few thousand. Shooting with film requires more skill to get great results. Back in pre digital days I would be really happy to get 4 or 5 great shots from a roll of 36. That's part of the reason I was a camera salesman...to get discount on film , D and P, and cameras , lenses etc. And I could be paid to talk photography all day long...

[@thomasjamesisaac7129]

really enjoyed seeing someone shoot cinestill in the day, rather than the typical night style photos

[@HighHatOG]

It’s “typically” shot at night because it’s an 800 speed film. Literally could not shoot it mid day in my RB because the highest shutter speed on there is 1/400th. Unless you want shots that are 5 stops overexposed.

[@thomasjamesisaac7129]

@@HighHatOG thanks i know, and you really could shoot this mid day with an RB if you really wanted to

[@kunai030]

moreover the t in cinestill 800t stands for tungsten light which already tells u that its normally not working good in daylight. anyway it worked good even though he did not use a tungsten to daylight filter :)

[@ikaros4203]

@@HighHatOG use ND filters and it's possible

[@crispymonkeybrains]

Great shots and nice POV going on! Got my first Nikon L35AF two years ago and quickly fell for the sharp lens and the contrast that it gives me. So nice, I bought it thrice and some. The sonnar designed lens is really good; doesn't have the NIKKOR labeling on it but it was definitely designed by "top notch" engineers at Nikon. It's been crazy seeing the prices on these soar in that time.

[@louisnesbitt3837]

I have the Canon take on this camera, constantly impresses me with the quality of image and it has certainly captured some of my favourite frames. Even when it does miss focus it sometimes it creates magic!

[@Room641B]

Which one is that?

[@robertknight4672]

I think a lot of companies in the 80s made dollar to this one I believe Minolta had one. I have the Rico af-5. On the Rico The Flash function is a little more thawed out and conventional. This is just a button to slide if you want to pop it up and use it you don't want to use it just leave it down iandthe camera will fire without flash and you just ignore the warning in the viewfinder. I think for the night during the trip The Flash to come up in daylight you don't have to block the light sensor and half press the shutter.

[@noir0k1]

Nice photos. Would like to see a comparison with other films to see its own “look” as you mentioned :)

[@deltasecho12]

i love this camera it was my first film camera, got it just over a year ago too :)

[@yungblackdude]

same! it was my first film camera about 3 years ago

[@edmundwongg]

"Classic America" 😂

Maybe he expects everyone to be obedient consumers? 🤷🏼‍♂️

[@kevhino]

Found my mom's Nikon L35AF. It's still in pretty good condition. I'm gonna give it a go this weekend.

[@larrymccormick3226]

Greatest point and shoot ever for me. I have 3 and just bought another on eBay. I mostly shoot b&w as that's my favorite. But one is for color and the new one will be rotated in once in awhile but mostly will keep for a spare. You didnt mention the 46mm filter threads or the 2 stop backlight compensation switch next to lens. Also if you aim the middle spot on your focus area with the shutter button half pressed it will hold focus and exposure while you move it for a better composition, then shoot ! You'll miss a lot less and be much happier ! Thanks for the video of my favorite ! LarryMac

[@appleshampoo324]

More L35AF please! Love that camera. Good shots!

[@matthewtomczyk]

happy thanksgiving everyone 🙏🏽 also shot at 7:45 is 🔥

[@FaizalWestcott]

Happy thanks giving!

[@winslow_j]

Love this new style of video with the commentary! I haven't seen this before and it's super informative. Also just wanna say, your channel inspired me to start my own and upload my first pov street video 🙏 Thanks for your videos, always super well done

[@teezotouchdownfan13]

loving the commentary! should do a q&a or something 😼

[@Mmxxaamm]

Just bought this camera on eBay, found a mint on a pretty good deal. Yout photos came out AMAZING, was wondering if you did a little editing on them to pop out the colors and stuff? Also, I'm travelling to NY in a couple of months so if this is how my photos could look with this camera, I'm thrilled af

[@GAROBERBERIAN]

Hi Dealing with the colour balance on the L35af and tungsten film can you screw in a corrective filter, presume you used photoshop for colour correction?

[@SISSI_LU]

Such an under rated channel!! Let’s hang the next time when you are in New York!

[@davidlowcher]

I shoot with my l35af about 75% of the time, I love it. It never fails to impress and get me what I need. Post more videos like this!

[@SnowmansApartment]

i tried to use it with 400 iso film in a sunny day and it didn‘t focus and therefore didn‘t allow me to press down the button completely. Is this a problem due to the relatively high iso for the bright day? Did you experience anything like that with your camera?

[@SimonRobeyns]

i was really dissapointed with this camera. Took one to vietnam to take as much as photos of everything as possible motor drive broke down half way and the pictures i did get before and after were really not super sharp or always completely in focus to be honest you really need to slow down as it's very easy to 'move' the camera when taking exposures it seems and you really need to hold it still so far i'm not impressed with the overall quality and this thing caused me way too many headaches for it to be worth the price my nikon f3 is also much more reliable in general

[@Cloud09x]

More! This was very relaxing yet I learned soo much. Keep up the great work!

[@somephotovideos]

Just scored the Nikon One Touch L35AF2 and ran a roll of expired color slide film through it to make sure it’s working. While doing that I stopped in to a fancy antique shop in Iowa City and they had the original L35AF you have for $300!!!

[@WilliamFollett]

I learned on digital, made it so easy, but recently switched to film. can't begin to explain how it changed my skills.

[@nightsbeatswitchgood]

just picked up the newest version of that camera (AF3 i think). haven't tested it with film yet, very excited! you forgot to mention how you can keep your finger held down on the shutter button after taking a photo to avoid your subject hearing the louuuddd film wind hahah

[@kattankarl]

I wanna see more everything this is my fav photo channel on youtube for sure 😎

[@FaizalWestcott]

aw thanks!

[@foisonurlubu4303]

Please stop moving the camera around all the time, it is very distracting and irrating. We do perfectly understand what you say without thses gestures ! Apart from that, all ok, thank you so much🙂

[@szcallister]

being that its 800 film, how come the pictures seem to be so dark? they're beautiful, just just seem darker than id image for an 800iso film

[@roudyf]

I bought the L35AF2 not so long ago and I have to say it’s by far the most joy you can get specially for the price you are paying...& You are totally right about the camera “character”...it’s a unique camera ☺️

[@errole]

How would a wedding and portraits photographer make money with these small cameras? Not just got fun but business?

[@aperturecollect]

I've had an L35AF2 and a One Touch 200 for a few years and find them very enjoyable to shoot with.

[@daphneportokaloglou2435]

Great work. What's your opinion on fuji dl300 for street photography?

[@depotmsa2362]

the nikon l35af does not have any features its just a point and shoot with a overexposure tab and 35 mm 2.8 lens simple

[@BugsTours]

because of this video, i bought this camera 1 minute ago. Thank you. When in NYC please reach out so we can shoot together. Thanks.

[@arpcsm]

I just bought my own cheap film camera and I have the Ilford BNW film in it! I’m so excited to see how they will turn out, still have a lot shots left and I’m so inspired by the way you take your pictures!!

[@aravindvinayakan]

Gotta say, I've never seen Cinestill 800T shot during the day, but dang it looks great! Awesome video, keep up the great work 👍

[@waregreg]

I see your progression and it's beautiful and inspiring to see you grow. Thank you!

[@thebkstank2095]

I've had this camera for a while. Shot a roll of film on vacation and then I think it was developed wrong b.c the guy said it was blank. Gonna try again

[@0rdsec]

NYC street photography inspiration we all need. Thank you! It's been real difficult this year.

[@angelbby2003]

who’s scans and develops your film ⭐️🎀

Do you have any videos shooting ilford delta 3200?

[@carrotstain]

Damn, them photos SPICY

[@2am1]

What is the difference between L35 AF and L35 AD ??

[@terrywbreedlove]

Really surprised with the IQ from that lens

[@AndyPerezCaba]

I deadass have 3 of these cameras. I love them. I’m selling 2 so lmk if y’all want to buy them off me or trade. Great video man!

[@yunluo4080]

Wanna ask, do you edit film scans photos with Lightroom or do you just keep the out come photo colors as it is? Thank u

[@FaizalWestcott]

I use a Lightroom plug in called Negative Lab Pro. It does a really good job of getting the colors right in the beginning and then from there if I want to make my own tweaks I do in Lightroom. I'll be making a future video on this entire workflow!

[@HankScorpio94]

Love the videos with the added commentary

[@jeffacosta8104]

Where can you buy a brand new film camera this days?

[@ant242002]

Can you do black and white film in that camera?

[@dargan91]

Love the strap at 38 seconds. Where can I get them?

[@COZY__BOY]

Hey why do u have the tape on the camera? To keep flash pop?

[@digitaljb]

dude at 4:15 has no idea he has mixtape cover on the internet somewhere

[@ityyax2931]

what aperture did you shoot on? f11?

[@vwokili]

did you pull the film in post production?

[@vangstr]

That's a lot of gear to be hauling around.

[@dandeliongum556]

did you use flash in these pictures?

[@danielerdos3046]

Mmm CineStill 800T is not associated with night photos because of 800 iso, but because it's light balanced to tunsgram lights (that's why it's T). Daylight photos likely produce colder tones and blueish tint. And because hipsters like to shoot gas station neon light with it for the light halation. It can be shot ad daytime too, but for a really expensive film I wouldn't recommend. CineStill has a 50d I think which is a daylight balanced film, if you really need that old-cine vibe I'd go for that in the daytime and keep 800T for either night shots or indoor artificial light shots

[@terryjp3050]

do you process your own film????

[@PineappleRay]

Love your work man! I got myself a L35AD, and love the images, but Fazial quick question, if you don't mind, since you used a 800 iso film, what iso film speed did you set in the camera? Because it jumps from 400 to 1000 (as the manual says, it goes from 400, 500, 640, 1000), not sure what film speed should be chosen when shooting with it

[@BigACinAZ]

Never thought to use Cinestill 800 at daytime. These photos look great.

[@luchocr693]

amazing video, I´m from Peru and i would love to watch another video with a different film.. like portra 400 o kodak gold 200 pleaseee.. I´ve just bought this camera!!

[@RYANPARKPHOTOGRAPHY]

beautiful video with relaxing explannation!! thanks for sharing!

[@TheWaterboarders]

I remember repairing these back in the day. They were popular cameras, competing with the Olympus Af-1, AFL and Pentax PC35. I don't remember the shutter making that sound, though... I like the look of the Cinestill film

[@milesian1]

Cinestill 800T is made from Kodak movie film stock originally rated at 500 ASA. I personally love over exposing it by rating it at 200 to 320. I was surprised to see you rate it at box speed during the day, but the results speak for themselves.

[@gastongatuso3945]

Where can I buy this camera ?

[@edvenuto9614]

My favorite is nikon d3. It professional full frame dslr. In released in 2007. It huge tank it 51 focus point 11fps low light Batman. I put old dx lenses on my d3 the camera so good it make all my 10 lenses great.

[@remigionewton3409]

Oooh! One of my favorite also that I ended up with two! LoL Before they started charging people a house and a car for them. smh 🤦🏿‍♂️ Solid Video, Keep working Brother, Hope we cross path on these NY streets in the near future. ✌🏿

[@scott-wright]

I just picked up one of these cameras for free. Supposedly not working but I managed to get it to work. Keen to get out and explore!

[@ThaCmaro]

Oh man, i really want a camera like that.. But it got really expensive. right now Im shooting with an Olympus XA but Id love to have an autofocus camera

[@naslime_snaps]

That photo from the bus stop was nice, very dynamic. Mind sharing what strap are you using on the L35AF? Looks like it has a carabiner

[@micheleastolfi6708]

Hey dude nice video. Do you have any idea why in my nikon l35af the flash pop out also in sunny light situation? i try to push down the flash my the camera doesn't shoot. I always need to shot 2 times to gettin a picture with no flash in. :/ maybe is just defective

[@estebantedesco1348]

Can you focus on a subject and then reframe while keeping the focus on the same object? (like any other modern camera)

[@sophiamarie1017]

Where do u get pics developed?? I like to develop them myself but I know that’s not realistic for my price point, do u know of any good places to have ur film developed?

[@nordishtm949]

Hi Faizal! Big fan of yours and fellow half-rooted indonesian here! Just wanted to ask if there is any way to get your analog presets to work with Luminar 4, or if there are any plans to get some presets for it? Keep on rocking! Jan

[@yannickgrundy]

Loved this video style, so relaxing and great to see the process of shooting street photography. First video I've seen from you and now I'm subscribed.

[@2126OOO]

nice vid man, enjoyed seeing the city with some life again and great to see Cinestill used during day... but as a street camera, that L35AF prolly not my first choice as they have to be the loudest camera ever!!!!

[@TopshelfJunior]

7:45 is the one !!!

[@Fujioh]

I just picked on up! Since there isn't a 800 marker on the ISO dial, what which of the two dots between 400 and 1000 did you use?

[@MusicByAngels]

It's quite strange to say that the camera adds character to the images and that the lens "sharpens images". It makes absolutely no sense.

[@CaleReacts]

One thing I love is how quiet the shutter is... like no one is responding/reacting, and idk, I just love that little detail in the manufacturing of it!

[@filmsimp]

Can you please do another video using another type of film with this camera like the porta 400

[@angelotipay]

Do you guys crop your film scans in 16:9? I'm just curious because I rarely see film scans cropped in that way.

[@EuanPreston]

Did you do any corrections in post? I'd have expected tungsten balanced film to look much more blue than this. The tones are really nice.

[@ken7el]

Which kinda GoPro would you recommend??

[@FaizalWestcott]

The 8 is what I use. I wouldn’t get the 9 as of right now.

[@ken7el]

@@FaizalWestcott thanks bro!

[@yusufswjy]

you should try the smallest fully mechanical 35mm camera ever the Rollei 35s. its rarely reviewed, the latest video about it was more than 1 year ago.

[@seanc5718]

Late to this one, but a random little thing with this camera is there's no 800 iso setting on the dial. The mark before 1000 is 640.

[@FabioRubini]

love the photo you took at 4:18

[@FaizalWestcott]

thanks!

[@pierrezapata90]

Actually the missed focus on that balloon stroller photo at 5:55 might have been due to the reflective balloon itself. That point and shoot was hunting. Might have been in if the lady or stroller were centered instead. But still a great photo

[@melvinch]

This camera can make any blue sky looks very vivid. Using just 2xAA batteries is icing on the cake.

[@dan-tf6ie]

I love my pikaichi for the glass and the threads but the build quality just isn't there. It's such a cheap plasticky feel which I guess is fine for a point and shoot but that shutter release is just not fun to use

[@Spencer_White]

Fab video, lol at the shutter sound on the stills hehe, but the L35AF makes that really funky sound 😁👍

[@HumanClouds]

Great camera, but ridiculously overpriced nowadays. Nice review!

[@ParkerMaguire]

do you ever get people who approach you after you've taken a photo?

[@AI-Hallucination]

You ever find the button sticks abit? the cheap lens hood is a good addition just because it looks cool. 800 is good for the daytime dark tones
