NIKON L35AF | (TUTORIAL/REVIEW)

[@gxbszn]

This video was very helpful! And the link you provided, I literally got this camera today at an antique store for $5. Definitely following your film instagram!

[@Lobapixel]

Damn dude! You basically got it for free! I don’t have any good antique stores in my area so I went for the $80 because it was the cheapest online at the time 👌. But $5 is a complete steal! 😍. I’m really happy for you dude and thank you so much for showing love to the video 🙏

[@Lobapixel]

I guess the popularity of this camera has sky rocketed and now that price is very pricey 😭. I’m glad you got one! But that $126 hurts me 😭. Take care of that camera and treat it like a baby 👍📸

[@gxbszn]

@@driftfastordie Yes! I'm super grateful, it's crazy

[@Lobapixel]

It’s sad to see these clunky plastic cameras be overpriced because of popularity 😭. But that 35 ti is going to be so sweet 😍📸

[@Lobapixel]

You better treat it like a baby! You got a great deal too! 🤘🤘🤘

[@iso6460]

This camera is so good...the lens on it is so sick. Nice, wide, good flare control, and wow there's no distortion. Let's not forget how small it is too. Seriously a sleeper of a camera and its one of my favourite cameras ever. Great video man!

[@Lobapixel]

Thank you so much for the love dude! I really appreciate it :)

[@shahidibrahim888]

Bro, such a great video. Ive had this camera for a few years. My brother bought it at a yard sale. Cleaned it up, and started using it. beautiful. This was by far the most approachable and awesome intro guide to using this camera. Cant wait to get these photo's printed.

[@Lobapixel]

You literally made my New Year’s Eve homie! Thank you so much for the love! I appreciate it so much 🙏. Let me know when you get those photos printed! I would love to see them 📸🎞🙏

[@thephantomofthetube]

For iso dial: Use 2 thumbs, press one on each side of the dial, then turn with pressure

[@rebeccafromflorida1100]

Really appreciate this video - I see you posted it almost 3 years ago but I found one at a thrift store and this was SO helpful!

[@Lobapixel]

It’s so cool to hear that many people are finding this beautiful camera at thrift stores! The lowest I’ve heard in this comment section was $2 in prestige condition! Really glad that my video helped you out and hope you get some amazing shots! ✨🙏✨

[@spartanfriki]

Got this camera at a Tianguis for $5 dollars, when I started to research for it I realized I made a good purchase, thank you so much for the info 🙌🤠

[@Lobapixel]

You’ve made such an amazing purchase! And for $5 it’s such a steal! Super happy for you! I still use mine till this day and enjoy every second of it! ✨🙏

[@Knightoptyx]

Thanks for the video. I went to the thrift store today and picked this fine camera for $5.99. I can’t wait to to run a roll of film through it.

[@Lobapixel]

I’m glad that you got some type of value off of this video! Hope it helped 😊. But what I’m most hyped for is that you got this cam for $5.99 which is an unbelievable steal! Lowest I’ve seen in the comments section was $2.99! So you’re in 2nd place which is still great 😂. I would love to see what you captured on your first roll for sure 😍📸

[@giuliamattioli2010]

This video helped me so much! I'm a beginner with photography and I've started an online program during this quarantine because I've always wanted to learn to use my L35AF I inherited from my uncle! Thank you for sharing this tips! What I enjoyed the most is that at the end you wrote under every photo the film you used during the shooting! Can't wait to start shooting:)

[@Lobapixel]

I’m so glad that this video brought you some type of value! It makes me very happy to hear that you learned something about this gorgeous camera! The nikonl35 is a gem and should be treated like one! Take care of it 😊. It would be cool to see what kind of photos your uncle took! I would compare them side by side just to see how different both your perspectives are 👍. Start shooting asap 🙏

[@althomson8782]

Thanks. Just bought the camera. Very useful and nice to watch

[@yanagasan]

I just bought this camera and your video was super helpful, thank you! I was worried the iso wheel on mine was stuck and wouldn't have had the courage to really push on it without you sharing the same experience.

[@Lobapixel]

Glad that the video was helpful! Can’t wait until you enjoy this beautiful little camera to its full potential ✨👏✨

[@camillalauriola1357]

Just got this camera and your video answered all my questions! Can't wait to shoot with it! :D

[@Lobapixel]

I’m so glad! I hope you enjoy it to it’s fullest potential 📸😊

[@bbrunorocha]

[@timothylacey1555]

Thanks for the vid! I just picked this camera up yesterday and am super stoked about it!

[@Lobapixel]

Nice! Super hyped for you! Enjoy it! I still use it for fun when I got out with my fiancé 🙏✨

[@jogatadesign]

Extremely helpful video! Thank you so much! I just found one of these at a local goodwill for 10$ and I'm so excited to start using it

[@Lobapixel]

$10! That’s such an amazing deal! Can’t wait for you to enjoy it! It’s a really fun camera to use!

[@sheatetables]

awesome video! i just got mine in the mail this week and when i finally got film for it today, i realized i had no idea what any of the buttons did! so this was a major help for me, thank you so much!!

[@Lobapixel]

First of all! Congrats on the purchase and second of all! I’m glad that this video brought you some type of value! I hope you enjoy the beauty of the NikonL35AF 🥰

[@alps723]

I’m considering this as my first point and shoot film cam. I have a mechanical camera but I want a compact one that is super handy and easy. Really nice video btw.

[@seltorres9724]

Thank you for the review! I got this camera for a dollar at goodwill back in 2016/2017 and never knew how to use it. Your pictures were dope!!

[@scottcosta7119]

Great video, helpful information, and positive outlook on life. Thank you! ✌

[@aegyomobrecords9506]

THank you so much for the love dude!. I hope you get it and in return get some bangers! If you do share it with me! :). I would love to see the results!

[@kamikirkflores]

cutest camera reviewer ever! ☺️ i just bought this camera for a friend. so excited to give it to them.

[@Lobapixel]

Thank you very much! You’re about to make your friend a very happy person! I’m glad that you got this camera as a gift and I hope he/she enjoys it to the fullest potential 📸👍🎞

[@Vile0387]

Just picked one up in great condition for $8 at a swap meet. I hope it works. Looks great, has a lens filter protector and has the original Nikon front cap that covers the lens and all the stuff next to the view finder. There is a roll of film in it as well. Maybe I'll develop it and find something crazy 😆

[@Ssdake]

Great video mate, i bought this camera about two weeks ago, cant wait to get the first film developed.

[@Lobapixel]

Thanks man! 👍. Share some images! I would love to see what you captured on the first roll with the NikonL35AF 🎞🤘

[@Ssdake]

Jordan Lobaton Sure mate, if youre interested, you can find me @ instagram nick 1000kuvaa, it is new account i just made to publish pics where im behind the camera, atm theres only few pictures, but new material is coming asap, and il keep uploading always when i got new stuff developed. :)

[@Lobapixel]

Yes! I got you with the follow :). Can't wait to see them! :)

[@semper_fi_centeno]

Bruh, such a awesome review. Thank you so much. I'm deff going to buy one now that I am sure

[@Lobapixel]

Really happy to hear that it helped you out 👏. Can’t wait until you get one too 👍

[@AI-Hallucination]

Bro your description of getting close to the person with the camera is brilliant.. camera handling is not discussed enough.

[@Lobapixel]

Thank you I’m glad some of it helped! 👾😎

[@tuttmasterc]

I like the 2 stop button, and the fact you can thread on filters

[@Lobapixel]

I wish I got the lens hood for this cam! It looks so nice 😍

[@SomethingFunctional]

Thank you!! Just got this camera for $80 which was the cheapest I saw anywhere, super stoked on it.

[@Lobapixel]

Nice! You got the same deal as me! I think that’s the cheapest it going to get lol! Glad you got it and I hope you enjoy it 🖤🗝

[@aguy4247]

I picked one up at goodwill yesterday for $3.49. Always remember thrift stores and goodwills!

[@rach.2489]

I'm so excited for you! Can't wait until you see your first roll with them! It's so amazing to look at for the first time that you'll want to shoot more 😀. Glad that my video helped you out!

[@stevens4094]

I just bought the 1000 ISO version off eBay and this video answered all my questions. Thank you!!

[@Lobapixel]

sold! Thanks for the great video

[@Lobapixel]

You won't regret it! 😊

[@QisminaMazaya]

Thank you for sharing this video! I bought this camera a week ago, I'm a beginner and this video is very helpful. I hope the pandemic will pass soon so I can take photos outside 😄

[@Lobapixel]

Nice! I’m very glad that you gained some value out of this vid! 🖤. Definitely document what’s going on with the world, but also document/practice taking photos inside as well 👍👾📸

[@G60s]

I have about 10 film cameras but this one is my favourite! Great review man!

[@Lobapixel]

That’s awesome dude! And also thank you for the kind words 👍. What film cameras do you have if you don’t mind me asking? 🤓📸

[@G60s]

Hey man! I have the L35AF (the 1000 iso one), Olympus OM2, Lubitel, Mamiya 645, Polaroid, Fuji Wide, Holga, Nikon F4 and a couple more point and shoot in storage. I went film camera crazy for a while a couple years ago...I didn’t eat for months lol

[@Lobapixel]

That Olympus om2! I’ve heard great things about that camera 😍. Haven’t tried medium format at all, I have to try it soon! I heard that Nikon f4 is built like a tank 👍

[@G60s]

Jordan Lobaton I’ve have the F4 for 2 years but only used it once. The om2 I have is mint...was pretty lucky.

[@martinmagnia314]

sweet photos! im stoked to get one thanks to this vid!

[@Lobapixel]

Let me know when you get one! I’d love to see some of your shots 🙏📸🎞

[@oveloz3]

Not sure if anyone has commented this already but you’re not supposed to close it shut like that! You’ll damage the security lever. You’re supposed to pull down the same lever you used to open it up and then close it.

[@Lobapixel]

Thanks dude! I’ll take that into consideration 👍. I’ve never had an issue closing it with a strong push, did it break on you when you that? 🤔.

[@oveloz3]

Lobapixel No problem! And luckily no. That’s just what a dear photography instructor told me when I first began shooting analog (I was using a Nikon fm2 at that time and I know these cameras a much more sensitive). It’ll just wear down the lever over time.

[@redubnews]

That's exactly I was looking for. I've been diggin the youtube trying to find the info about the 1000asa version, whether the 800iso would sit in the dial... Thanks

[@chiarademattia4021]

[@cristobal571]

Dope review man!! Im gonna end up buying one !! :)

[@Lobapixel]

Thanks you so much for the support 🙏📸. If you do get your hands on one definitely show me would love to see what you capture 🎞👍

[@voyagersquaremuzika]

Great ! I had the L35 AF2 model that is quite similar but this model is still better. The lenses are the same.With such cameras, it is not easy to achieve bokeh but this can be achieved if you shoot when it is not sunny or in some shady space. When the camera measures that there is not enough light it will automatically release the flash, then you with your hand keep the flash pressed down, then the camera opens the f stop to the maximum and if you focus on something that is about a meter away your subject remains sharp and what is behind becomes blurry or in the bokeh!

[@Lobapixel]

Thanks for the tip dude! I've always wanted to try the second version haha. Messing with the aperture on this camera is like a guessing game lol.

[@heliopijpe]

Thats crazy, how did you find out ?? xD

[@paulterl4563]

Get one dirty L af35 2 today, but how the flash work? How to pop it up.?? Thanx

[@markyhundreds]

best how to out there, thanks brother

[@Lobapixel]

No problem! Glad it helped you out! 👍

[@xoseanlife]

How do I get a picture on my computer I am hella confused coming from a digital camera

[@Lobapixel]

So film is developed and then after the film is dry you have the option of scanning your film on a flatbed scanner and then converting it into a jpeg file!

[@150nitrodude]

Awesome info my man!

[@Lobapixel]

Very glad that you got some value out of this video 👍💜📸

[@broodjepyro9387]

[@Lobapixel]

Thank you so much! I really appreciate it and hope that it taught you something new 🙏😊

[@victoryu6906]

Finally someone explain all of this in human language.

[@visualsofsamuel]

Is there an option to put flash on? Great video mate

[@microminstrel]

Trying to understand the 1-2 button slider sequence. Can you please elaborate on that?

[@Lobapixel]

So it’s basically for the film to go back into the canister. I believe the first button releases the lock from being attached to the film sprockets and 2 the camera reels in the film back into the canister for you 👍

[@_rmichaeltannn]

The photos are dope! Now i want one, would you also recommend this for taking landscape photography? Been wanting to try shooting film now. 😍

[@Lobapixel]

Thank you! 🙏. For landscape it would be nice because it’ll always be sharp unless it couldn’t focus for some reason lol! This is a great starter cam to start with if you can get it for cheap! Don’t spend more than $60 for it!

[@_rmichaeltannn]

@@Lobapixel do you happen to know where we could get this camera? 🤔

[@rizkaherdiani1268]

thanks for this great, enjoyable review! i just got mine but it only got to 400 iso tho, do you think it will achieve the same results as the ones that ranges until 1000 iso?

[@Lobapixel]

I really appreciate the feedback I’m glad you enjoyed it 🤘. It definitely will! I honestly don’t think I’ve used up to 1000 iso yet lol! Unless you shoot in low light situations. But you can achieve the same results on iso 400 for both versions 👍

[@cindycongstantia1852]

Its very helpful!! Thankyouu💕💕

[@Lobapixel]

No problem! I’m glad I helped 🙏😊

[@Camaro-it8ht]

Testing without a roll of film, does the film rewind function works or it has to have a film loaded? Asking because the film advance motor works after each shot without any film inside.

[@kimburbur1]

I JUST BOUGHT MINE TODAY at a thrift for 2 dollars yeehaw

[@Lobapixel]

Let me be the first to tell you that you’ve been blessed by the Film Gods 👏. I’m glad you got it for a steal! Now enjoy using it 👍

[@dominikasuchanska9813]

Hi guys, just got this camera. First of all thank you for sharing the ISO dial. I thought my camera was broken. A very dumb question so please don’t judge. I’ve got a Kodak 200iso film so I have set the ISO to 200. Is this correct? Do I change the iso at any point for example if it’s super bright or dark outside? Thank you so much. 😊

[@enjoythedivision6]

my grandpa just give me this camera, seems so sick!!

[@Lobapixel]

Nice! Your grandpa is the man! Hope you enjoy this camera 🤘📸

[@victorvannatter312]

Good video. I just picked one of these up for $5 at a thrift store. A question as I'm used to MF mechanical SLRs. How does the auto focus work? How do you use the sliding needle with the different objects in the viewfinder? How do you know if you're too close to your subject?

[@Lobapixel]

I’m happy and jealous that you got it for $5!!! Congrats! ✨🙏. The focusing is literally the basic 2 people for portrait and mountain for landscape, it’s kind of just experimentation because you can sometimes do some close up shots and it’ll not be in focus sometimes! Big downside, but that’s the challenge when it comes to point and shoot cams 👍. It’s a lot of practice and failure because you won’t know until you see your shots lol

[@jolenegan]

i have this camera in my hands as i'm watching your video! was wondering if it's possible to run without batteries, but by the looks of it, it does not. time to go out for batteries!

[@Lobapixel]

Easiest batteries to obtain! Really glad that it’s nit a difficult camera to start using 🙏👏

[@jolenegan]

@@Lobapixel thankfully, yes! unfortunately i’ve tested eight pairs of fresh batteries now and have ascertained that the one i have is broken. you’re lucky you still have yours!

[@Lobapixel]

Yeah! Be careful! Because I’ve bought this cam twice and the first time the contacs for the batteries were corroded 😡. So I had to send it back and get another one 🥲

[@jolenegan]

@@Lobapixel i might’ve been the one that corroded the battery contacts for my case, but thank you for the advise! loved the video!

[@Lobapixel]

Anytime! Hope that you get to figure out the corrosion issue! I’m just you can clean it and sometimes that can bring it back to life! Look up exactly what you might need and see if it can work 👍

[@mwmingram]

Brilliant. Very useful.

[@Lobapixel]

Thank you! Glad it helped 🙏👍

[@mmdlc3432]

I’m looking to buy a camera like this but I need some help in knowing where to look

[@Lobapixel]

Ebay or thrifting would be your best bet 👍

[@godoggo407]

Thanks great video. Just got one for my daughter for Xmas on ebay. Not working well. The battery compartment cover does not lock in place I think that is the issue. :(

[@assasinmaster113]

Does the UV filter affect the image quality?

[@zekemccallister6211]

Do you suggest keeping the Tiffen filter on while shooting ?

[@Lobapixel]

Sorry for the late response! But I would suggest keeping it on if you want to protect that juicy lens 😂. I think it’s made of glass and there is no replacement for it either! If it scratches then you’re screwed! Keep it on! It won’t make your pictures look any different, if anything it’ll make it look cleaner 😊👍.

[@kimberleybetancourt321]

How do you take out the flash plssss mines been giving me issues

[@shanaiseling]

Hi! I found one but it’s the 400iso version. Is it the same as the 1000iso version? Does it really matter if it isn’t the 1000iso version? When will I need to use 400-1000iso? Sorry, I’m a beginner! Still new to this. Thank you :)

[@Lobapixel]

I honestly think the 1000 iso version is just worth more and cost more because it’s more valuable because it’s harder to find, but in my opinion I don’t think you need it. I don’t think I’ve ever used it lol. I’ve only gone up to 800 iso! I still think the 400 iso version works great it just depends on what you shoot. If you shoot a lot at night then I would go for the 1000 iso version. If not for for the 400 iso version 👍

[@lookintok]

Question if you have any 800 iso film what’s the best setting for it? Do I stop it at 1000?

[@koualakim9975]

your photos are amazing :)

[@Lobapixel]

Thank you very much! I really appreciate that 🎞🤘

[@SimonRobeyns]

for my on/off switch it doesnt seem to click and feels a bit loose is this the same for everyone?

[@pbugabuga]

Great video! Do all point and shoot's viewfinders show the actual framing that the lens will capture, or just show literally what's behind the viewfinder?

[@treseonline]

Can you take a picture without the flash on?

[@Lobapixel]

Yes! You just have to hold the flash down with your finger 👌

[@RunInStilettos]

Hi! Do you have any idea why my photos turned out mostly blurry? All except maybe 2? :(

[@Lobapixel]

🤔 it could be so many things! Maybe there’s not enough light and that can make the shutter speed lower and if you’re not still it can come out blurry! Or maybe the iso is low also?

[@shuttermar2132]

Wondering if you will ever see this and sorry for the novice question (new to film) but I used a 36 exposure film roll on this camera (just bought it) and noticed I can’t go past 24 exposures, is this camera only capable of using 24 exposures or am I high? Thank you

[@zoeyrenee815]

I have the Nikon teletouch 300 AF camera (35 mm) and im super beginner and was having issues with the camera and am trying to figure out how to use it. there is not alot of information on it in terms of how to insert its film, and how to use its features. its different than yours but was wondering if you know about this camera in terms of how to use it!

[@Lobapixel]

Damn! Unfortunately I don’t know that much about that camera! Hopefully you didn’t spend too much on it 😳. But if it’s a basic point and shoot then the back should have some instructions on how to put the film inside once you open it with the lever! But play with it first before shooting film on it! Like try to open all the doors of the camera, the back, battery door, etc. test shoot it with out film if it lets you. If it doesn’t let you shoot it without film then you could try and use one roll of film to experiment with! That’s probably the best advice I can give because I don’t know that much about that camera! Also maybe look for older versions or a newer version of the camera to see if it has similarities! Maybe it’ll be easier to figure out like that too! Hope this helps 👍

[@zoeyrenee815]

@@Lobapixel ended up returning it bc had a mechanical problem! was overpriced anyways LOL

[@Lobapixel]

Oof! I’m glad! Keep searching in thrift stores and maybe you’ll find something even better 👍

[@shelbychiminello1160]

I’ve been looking at getting a film camera for a while now and was looking into this one. Do you think this is a good film camera to start out with? I was looking at a few other old Nikon cameras but wasn’t sure which one to get! Great video btw!

[@Lobapixel]

It’s a great camera to start of with for sure if you can get it at an amazing price! It goes from $80-$120 in great condition! If you’re starting off I wouldn’t want you to spend so much money, but instead go to local flea markets or garage sales and try to find random point and shoots to experiment with 👍. People in the comments section of this vid have gotten this cam for $2-$10 which is pure luck! If you find a cheap point and shoot before buying it I would go on KZbin to see if there are any videos on it to see what type of images you can possibly get! The nikonl35 is an amazing camera, but way overpriced in my opinion 🤷‍♂️. I really appreciate the love and feedback 💜🙏

[@mr-vet]

Do you have to have film in the camera for the flash to pop up?

[@ellenchang7116]

Did you ever have issues with Autofocus in this camera? I developed my first roll on this and most of it was blurry, not sure if it's a hardware problem or not...

[@Lobapixel]

Sometimes it can be out of focus! But if every single shot you did came out blurry then it could be a hardware problem? Or maybe you we’re shooting at a very low film speed like 100 iso? But focus is not perfect on this camera sometimes it can be out of focus and it’ll focus on something behind the subject or even focus on the subject, but won’t be as sharp as it should too 👍

[@ellenchang7116]

@@Lobapixel gotcha, I was using an expired film so running it at 100 iso so hopefully that was the issue, thank you!

[@Lobapixel]

100 iso is pretty low if you don’t have enough light, so naturally the camera would try to auto expose and choose the best settings and it will automatically bring down the shutter speed to a lower shutter causing it to be blurry 👍

[@anttiheik]

Great review and overview! Hey do you know if there is an auto exposure (and auto focus) lock on the camera when you half press the shutter button? So that you could for example take a meter reading from the shadows and then recompose and fire the shutter.

[@Lobapixel]

Thank you so much! I really appreciate the love 🙏. I feel like this is something I’ve tried experimenting with and in the end result it just gave me a good exposure overall. I think it does work, but in the end it just gives you an image that’s not over or under exposed. I’ve tried focusing on the shadows before, half press and recompose my shot and I feel like it would’ve turned out the same even without doing all of that lol. I’m going to try it again the next time I shoot with it and see what comes up! Have you done it? 😊👍

[@anttiheik]

Jordan Lobaton alright good to hear! I don't have this camera yet but I'm getting my first point and shoot so that I don't have to carry an external light meter everywhere with me as I do with my Canon FTb and Canonet QL-17 G-III. Great cameras but the FTb is all manual and the Canonet only has shutter priority auto mode so I haven't really used it. For everyday carry I just want something simpler to use so this could be a potential winner for me.

[@Lobapixel]

The Canonet QL looks like such a fun camera to play with! I know it's shutter it super silent giving you the ability to become a stealthy ninja lmao. The nikon l35af is small, compact, silent, and just does what you need it to do! Which is take photos :)

[@lucigzz]

What's the difference between the AF model vs the AD? The AD is significantly cheaper, but want to know which one is better?

[@Lobapixel]

Honestly any of these two versions are really great if you can get them for a cheap price! They both are clean and easy to use cameras! But the only difference would be that the AD has a different back which give you the option to set a date! I feel like that’s the only main difference and also the iso for the AF can go up to 1000 and I think the AD goes up to 400 only. But whatever you can get your hands on will do just fine 👍

[@Fourbars26]

Great review! I have a question! Does it fire when film is not attached? :)

[@Lobapixel]

I don’t think it does! I believe it will be able to shoot once the film is in! 👍

[@Fourbars26]

Thanks man!

[@florasmz]

is there a way to shoot without the flash? like longer exposure?

[@Lobapixel]

There might be a way, but it might be a little difficult lol. Camera needs to be on a tripod, you might have to cover the light meter, I would try one shot with the light meter covered and once with it uncovered. Then you might have to tape down the flash because it will pop up automatically because the camera reads that it needs more light to expose correctly 😂. A bit of a process, but this is what I would do 👍

[@georgiamorris1004]

hey im having a problem with turning self timer off with my recently purchased l35af Nikon. I just opened the package and it isn't taking photos straight off. any help would be much appreciated

[@dhandiegar]

How to rewind for this camera, my nikon l35af can’t rewind if there isn’t a film?

[@vangstr]

Really good camera. I sold off 5 really good condition ones. Then I managed to acquire 2 more back in my possession. I guess I'm meant to always have one in my camera bag. Yeah...it's simply too good not to be without one. It accompanies my Leica M3 everywhere I go.

[@Lobapixel]

Teng Vang Damn you had 5? That’s crazy! You were the NikonL35AF king lol. It’s definitely a great light weight travel cam you can take anywhere with you 📸🎞. Nice combo with the m3 👍

[@vangstr]

Lobapixel I was anal at hoarding cameras that’s how I managed to get the initial 5. Selling them off brought in good monetary returns but shortly experienced sellers remorse. Because it was truly special at producing beautiful BW images - quite unique to this camera. Hence I had to have it back in my camera bag. Now I keep one as a shelf queen and the other in my camera bag.

[@Lobapixel]

Nice dude! I’m glad you’re enjoying this camera! Wish it was cheaper when I got it lol! Now it’s so expensive 🥺. Definite goal of mine to own an m6 one day! Currently enjoying my voigtlander r4m at the moment and it’s so good 😭🙏

[@xfilesmanson]

I found one at Goodwill. How do I turn it on?

[@Lobapixel]

Double aa batteries? Watch the tutorial again? It’s legit a switch that says on/off at the top 🤔

[@shawnell316]

I really wanna get my hands on one

[@Lobapixel]

Get one dude! Lurk hard on eBay! Or look around some thrift stores. Maybe you’ll find something even better 🙏😊

[@paul8914]

How did you expose that night shot? Pushed the film?

[@Lobapixel]

Paul Michael James I’m a little confused! I went through the shots and I don’t think I have a night shot in here 😳. Time stamp it so I can help you out 👍

[@paul8914]

@@Lobapixel 9:19. We can see your shadow on the ground. Maybe you used a flash??

[@Lobapixel]

No flash at all! It was really harsh lighting that day 👍. It was probably 1pm when the sun was almost at its highest point 😊👍

[@raulceron8713]

What’s up bro I have the same camera I used portra 400 and all my shots came out really blueish green. Have you experienced that before with the same film?

[@Lobapixel]

I honestly never have! The only things I could think that might be wrong is thy the film could be expired? 🤔. OR! The way the film was processed, maybe somebody messed up on that 😳. Usually if it’s a camera issue shots would come out all black or all white from my past experiences 🤔

[@raulceron8713]

Lobapixel the film was definitely brand new and I guess it could be developing error considering I developed it lol.... I’ve looked up other possible reasons and I’m pretty sure it’s the way I’m scanning it. I’m using the lomography phone scanner. Essentially just a taking a picture with my phone of the film.

[@funkysound]

What a good fair price for this Camara?

[@Lobapixel]

Honestly anything less than $60, but it's going to be tough to find it at that price lol

[@tylertreser1]

Great video. thanks!

[@Lobapixel]

Thank you so much! I really appreciate the love 📸🙏💜

[@harleymay966]

how do you get the battery cover off of the L35AD?

[@Lobapixel]

I believe it’s the same as this cam! It has a plastic cover at the bottom where the batteries go 🙏🖤

[@RemixMonkeyPS3]

How do you test this item?

[@Lobapixel]

Batteries? 🤔 double aa 👍

[@dillonmentzer9377]

So how do you get the photos to your device ? This was very helpful by the way !

[@Lobapixel]

Thank you! I’m really glad that you learned something from it 🙏. So to get the photos onto my phone I use a website called thedarkroom.com 🎞. You make an account, send your film, they scan it for you, and then save it onto your phone! It’s really that simple 🤘🎞. Their Instagram is @thedarkroomlab 🎞. Hope this helps!

[@dillonmentzer9377]

Jordan Lobaton thank you so much !

[@evanlionheartedlove]

I just got mine and was testing the functions without film. There isn't any motor whirring/rewind sound when I test the rewind function sans film and the counter doesn't return to S unless I open the back cover. Is that what yours does too? (:

[@Lobapixel]

It’ll only start working properly when film is put in and taken out 👍. But I know that you can shoot without film and with batteries the shutter count will move up. When you open the back it’ll go back to “S”. You can try and press the buttons on the bottom “1 and 2” but I don’t think it’ll fully rewind like it does when there’s film inside. Hope this helps! Try this out and let me know 👍

[@malucantanhede123]

what about the flash? what’s your view on it?

[@Lobapixel]

I think the flash is great for an indoor situation! Also great for like little hangouts with friends too! Overall I use it when it’s to dark! It can come in clutch lol 👍📸

[@ottokonkarikoski3467]

mine is like beyond hard to move (ISO) meter i can only move it from 400 to 1000 but cant get lower, what should I do?

[@Lobapixel]

🤔. I know for a fact that it’s hard to move! Have you tried to really force it to 100? Because it almost feels like you’re going to break it, that’s how hard it is to move! Now I know there are two versions on this camera, the first one is iso 100-400 and the second version is 100-1000. It’s really hard to move, but if you feel like it’s stuck and not moving anywhere I would try to find someone who can fix it or try finding another on online. I hope this helps 😊👍

[@tamyahussain]

My shutter button is stuck? Like it doesn’t press. Any ideas?

[@aroncuevas6518]

One more question bro, does this have a timer setting on it? It takes a while for the photo to actually snap

[@Lobapixel]

Yes there’s a self timer that goes for about 10 sec! You might have it switched on by mistake, if it’s flashing red it’s because you might have it on the self timer if not then maybe put some new batteries in it 👍

[@stephaniemartinez5565]

Do you know what the difference is between a Nikon L35AF and a L35AD?

[@Lobapixel]

The price is a big difference! But when it comes to the actual camera is just the hype I think! The AD is still awesome, honestly whatever you can get for cheap will be good enough! I believe the AD is a newer version and the AF is an older version!

[@Meow91diditforthelolz]

What kind of film do you need to put in with this camera?

[@Lobapixel]

35mm film 👍

[@Meow91diditforthelolz]

@@Lobapixel Is a Kodak Gold 200 film fine? And do you scan your photos or do you develop it physically?
