Would like to see the results from a roll of 100 speed film though before I make a final judgement on it. The controls take some getting used to, but it takes decent photos. Yesterday I picked up a Samsung Maxima Zoom 105Ti for two bucks, and it had a fairly charged battery in it, so I ran by the CVS to pick up a roll of 400 color, and shot that for World Photography Day (see 'Pointed and Shot', page six). I've checked out quite a few cameras at the thrifts, so there must have been a glaringly obvious problem with it for me to pass up a Nikon. I saw an 元5AF one day, and for the life of me, I don't know why I didn't buy it. More than anything else, I was surprised by the heft of this camera and the quiet film advance.I stop in Goodwill many times a week, as there are seven of them in the county, and one more just north of here in the next county. Mine was just over 4 dollars with tax, and seems to work like a charm. If you don't mind the recommendation, keep your eyes on the charity and thrift shops for one of these beauties. A UV/Haze for b&w, and a Skylight 1A for color. But it's a good idea to keep a filter on the camera at all times. I use mostly a Yellow K2 filter when shooting b&w, but if I really want some contrast, and nice dark silouettes, I'll mount up a Red 25A.
NIKON L35 AF FILTER SIZE SERIES
They seem to be few and far between, so I got myself a 48mm-Series VII adapter, seeing as I already had a set of the Series filters.
Launched in 1983 as a responce to the already established Canon models, it soon earned a reputation as being one of the finest compact cameras to.
I've been meaning to get one of the 元5AF variants, but for now I have a Canon AF35ML that, unfortunately, takes 48mm filters. Its funny how items seen as fresh, innovative and desirable at their launch soon fade into obscurity and into the junk shops. And with the meter window being within the confines of the filter ring, you don't have to worry about compensation factors, just film speed (certain filters will cut down on the amount of light tranmission, so you have to match the film speed to the situation). Filters are great for when you are shooting b&w film, as they add contrast to make certain things stand out, like the clouds in a blue sky (Yellow or Red filter). If I recall, you are talking about 46mm filter size for the 元5AF.
