Nikon One Touch (L35AF3) 35mm camera w/ case (serial 3214857) | film🎞tested

The later Nikon One Touch (aka L35AF3) is the final iteration of our all-time favourite series of 35mm point-and-shoots. This camera's lens (35mm f/2.8, four elements in three groups) is very sharp. It differs from the earlier AF2 version by permitting a closer minimum focus distance, adding a flash cancel button, and by the use of a lithium battery.

Battery info

The camera is powered by a CRP2 lithium battery (available as an option). 

Condition notes

The camera and lens are in excellent functional condition and very good cosmetic condition (see photos). The most noteworthy cosmetic flaw is a scuff on the upper right side of the camera that scratched part of the 'N' in Nikon and 'O' in One Touch. We film-tested the camera and it delivered excellent results. In our testing, the camera produced very sharp images with excellent contrast and accurate auto-focus. The included Nikon case show some signs of wear (see photo).

Film-test note

There's a mistake on the clapperboard: We used MQ (D-76) as the developer not Acufine.
