Tale of two Nikon L35s

Does the Nikon One Touch aka L35AF2 have a filter?

Why, yes, it does. The L37 slip on.


The filter has a slot so you can still access the on/off switch. It's probably more stable than on/off switch that surrounds the shutter release on the original Nikon L35AF but I've always found its placement under the barrel quite odd.

I really like the Pikaichi and its variants. The one with the yellow filter is my main one. All others are backups.

If you've discovered the L35AF recently and want to get the most out of shooting it, check out some pointers on work arounds discussed on Flickr... like not having the flash go off or forcing the camera into a wider aperture.

This category of hacks I call 'behaviourial hacks' because what you're modifying is how you use it.

Another great hack: don't want someone to know you took a picture. Don't take your finger off the shutter release until you're out of earshot.

"Street shooters in this group will take a picture but not take their finger of the shutter until they are safely out of earshot as the film advance is the noisiest part of the sequence"
