Finally got around to shooting this camera after finding it in a junk store for $5 with the case. It was a little dirty, but cleaned up nicely. A couple of times in the roll there was some run-on with the frame spacing, but it wasn't anything that couldn't be rectified with some judicious cropping. I see now why most folks rave about this camera, as the 35mm lens is superb for a P&S. And I can use filters, too!
Photos are of a two block stretch of Salem Avenue in Roanoke, VA, where there has been a lot of work going on rehabing old warehouses and the like. Film used was Kodak Ultramax 400, and was commercially developed and scanned at PhotoUSA in Roanoke.

I loved that little camera. It was recommended to me by a New York Times photographer in the early 1980's.

Wow, those shots look similar to the Minox photos others have posted. Very sharp. Great IQ for a camera at any price, but for a $5 one you seem to have found the top dog.
There's a nice one on eBay with a cute little hood for....$179! Maybe it's a really good hood.

Steve, would that be the famous "rare, stealth Nikon L35AF"?

Does it say Leica on the hood?

Are both L35AF 1 and 2 silent? I see there is a L35AF 3 also.Steve, would that be the famous "rare, stealth Nikon L35AF"?

Silent? Not the one I have... (original model). Let's just say the asking price is not the only indicator that this ebay seller is out of touch with reality.
I could be persuaded to sell mine as it just doesn't get used much. Not trying to cheat RFF out of the ad fee so it would be through the classifieds.
