Point and Shoot AF Classics - post yours

I love the Nikon 35Ti. Really sharp 35/2.8 lens, very sturdy construction, and lovely analog controls.

And here is a picture from this camera (Ilford XP2 400, Costco scan)

I'm not sure that this is a "classic" per se, but it's my new favorite walk-around camera. Just in from Hong Kong yesterday! :) This is the older version with the 38 f/2.6 lens. Wish it had the custom functions of the newer Klasse S, but I still like it.

I've got the Rollei version of that camera, the AFM35. I've recently put my first film through it and I was stunned by the quality. The rich color and saturation levels outdo every other P&S I've owned. Dare I say that it beats my GR1v, which was the camera that convinced me to part with my 35ti, t2, t3, TC-1 and minilux. Once upon a time I had an obsession with owning every high end P&S and at one time I actually did. But the GR1v was the one I always took out with me and the others were just collecting dust. I'm going to take both the GR1v and AFM35 out to 'fight it out'. I already suspect the GR1v's crown is about to be transferred.

I'm sure you'll love that Klasse. Nearly went for one myself but the AFM35 is the same apart from a diiferent coating on the lens. Don't think it makes any difference, but the AFM was a great price and I went for it.
 
Great little camera. They seem to be relatively hard to find. How's the overall performance in your opinion??

Pretty good actually.
AF seems at least as fast as on the stylus and the 32mm gives an interesting FOV, with good sharpness.
Nevertheless I'm going to sell it, as I now have the Contax TVS and I decided to have only one camera of each kind :D
 
Great thread, everyone! Nice to see that I'm not the only one lurking at the thrift shops and lusting over these old P&S cameras.

I'll be posting some photos of my P&S collection soon.
 
Since no one else has posted the Milolta Hi-Matic AF2, one of the prettiest of the early AF cameras, I suppose that I must, even though I sold this example to anothe RFF member:
