Nikon One Touch (L35AF2)
The Nikon One Touch, or L35AF2, followed the original L35AF with many similarities, but also a few key differences that were in keeping with the trend of simplification that was going on in the industry at the time. I bought this one on ebay, and cleaned it up a bit. Everything was working well except for the flash which doesn't want to pop up or fire, but I'm not a big fan of using built-in flash on compacts anyway, so no big deal for me there.
LIKES: It's all about the lens! With this "sequel" to the original L35AF, Nikon took away a few nice features found on the original (see dislikes), so other than the lens, I'd say I like the general build quality and feel of the camera. But the lens is the centerpiece for sure - super sharp (very likely the same lens used in the L35AF).
DISLIKES: Nikon took away two very nice features of the original L35AF - the One Touch does not allow for screw on filters and it doesn't have the backlight compensation slider switch on the side of the lens. If you don't use those two features anyway, then this is an exception point'n'shoot film camera and might be a keeper for you.
