Hey all! Just a quick video comparing the L35AF & MJU ii. Long story short, The L35AF is sharper, but the half press on the shutter isn't defined enough. If it was, I would probably keep this and use it a lot! Hope y'all enjoyed the video!

So which camera or film do you prefer? And which photo was your favorite? (Or did you not like any and all of them were horrible.... LOL) Comment down below =) I really liked the L35AF...

@JIMBO95 4 года назад

Nice review. I own both cameras. I believe the MJU lens is better. Now, is it worth the price tag? I'd say value wise the Nikon is great and will do the job just fine. You should've used the same film stock for a proper comparison.

@81springbrook96 4 года назад

Yea it was my first time comparing cameras and I thought it would be nice to see how different film looked side by side.

@random_explorer3009 4 года назад

I agree pls use the same film.. anyway great review and photos

@TheDude4077 4 года назад

I've also worked with both, it's really a matter of what you want your camera to be best at. The Nikon has great image quality and just ok build quality (although I will say these things are not super reliable and a trip to the repair shop is a bit of an inevitably), and the Olympus has great build quality and just ok image quality. Personally I use point and shoots as an everyday carry type camera so the build quality aspect is super important and I prefer the Olympus for that reason. Both are great cameras though, just wish the Nikon was sturdier and less issue-prone.

@81springbrook96 4 года назад

I would say they are both sturdy enough for everyday use. But I guess everyone‘s day is different. 🤷

@ohjajohh 3 года назад

I always love seeing camera/lens comparison video's. Well done!

@81springbrook96 3 года назад

what more comparison would you like to see?

@FabrizioZago 4 года назад

The Nikon is definitely sharper but for the photos it's difficult to say which ones I like more. Some are better with a film stock, some are better with the other film even if they're slightly less sharp, in my opinion.

@81springbrook96 4 года назад

Hence no perfect camera right? Haha

@giangboo 7 месяцев назад

The Olympus mju is sharper by miles. Exhibit A: 2:29 you can see individual holes of the red bench behind the guy's back in the Mju, whereas in the Nikon it's a muddy mess. Exhibit B: 2:09 the yellow strip on the left shows clear outlines of every single brick in the Mju whereas in the Nikon it's more like a solid yellow color strip.

@JP1050x 4 года назад

Great video..thanks for the comparison! .... Btw, you have a L35AF2, which is a downgrade from the original L35AF.

@81springbrook96 4 года назад

Yea. The original does seem better. Like many other things...

@caldera878 4 года назад

Ridiculous prices they charge for the Olympus nowadays. I can see this recession potentially reducing the price of them and all analogue photography gear.

@81springbrook96 4 года назад

Yeah I got it for around hkd600 (2010 maybe) but now it's hkd1200 I see some local online places

@alexbonarski1512 2 года назад

This is af2 version and films are different too so you’re not comparing lenses using two different films because they have different grain and color saturation. The photos look nice.

@81springbrook96 2 года назад

Yeah, will definitely try with same film next time. Thanks for the comment!

@aperturecollect Год назад

My experience was quite similar with both of them. I kept them both.

@csdsa Год назад

Great video!! I’d love to see you do a comparison of the Pentax PC35AFM to either the mju or the Nikon! I got one this winter as a nice alternative to the mju. Really happy w how it performed - mainly used it in daylight but haven’t gotten to do much in lower light settings just yet!

@ruffprophetproductions 4 года назад

I got a good deal on this exact Nikon, from the thrift store. Then the film counter stopped working so I tried to fix it myself... needless to say it is sitting in the drawer broken now 🙃

@81springbrook96 4 года назад

I see people selling it for "parts" on eBay for at least USD10 , so at least its not total junk yet. lol

@theundefinedphotographer 4 года назад

Great comparison and thanks for introducing us to a lesser known point and shoot! The Nikon is sharper, but the Olympus seems to be a bit more brighter/overexposed. It might also because of the difference in film stocks. In any case, great work! I was in HK visiting family a couple of years ago, but that was before I got into film. Would love to visit again. It's definitely a photographer's playground

@81springbrook96 4 года назад

In times like this, we can only turn to lesser known cameras cuz everything is so expensive... Thanks for liking HK, it's definitely an interesting city.

How do you define "100% crop" in a film based picture?

just the 100% crop on my scans :)

@sebcastilho 4 года назад

Does the Nikon miss focus much? My MJU II misses like 10-20% of the time

@81springbrook96 4 года назад

The MJU ii definately misses focus more because the Nikon theres a needle in the vf that shows the focus distance, so u can somewhat double check

@sebcastilho 4 года назад

@@81springbrook96 I just read that there's no button to disable the flash and you have to actually keep hold of the flash from popping up. Does this get annoying?

@81springbrook96 4 года назад

@@sebcastilho I think it's not the worst design. Since you know when the flash pops up and you can just hold on down until you release the shutter. But I didn't find it to trigger too often during broad day light. Unlike the mjuii ......

Well done Chuck. The Nikon looks way sharper although both are good cameras. Would like to see you shoot more with the Nikon maybe a full review on it would be cool. I liked the bridge photos on minute 3 (I think). Keep it up!

@81springbrook96 4 года назад

Yeah its pretty sharp and definitely not a lot of people are jumping on it so the price is still reasonable. I like the bridge photo too haha. I should make a poll...haha to see which is everyone's fav.

@JesusMartinezCreates 4 года назад

Great video man! Where are you from? You don't like manual camera setups? I had a nikon n2020, the AF was most of the time off but being that it was film it still looked amazing.

@81springbrook96 4 года назад

I guess there's a time for manual shooting. I kind of want something simple to ease my way back to film, don't really want to fuss with settings. But maybe in a few weeks, I'll start to look at more manual setups actually, because I find myself slowing down and taking my time for each shot. And kind of tired missing focus some of the times. Oh, from Hong Kong, but I studied in Toronto.

Don't drop either one of them, use the camera strap and be careful with them. They are not being made any more 😀

@@81springbrook96 I have. Painful to mess up a good camera and I do use the "straps". I think I fumbled pulling it out of my pocket too hurriedly for a shot. If you drop the Olympus, be sure to squeeze it back together. Mine separated and I didn't notice it right away.

@randallstewart175 3 года назад

The L35AF has a lens which is shared by several of Nikon's more expensive cameras and is solidly built. The quality of the Oly is basically that of a disposable camera plus autofocus, barely qualifies as a snapshot camera. No comparison at all, notwithstanding the ridiculous hype attaches to the Oly.

@81springbrook96 3 года назад

hey! thanks for commenting! I just posted a new video, drop by when u have time :) and yes, the mjuii is def too hyped up.
