Street Photography on Film (Nikon L35AF + Cinestill 800T) 

I love your honesty, capturing the good and the bad and not being afraid to show them both. Great little camera, interesting choice of film and love the look. Thank you, deffo would love to see more.

I see your progression and it's beautiful and inspiring to see you grow. Thank you!

Love this new style of video with the commentary! I haven't seen this before and it's super informative. Also just wanna say, your channel inspired me to start my own and upload my first pov street video 🙏 Thanks for your videos, always super well done

More! This was very relaxing yet I learned soo much. Keep up the great work!

Great shots and nice POV going on! Got my first Nikon L35AF two years ago and quickly fell for the sharp lens and the contrast that it gives me. So nice, I bought it thrice and some. The sonnar designed lens is really good; doesn't have the NIKKOR labeling on it but it was definitely designed by "top notch" engineers at Nikon. It's been crazy seeing the prices on these soar in that time.

definitely make another video using this camera !! I loved this episode !!

NYC street photography inspiration we all need. Thank you! It's been real difficult this year.

Loved this video style, so relaxing and great to see the process of shooting street photography. First video I've seen from you and now I'm subscribed.

Love your vids! Watched all of them! Great contents and learning~

Love your energy. It’s so relaxing!

really enjoyed seeing someone shoot cinestill in the day, rather than the typical night style photos

I shoot with my l35af about 75% of the time, I love it. It never fails to impress and get me what I need. Post more videos like this!

I just bought my own cheap film camera and I have the Ilford BNW film in it! I’m so excited to see how they will turn out, still have a lot shots left and I’m so inspired by the way you take your pictures!!

Very nice format with the commentary, keep up the good works man

Gotta say, I've never seen Cinestill 800T shot during the day, but dang it looks great! Awesome video, keep up the great work 👍

Love the videos with the added commentary

great video! the one with the little kids is my favorite 🤗

One thing I love is how quiet the shutter is... like no one is responding/reacting, and idk, I just love that little detail in the manufacturing of it!

I bought the L35AF2 not so long ago and I have to say it’s by far the most joy you can get specially for the price you are paying...& You are totally right about the camera “character”...it’s a unique camera ☺️

Definitely Bro this vid was dope need more of this for my soul. Fellow street shooter out here in Las Vegas.

I’m in love with this camera . And love you’re video keep it up !

Fab video, lol at the shutter sound on the stills hehe, but the L35AF makes that really funky sound 😁👍

Greatest point and shoot ever for me. I have 3 and just bought another on eBay. I mostly shoot b&w as that's my favorite. But one is for color and the new one will be rotated in once in awhile but mostly will keep for a spare. You didnt mention the 46mm filter threads or the 2 stop backlight compensation switch next to lens. Also if you aim the middle spot on your focus area with the shutter button half pressed it will hold focus and exposure while you move it for a better composition, then shoot ! You'll miss a lot less and be much happier ! Thanks for the video of my favorite ! LarryMac

That is a great little camera ( the Nikon 35 AF2 )although ancient. I was a photographic salesman at Sydney, Australia's biggest camera store in the 80s and I sold hundreds, well maybe not hundreds but scores of that particular camera ! Nikon , in my opinion was the top camera brand at the time.They , along with Minolta had the best lenses. Looking at your photos it seems to me that you've done some color editing on your computer. The colors look more saturated than you'd usually get from 35mm print film.These look more like Kodachrome 64 (or 25) transparencies.Or Fujichrome 50 or 100. It's interesting that everyone calls film measurement of light ISO. these days.Back in the day it was usually called ASA. Great videos ! I've recently discovered you and subscribed to your channel. 📷🎙 I'd certainly like to see more of your photos shot with your Nikon . Nice to see people using film. It's a lot harder to get great photos on film compared to digital.On a roll of film you have 36 or 7 photos. Shooting digitally one can take literally thousands of shots, and by the law of averages you must get a few great pictures and delete the other few thousand. Shooting with film requires more skill to get great results. Back in pre digital days I would be really happy to get 4 or 5 great shots from a roll of 36. That's part of the reason I was a camera salesman...to get discount on film , D and P, and cameras , lenses etc. And I could be paid to talk photography all day long...

beautiful video with relaxing explannation!! thanks for sharing!

Your video footage in your office/home in the beginning is very good. Also I believe half pressing the shutter release locks the focus. So you can get something in focus that isn't in the middle of the frame

Great video fayzal as always .

Love this series so much

Found my mom's Nikon L35AF. It's still in pretty good condition. I'm gonna give it a go this weekend.

This camera can make any blue sky looks very vivid. Using just 2xAA batteries is icing on the cake.

I remember repairing these back in the day. They were popular cameras, competing with the Olympus Af-1, AFL and Pentax PC35. I don't remember the shutter making that sound, though... I like the look of the Cinestill film

You're absolutely right about it being uncommon to shoot cinestill 800t in daylight but, man does it look great in these photos you took. And really like that nikon

Nice photos. Would like to see a comparison with other films to see its own “look” as you mentioned :)

I have the Canon take on this camera, constantly impresses me with the quality of image and it has certainly captured some of my favourite frames. Even when it does miss focus it sometimes it creates magic!

loving the commentary! should do a q&a or something 😼

I've had an L35AF2 and a One Touch 200 for a few years and find them very enjoyable to shoot with.

Just found one of these in my Grandad's attic, mint condition. Can't wait to use!

I just purchased this exact camera and I’m stoked to finally take pictures on it

I actually loved that photo where the strap is in the way because it accentuates the identical dress/look of the three men it was blocking.

just picked up the newest version of that camera (AF3 i think). haven't tested it with film yet, very excited! you forgot to mention how you can keep your finger held down on the shutter button after taking a photo to avoid your subject hearing the louuuddd film wind hahah

More L35AF please! Love that camera. Good shots!

Really surprised more people haven't mentioned this but it looks like you shot that roll at ISO 640 as the L35 goes from 400 to 500 to 640 then 1000, Great results tho regardless, I have always wanted to see cin800t shot at 640 with this camera. :)

hello Faizal! loved this camera and the video! would love to see you put this camera into action more! :)

all of these photos are dope bro, especially the one at 8:50 . I might have to get me one of those Nikons.

Love the palace beanie

good vid man nice photos!

nice vid man, enjoyed seeing the city with some life again and great to see Cinestill used during day... but as a street camera, that L35AF prolly not my first choice as they have to be the loudest camera ever!!!!

You ever find the button sticks abit? the cheap lens hood is a good addition just because it looks cool. 800 is good for the daytime dark tones

happy thanksgiving everyone 🙏🏽 also shot at 7:45 is 🔥

I learned on digital, made it so easy, but recently switched to film. can't begin to explain how it changed my skills.

Awesome video, man!

Just bought this camera on eBay, found a mint on a pretty good deal. Yout photos came out AMAZING, was wondering if you did a little editing on them to pop out the colors and stuff? Also, I'm travelling to NY in a couple of months so if this is how my photos could look with this camera, I'm thrilled af

Nice video and great to see the examples. Which are your favourite films for this camera?

Great photos. You know how to fill a frame

Killing it!

i love this camera it was my first film camera, got it just over a year ago too :)

Great camera. I was shocked at what came out of it when I used to own one

Sick shots.

I wanna see more everything this is my fav photo channel on youtube for sure 😎

Oooh! One of my favorite also that I ended up with two! LoL Before they started charging people a house and a car for them. smh 🤦🏿‍♂️ Solid Video, Keep working Brother, Hope we cross path on these NY streets in the near future. ✌🏿

Lots of great shots. I think I have one of these cameras sitting in my closet haha.

The commentary was great! You look different with that bennie on, bro!

That photo from the bus stop was nice, very dynamic. Mind sharing what strap are you using on the L35AF? Looks like it has a carabiner

Great work. What's your opinion on fuji dl300 for street photography?

Love your work man! I got myself a L35AD, and love the images, but Fazial quick question, if you don't mind, since you used a 800 iso film, what iso film speed did you set in the camera? Because it jumps from 400 to 1000 (as the manual says, it goes from 400, 500, 640, 1000), not sure what film speed should be chosen when shooting with it

Great video,would love to see you use Portra 400 in the Nikon !

amazing video, I´m from Peru and i would love to watch another video with a different film.. like portra 400 o kodak gold 200 pleaseee.. I´ve just bought this camera!!

I just picked up one of these cameras for free. Supposedly not working but I managed to get it to work. Keen to get out and explore!

Just scored the Nikon One Touch L35AF2 and ran a roll of expired color slide film through it to make sure it’s working. While doing that I stopped in to a fancy antique shop in Iowa City and they had the original L35AF you have for $300!!!

Hi Faizal! Big fan of yours and fellow half-rooted indonesian here! Just wanted to ask if there is any way to get your analog presets to work with Luminar 4, or if there are any plans to get some presets for it? Keep on rocking! Jan

Such an under rated channel!! Let’s hang the next time when you are in New York!

I just picked on up! Since there isn't a 800 marker on the ISO dial, what which of the two dots between 400 and 1000 did you use?

I think that picture with the chrome baloon might be in focus but there is a motion blur from not handling the camera steady.

Did you do any corrections in post? I'd have expected tungsten balanced film to look much more blue than this. The tones are really nice.

Hi Dealing with the colour balance on the L35af and tungsten film can you screw in a corrective filter, presume you used photoshop for colour correction?

i just got my hands on one of these but haven't had a chance to use it yet .

Damn, them photos SPICY

Love the strap at 38 seconds. Where can I get them?

Actually the missed focus on that balloon stroller photo at 5:55 might have been due to the reflective balloon itself. That point and shoot was hunting. Might have been in if the lady or stroller were centered instead. But still a great photo

Cinestill 800T is made from Kodak movie film stock originally rated at 500 ASA. I personally love over exposing it by rating it at 200 to 320. I was surprised to see you rate it at box speed during the day, but the results speak for themselves.

love the photo you took at 4:18

Great video, how you convert your photos from analogic to digital ? Thanks

Great video! Do you know how far up the iso goes?

Hey dude nice video. Do you have any idea why in my nikon l35af the flash pop out also in sunny light situation? i try to push down the flash my the camera doesn't shoot. I always need to shot 2 times to gettin a picture with no flash in. :/ maybe is just defective

I love NYC street photography.

Can you focus on a subject and then reframe while keeping the focus on the same object? (like any other modern camera)

you should try the smallest fully mechanical 35mm camera ever the Rollei 35s. its rarely reviewed, the latest video about it was more than 1 year ago.

Late to this one, but a random little thing with this camera is there's no 800 iso setting on the dial. The mark before 1000 is 640.

My favorite is nikon d3. It professional full frame dslr. In released in 2007. It huge tank it 51 focus point 11fps low light Batman. I put old dx lenses on my d3 the camera so good it make all my 10 lenses great.

Do you usually have to set the camera ISO to the same as the film ISO (800 for example)

Do you guys crop your film scans in 16:9? I'm just curious because I rarely see film scans cropped in that way.

Can you please do another video using another type of film with this camera like the porta 400

I like this cam me i have the AWAF model buy longtime now and working again :)

Do you ever use the wide lens that goes with the camera?

very good job please keep going

Very nice colors 👌👌

Mmm CineStill 800T is not associated with night photos because of 800 iso, but because it's light balanced to tunsgram lights (that's why it's T). Daylight photos likely produce colder tones and blueish tint. And because hipsters like to shoot gas station neon light with it for the light halation. It can be shot ad daytime too, but for a really expensive film I wouldn't recommend. CineStill has a 50d I think which is a daylight balanced film, if you really need that old-cine vibe I'd go for that in the daytime and keep 800T for either night shots or indoor artificial light shots

when shooting 800iso on this camera, did you set it at 640 iso or 1000 iso? the manual says there's not a setting for 800 iso. did you push/pull when you developed?

Oh man, i really want a camera like that.. But it got really expensive. right now Im shooting with an Olympus XA but Id love to have an autofocus camera

dope ass video. keep it coming.
