The Nikon l35af is such a great camera. I’ve had 4 Yashica T4s that I’ve thrifted and tested. Always ended up selling them because the images just don’t blow me away. I found a Nikon L35AF a couple months ago and ran a test roll. The images were amazing. Even in low light, the photos come out sharp and in focus. It never missed focus and you can tell when it does because it tells you where it’s focusing. Something the Yashica doesn’t.

I cannot comment on the Yashica T4 because I have never used one.

I normally shot with a Leica M6 with 21/35/90mm lenses. However, when I needed to shoot my M6 with only the 35mm lens in a hostile environment where the camera and lens were likely to get lost, damaged, or stolen, I used my Nikon L35AF instead.

The difference in image quality between my M6 and my L35AF was insignificant.

seeing this after purchasing a L35AF on eBay for my upcoming NY trip so excited to use it! great video photos shown got me hyped for my camera 📷

Great comparison! You helped me decide to bring my L35AF with me to an upcoming trip to Japan. I've been been wanting a T4 for a while, but the images look really similar between the two cameras. L35AF's are built really well internally, and are more serviceable than T4's. L35AF 4Lyfe.

Wow! I owned an L35AF back in 1985 when it was new. That camera introduced me into the interest in photography.

love this comparison and as you showed the photographs before your evaluation at the end I chose the Nikon too.

Great work, I would also pick the Nikon.
Can we talk about that man's voice and mic settings? Honey in my ears.

Great in-depth comparison video, with a (for me at least) surprising conclusion!🙌

very good review! straight to the point, no annoying parts. thank you

Wow! I did not expect this. The Nikon looks better in every picture. I completely agree with you! Thank you for the review!

Nice review man 👍👍👍

I still have 2 L35AFs and I have sold my Yashica.  It was good, but the Nikon was better.

May be I am in minority here and I take photos for living. But I do prefer pictures from the Yashica. More colour balance, Perfect contrast. May be it’s just me.
Great video nevertheless xx

i have the Nikon L35AF, it's a great camera but the flash can be finicky and take awhile to charge up for a photo. just bought a T4 so we'll see how it goes 🤪

both look great because you took made great compositions with them! my l35af died on me mid-roll literally like two weeks ago rip this makes me miss it even more hahah really nice comparison video!

I like the Nikon more.

More contrast and shadows on the yashica. I wonder how it would fair if the Nikon’s exposure was changed.

nice review, would have liked to see also how they perform with the flash in daylight/artficial light since heard the Nikon has a weak flash no idea about the Yashica though, in terms of size the Yashica is defo a more pocket friendly only costs 2-3 times more than the Nikon ..still undecided bcz of the flash issue

Nikon has a 2.8 lens!

PIKAICHI THE GOAT ❤
