still a 35mm f3.5? Or is that one of the zoom T*s? Either way, for $3+ you're WAY ahead of the game!

AF fixed focus lens.....Yashica T5D with data back and also waist viewfinder, Carl Zeiss T* Tessar 3.5/35...with case, all in excellent condition.
Dunno why they are reaching up to £120 on Ebay (on completed listings) as the other P&S that I have e.g. Canon, Nikon, Minolta, Konica give very good results.

Heck yeah, L35AF love! I think it's still one of the undiscovered gems on eBay... an awesome quirky (and very 80s) camera with a very nice lens whose price hasn't been jacked up by the Lomo crowd. I've got two, one of the early models and one of the late (the only difference being that the late model has a max ISO setting of 1000, versus 400).

It has a nice 2.8 Nikon lens- not Nikkor, but who cares since it takes nice pictures?

According to Nikon it is a very good Nikkor design. 5 element Sonnar pattern. The designers got very pi??ed off with people dismissing it as only a Nikon.

I have a Nikon L35 AF it's a very fine all metal compact with a good lens, the only issue I have with it is the automatic flash in low light conditions pops up of it's own volition and flashes at the most inopportune moments.

Awesome camera. It's perfect for children. I used mine for such till strange mechanical shutter lock out issues stopped it from functioning.

I just wish it had some mechanism to stop the flash pooping up and flashing at the most inopportune moments
