A lot of Canon and Minolta auto exposure cameras from the 1970s used the practice of mounting the meter sensor inside the lens mount so that it would read through filters, as here. For B&W, filters do not track too well with exposure determined by through-filter metering. True accuracy would require adjusting the ISO per the assigned filter factor, but through the filter is a practical approximation. As for the lens, test's published when it was introduced to the market suggest that it just the 35mm 2.8 made for the Nikon F SLR, remounted into plastic. Nikon used this lens a lot in higher quality cameras, probably the same lens as the 35Ti less the later coating improvements.

By far my favorite point & shoot camera. Love the Sonnar design lens! As for street photography, you can actually use it. Press the shutter button, hold it and release it after you‘ve left the scene. Only now it makes its loud noises :)

Man, Robbie, for ten bucks I’d be havin one of those Nikons also. What a great find you had and some awesome photos you made. Great video.👍👍

Also, this camera is soo easy to take its housing apart. Much props to Nikon!

Been meaning to get back into photography for the longest time. I have this camera and can say it’s one of my faves

Placing the meter window inside the filter ring was pretty common among cameras of that era. The Olympus Trip 35 did it with a selenium meter.

That’s one camera I’ve always wanted. Had a Canon AF35 and I’m guessing it’s very similar. The railroad photo at the beginning reminded me of ‘Stand by Me’

Robbie. This video was Amazing. I love the style of your videos and the pictures even more. And I like how cringe you look early in the morning with a cigar and a point and shoot in the field. Awesome.
Also your glasses look really good in you.

Another camera having a similar light meter right under the lens is the Agfa Optima Sensor from the 1970s. But this camera doesn’t have AF. It has zone focus instead. And the film is manually advanced, what makes it very quiet. And due to its size it‘s very stealthy. It‘s a simple camera, but small and reliable. Perfect for streetphotography.

I bought one of these for my wife over 20 years ago. My wife lent it to my brother, who managed to break it. It powers up, winds, autofocuses, but doesn't trigger the shutter. I still have it. Lovely little camera.

This was my first film camera! Love it

[philkeegan]

Just brought my grandads camera who had it from new from my uncle to keep in the family. Looking forward to using it as a complete amateur

[Walitocamina]

Absolutely all right with you, incredible sharp lens. And besides i love its design, remenbering the 80’s!!

[mcutler]

Good to see you back in action. Great vid.

[grain_eyed_photography]

I have this!! Love it much. Shot it with Kodak Pro Image 100. Scrumptious results.

[kencarnley]

Used mine today. Impromptu visit to a car show so I grabbed my L35 af and a roll of Fuji color film.

[georgebakken]

Love your videos Robbie, great to follow along with you on your adventures

[mortenthesbl]

You are so right this is a beautiful camera. I have had a few die in me though but hey then you get to se the inside of it. Just be aware if you have charged the flash - it does give you a good shock! Saw it compared to the TI35 - its more plasticy and it makes noise - but it REALLY good!

[detroitgagt]

645 reference!? Damn I can’t wait to get mine now in the mail
Nice video
Salute

honestly, i would have been thinking the opposite. "why would you be shooting color film, you dummy." LOL! we already have way too many youtube "photographers" out there saturating the place with point and shoot color, we really dont need any more of that. Your choice to shoot black and white is perfect, and so so soooo much better than all the rest out there on youtube!
