Compare Nikon L35 AF and Nikon L35 AD3 In terms of Design
For myself, the holding feelings of both versions are good, like "an eight-ounce person's half-pound" person. Even though my hands often sweat, thanks to the grip of the camera, holding it steady for slow-speed shooting or fast operations isn't a big problem.
In version L35AF, the design is more retro, still a bit of the rangefinder of the old days - square. And with AD3, this machine has a more "futuristic" shape, as smooth as it came from one block. If you want to take photographs and want to be a photography accessory, L35AF generation 1 is a better choice.
Both of these warriors have a filter attachment thread (phi 46) to serve different purposes, but the AD3 version has the The lens cap is built-in on the camera body, this is very convenient if your purpose is simply to protect the lens.
However, Nikon AD3 The one bad point is that you need a small enough tool (toothpick, SIM stick, pen tip, screw head, etc.) to open the battery cover. Personally, I will always carry a SIM stick, so this isn't something to worry about.
The capture button Nikon L35 AF has quite a great depth, this takes a little time getting used to. And with Nikon L35 AD3, the button feels very good and firm, one can easily feel when pressing half the trigger (to lock light and focus) and full trigger (to activate the shutter).

However, the colors of generation 1 (AF) tend to overexpose (brighter) than generation 3 (AD3). You can see the 2 pictures below to better feel this difference. If you are a person who likes overexposed photos, life 1 is a reasonable choice. And if you like the photo to be correctly lit, neither too or too much, then life 3 (AD3) is the optimal option.
With both, shooting backlit will still flare/ghost in some complicated lighting cases, for example, the 2 photos below, if you want, you can attach a hood (use a screwed hood) to limit this situation.
About flash, whether it's a stream AF good AD3, the ability to fill flash for a very dark space is extremely good. What you need to remember is that firing the flash at full power too much can deplete the battery faster. Another point to note is the line AF life 1 There is no convenient off flash button like the 3rd generation, you need to press the flash manually by hand.

The viewfinder of both machines is bright, clear and big, convenient for glasses wearers. Nikon L35 AF there is an additional focus indicator in the view, this can limit the camera's AF failure without our knowing and creates a more "analog" feel. However, with Nikon AD3, personally, I've never been out of focus even though I've taken 4-5 rolls. In return, Nikon L35 AD3 Having a focus indicator is convenient when you want to take closest shots or the closest distance possible in addition to the visual flash indicator.
The shutter sounds of the two machines are quite similar. The shutter and film upholstery of both cameras operate independently. When you press the shoot, the shutter will be activated, but the camera will only roll up the next film when you release your finger. This is very useful when we're taking street photos: just press the shot, then quickly pull away and release your finger.
Load movies above Nikon L35 AF and AD3 are as easy as the hand. I've never had a missing film, even once the film didn't reach the line, the machine still loaded the film successfully!!! One plus point for these two machines: the film still leaves the edge when rewinding. Believe me, if the machine has problems or you simply want to test film, test the machine, do demos, this is a function that seems super basic, but it's not always available.
