Nikon L35AF “Pikaichi”
Hello 1983, keep the hair we will keep the cameras. Nikon refers to this camera as the “Pikaichi” which apparently translates as “Top notch” and they were quite proud of it. The lens is unique in that it has a focal length of 35mm yet is a Sonnar design which is more commonly associated with 50mm and above.
It seems to be a pretty good performing lens, unfortunately I used the Cherry wide angle and telephoto adapters on most of the pictures so the true performance is somewhat obscured. 
The nice thing about this adapter set though is that they come with lenses for the viewfinder so you get the proper field of view but putting them on and taking them off is cumbersome. So what I like about this camera is the little focus distance scale in the reasonably large viewfinder and the feel of the camera. While not a light camera it fits nicely in one hand with its front grip and textured pad for your thumb. See the early 1980’s weren’t all bad.
