finally...
next, going to adapt the lens to my Z! :o :o :o

In the late 1980's, when the used prices came down, I had a few of these, and also a few of the Canon Sure Shot equivalents. My problem was always that they usually failed after about 10 rolls of film.

I have the underwater version, which I had heard has the same lens, but apparently is now said to have the lesser Tessar type. Nonetheless, it's a pretty decent and robust camera both in and out of the water. It's been some time since I used it, but it was a good pocket camera, and unlike the L35AF, its flash as well as its AF are both optional.
I had a Minolta Weathermatic Dual 35 as well, but it broke. The Nikon is simpler and tougher (and less conspicuous, being black rather than yellow).

Funny that. I had a number of Pentax 928 cameras that went the same way after not all that many rolls of film.
