Yes. The Nikon L35AF can use standard 35mm film in either 24- or 36-exposure rolls. The cartridge size is the same; a 36-exposure roll simply gives you more frames on a longer strip of film. That by itself does not reduce image quality.

If you’re unhappy with your results, the roll length is not the cause. Image quality is more likely affected by things like exposure, focus/sharpness, lighting, film condition/storage, the camera’s condition, or the quality of the lab processing and scanning/printing. Drugstore processing can sometimes be a weak link compared with a dedicated photo lab.

So: use 36-exposure film freely in the L35AF. If quality is the real issue, look at film choice, shooting technique, and especially where the film is developed and scanned.
