[Film Photographing in a Slow Time] Article One: The film is dead? A film photography enthusiast's attitude and choice (including 135 camera experience, film usage experience)

Hello everyone. Qiao Hao just had a good year of photography, so I wanted to write something, as a personal photo book, as a memorial and sharing. Now I mainly shoot film, so I talked about the use of film cameras, film and some other experiences and experiences that I can use for reference. Taking the following personal use feelings is inevitably subjective and subjective. Do not like to spray casually, humbly ask. Digital can take a look at my original article: "wave flow: I and FUJIFILM Fuji X-E2S six months"

Foreword

Talk about why you play film. At the beginning of this year, Fujifilm entered the digital camera. After half a year's shooting, it may be a little less passionate, so it is rarely photographed every day. Later when I went out to play with my family at the end of August, when I took pictures with my camera, my mom said, â€œThe film is expensive and you take some pictures.â€ I said with a smile, this is a digital camera. No film is needed. After going back, the idea of â€‹â€‹"film" has been in my mind. Until I saw the film photos on the Internet, my unique texture and the shades of the shadows deeply impressed me. After that, he jumped into the pit of the film without turning back. Starting with a film camera, all the basic photos are filmed now. The digital is eating in the gray, and later simply out of the digital (but actually not digital in fact very inconvenient, do not indiscriminately learn me).

The last digital movie

Many people say that film only has "feelings" and I understand it as "attitude," that is, your understanding and requirements for photography.

During the National Day last year, he spent a few days with Jiyou. I borrowed him digitally and used film. After coming back, there were hundreds of pictures in the digital (also let me help him to pick), but the film was only one roll. A volume of 36, almost every piece of my composition, to ensure the metering of light, to find light in the heart, to find good things, to shoot with heart. Until now, the mood and thoughts of each photograph taken in this volume are still fresh. If you say feelings or memories, it's worth mentioning. When we are pursuing faster autofocus speeds, higher usable iso speeds, and higher speed continuous shooting speeds, we might as well stop for a moment to pause for a moment. Feel the breath of life in front of you and sigh in the breathtaking beauty of scenery.

Used film camera feel and evaluation

In just a few months, film cameras tore back and forth three. In order are Minolta X700, Nikon F3HP, and Foranda R3A, respectively, and there are corresponding lenses. Ask me why I do not check cards? Because of the quality of the film photos, I only look at the lens, film, rinse, scan, and weather.

Minolta Minolta X700

As a pseudo-art otaku, the first film camera directly into the watercress one of the four major artifacts, Minolta X700. At the time, Amoy's box was all in good condition. Unfortunately, only one shot was taken.

Advantages: Relative to the low price, you can have a film A SLR camera SLR camera. Plus a nice look and a bright viewfinder are the highlights of this camera. I think it's more general appearance.

Disadvantages: plastic body. However, the weight is relatively lighter. Electricity is easily broken.

Overall evaluation: film entry, literature and art fan preferred.

-----------------------------------------------

Nikon Nikon F3hp

F3 can be called SLR Mars in the film manual era. As Nikon's last flagship manual film SLR, it has a reliable all-metal body and a rich accessories system. F3 has entered the battlefield, in legend, it is not a bad drop (difficult to use)

Advantages: It has a rich array of post-modern new and old lenses, a solid and reliable quality of workmanship, quartz shutter control, and more accurate exposure.

Disadvantages: Heavy. But the grip is good and people feel at ease. Electronic shutter, only 1/60s of a shutter can be used when no electricity is available. Playing with film, in addition to not measuring the light, other cameras, a bag of spare button batteries, and nothing in your bag is placed a condom, can make people feel comfortable, ready to use.

Overall evaluation: If you compare FM2 to a literary youth, then F3 is a domineering and mature man. Although there is no FM2400 shutter, in addition to the big sun under the large aperture (such as me) is not enough, other shooting tasks, properly. The peak of film manual SLR!

---------------------------------

Foranda Bessa R3A

For me with compositional obsessive-compulsive disorder, let the parallax parallax become my main camera. The biggest reason lies in its fairly easy and easy weight and the low-key look. All m lenses can be used, including Zeiss VM, Folenda ZM, and Leica M.

Advantages: Aperture priority (A file), rapid capture; digital shutter display; exposure lock (AE); 1.0 full magnification viewfinder, for the use of 50mm header, than the Leica m3 also a refreshing viewing experience. The weight is lighter than the Leica m6, m7, and the low-light handheld holds the possibility of a lower shutter speed. Cheaper than Leica, the same performance of the Leica m7, but as long as the price of 4 points, also saved a lot of black cloth money.

Disadvantages: Not Leica. There is no wider viewing frame (40mm widest), but with an external viewfinder is also handsome.

Overall evaluation: Leica M7 competitor. Film efficiency, very easy to use and practical. Others have nothing to say. If you have money, you will be rewarded with a card. After all, the quality of your work and eye-catching cola are better.

Used film introduction and experience

In fact, it is a good time to envy the film's popularity, making people dazzling, all kinds of film, as well as eclectic hair color. Nowadays, the number of films that can be selected in the market is very high, and the prices are relatively high. When I sigh, this year's CES2017 has ushered in the news that all film fans are excited! ! !

Well, some of the photos above are familiar.

However, filming is only a niche. I hope that more people will try to make film, so that we have the opportunity to resume production or even develop new film.

--------------------------------------------------

Well, after reading the above masters, the following can also be used to sample some of the films I have used. Only when the plastic hair color reference, different lens, light, wash, scan, the actual color is certainly different. Level difference, just spray ... (samples are Fujitsu surgery SP3000 scan)

Fujifilm Fujifilm C200 Color Negative Film

The price is low, the grains are moderate, the contrast is low, and when the light is good, it has a fresh taste. Although as a low-end entry volume, the overall quality is good. recommend!

Also as an entry test roll. Suitable for students who like warm colors. Low price, moderate grain, low contrast.

Samples:

R3A+VM40 1.4

Agfa AGFA 200/400

A fiery red tone. Some of the light is reddish, while the weak light is green, so that the film is quite magical ... personally feel very appropriate to shoot in the festive season (people's face is red all through ~). The cheapest in the long-term production of 400 degrees color negative. I am generally used to shoot under low light. 400 degrees slightly more particles. The contrast is high.

Samples:

R3A+VM40 1.4

Fujifilmfilm Business 100/400 Color Negatives

The contrast is low and the colors are lighter. This section is only sold in Japan, so it is much more expensive to get inside China. Hong Kong really, the overall quality of this volume is generally like, was speculation high prices, not recommended. You can buy when you change flavors, but it is not recommended to buy more.

Samples:

R3A+VM40 1.4

F3hp+50 1.4 auto

Kodak Kodak 250D/5207 Color Movie Roll

Note: The sweeping process is ECN2!

It is not recommended to use movie rolls for important occasions. For a movie-like effect, the requirement for light (brightness) is relatively high. Anyway, I bought tasting and playing, it was quite interesting. Rinse the carbon removal step, using the ECN2 process instead of the C41 for the general negative. The price is slightly expensive. Flushing is also slightly expensive.

Samples:

R3A+ZM50 2

Sample finished.

All the films, in addition to expired, never had so-called silk reels or rubbish rolls. Each film is very good! In the case of no problem with the sweeping, the film's different characteristics, film thickness, and even color cast, hair color is also unique, unique.

There is no need to post-scan later:

My attitude is: Film is just another person (referring to washing, scanning) to help you later part, to achieve the effect of the heart, then there is no problem in the later period. "Photography is not a late period, it's a big stupid thing" - this sentence applies digitally. One of my "late" ones reached the picture of the heart, which is enough.

Conclusion:

Introductory players such as ä¿º are casually patted, and then Taobao or local rush. There are conditions, you can try to self-improvement, large format film reversal film + slide function allows you to see the film to see the climax. Not to mention the wet version, the silver version, etc... In short, the pit is very big, but there is a lot of fun in the pit.

Having said so many advantages (it doesn't seem to say oh...), of course there are drawbacks. First of all, the photographic technology requires a slightly higher threshold, without the help of digital electronic automation. Newcomers are more likely to waste films. Photographers in the film era, it was a true-tech photographer who had taken more than a roll of real numbers. And the cost of shooting can be described as long-term flow, to buy film for money, to flush money, scan for money, send someone else to rush to have to count the freight ... self-improvement can also be relatively troublesome, but the process is very enjoyable.

But please don't feel that filming is a waste of money. I regard it as an investment, an investment based on happiness. Believe me, film can definitely bring you experience and fun that digital cameras can't provide (digital is also very good) because film is addictive.

The film did not die or fade, but it became a niche. The film can make people feel cool twice, and the kind of patience and patience that they took when shooting, waiting for the surprise and loss after a long wait.

In spite of this, I still highly recommend photography, and try the unique charm of the film. Because, as big as saying, we are not shooting photos, feelings.

To Zhang "Chills 2" for his brother's dialogue.

......

Well, it's almost time to withdraw....

Finally, thank you very much for reading this article. The next estimate is medium format, accounting for the first pit. Let's just say this. Finally, I wish you all a happy new year! Happy New Year!
