Beijing Memory: The 47th Wukesong Expo, the 2nd1year of my camera Taobao.

In 2002110, I came to Beijing to attend the Wukesong second-hand camera fair, which was my second time after six years. Over the years, I have faded out of the circle of playing with cameras, but I have been fascinated by traveling for nine years. How are you, my old friend? Remember Guo in those years?

At seven o'clock in the morning, I arrived at Beijing Wukesong Photography City to attend the second-hand equipment exchange meeting, which is the 47th session. Think about it. I took part in this activity for the first time in the autumn of 2000. I came with Zhang Yi. In an instant, 2 1 year has passed.

20 12 "Farewell" photographic equipment has been distributed and collected for almost ten years. It seems that the last time I came to this activity was on 20 15, which has been six or seven years. I thought an acquaintance would set up a stall. Does anyone know me?

As a result, there were not many people in the morning and the booth was not satisfied, but there was only a 100-meter-long booth, which made me walk for an hour!

Thanks to the opportunity of the camera, thanks to 30 years of camera collection and exchange, I still see many old friends here. Although they all wear masks, although the years have passed, their figures and voices are still familiar, people keep greeting and old friends are constantly surprised. ...

Let me talk about my impression of this Expo first. From the operator's point of view, most of them are familiar faces, and there are not many newcomers and young people entering this industry. Some original camera collectors, because of their age, began to deal with their collections. ...

In terms of equipment, they are basically film machines and antique machines, and few are digital. Although Germany can collect a few foreign film machines, most low-end cameras have fallen sharply, especially those in Japan, which have entered a low tide. ...

Moreover, the price of domestic machines is still high, and even people are caught off guard. ...

I saw some domestic cameras in the morning: Songshan double-reverse 7000 yuan; Shanghai 203 Leather Camera 1200 yuan; 2000 yuan brand new seagull 4B unopened; Seagull DF camera 700 yuan; Manual simple camera 500 yuan; Happiness camera 300 yuan; Beijing 50/2 focal plane 1800 yuan.

I saw some domestic watches at the Wukesong second-hand camera fair and asked about the price:

Shanghai 58 1, 300 yuan; Shanghai ordinary type, the price of 80 yuan; Shanghai Calendar, 40 yuan.

Finally bought this Shanghai calendar.

In fact, the "reserve" of domestic old watches is still very large. At that time, we couldn't afford imported watches, so China people could only choose domestic watches. Since the 1950s, the country began to develop domestic watches, which gradually declined in the 1980s.

Over the past 30 years, there have been many watch factories, large and small, with many brands, but apart from the early trial-production stage, each factory has its own research and development. By the 1970s, a large number of unified movements were used. At this time, the watch is only different in brand and appearance, and the core is the same, which is not of great collection value.

The domestic watch collection is mainly the early watch collection, with different watch cores, beautiful dials, many samples, interesting and valuable, but it is rarely seen in the market. ......

Beijing Wukesong Second-hand Camera Fair is the largest used camera trading activity in China and one of the largest camera collection trading activities in the world, which is deeply loved by camera lovers and collectors.

This year is the 23rd and 47th. Although many foreign camera manufacturers and fans can't come because of the epidemic, the event is still very lively, crowded and there are many transactions.

But I also found a problem, that is, the participants are older and young people don't participate much. I haven't participated in this activity for six years, but I still see many familiar faces, especially the operators. Many of them are familiar, but everyone is old, and few newcomers, especially young people, buy and sell.

I'm a little worried. The era of camera collection is aging, and some original collectors have begun to sell their own collections, leaving behind. ...

How will the camera collection go in a few years?

Camera collectors from Shanghai have become the biggest buyers and the most popular crowd at the Wukesong second-hand camera fair.

At the invitation of Shanghai Overseas Chinese Photography Association, I went to Beijing to visit Beijing's photography collection culture and attend the Wukesong Second-hand Camera Fair.

Thirteen collectors from Shanghai not only had extensive exchanges with collectors in Beijing and discussed photography culture, but also bought a lot at the Expo and took away many beloved things.

They said that although Shanghai's camera culture is also very rich and there are many varieties, they still saw some differences in the second-hand trading activities of Wukesong, especially the old cameras made in China, which are not only more, but also lower in price.

The merchants and sellers of the transaction were embarrassed to hear that they were Shanghai collectors. Sellers in Beijing, Tianjin, Shenyang and Dalian all made big profits, expressing welcome and friendliness, and also making Shanghai collectors happy and satisfied. I'm glad you came! Go home with a big bag and a small bag. ...

Wukesong is a place of affection, and the second-hand camera exchange meeting is a photographic cultural activity with temperature.

Will I come again next year?
