Which film machine is good for beginners, with high cost performance ~

I am a senior three student. At the beginning, like you, I fantasized that starting with film, I could learn photography at a cheap price. It turns out that I was wrong. The cost of film SLR is much higher than that of digital SLR. And the picture quality is much lower than digital. The reason is very simple: the most common color negative film is probably a roll of 20 yuan, and the development of a roll is probably 25 yuan, so every 36 photos need 45 yuan, with an average of more than one Zhang Yiyuan, not counting the cost of printing photos. So 1000 yuan to buy a multi-functional body, 2,500 yuan to buy a lens with passable imaging, and shooting 20 rolls of film every year will cost at least 6,200 yuan in three years. At this price, you can buy a Nikon D5200 SLR with 24 10 pixels, and you can take at least tens of thousands of photos in three years.

Let me show you an article:

Now is the digital age, but for the photography industry, the debate between digital and film has never stopped.

1. In terms of imaging quality, I had a chance to chat with Mr. Qian Yuankai, and his conclusion was that the maximum size of 135 film would not exceed 6 million pixels. Besides, Mr. Qian told me his personal experience. The Palace Museum once spent a huge sum of money (8 digits) to buy a digital camera with pixels exceeding 1 100 million. In order to compare this digital camera with the imaging of 8x 10, Mr. Qian was specially invited to shoot. The final conclusion is that all films except pure black and white paintings are the same as 8x 10, and the color reproduction is better than 8x65438. Just shooting pure black and white film is not as good as film, which is caused by the problem that the latitude of digital imaging is lower than film.

Qian Yuankai and Zhang Yifu are good friends and old enemies. When two people meet, it is inevitable to argue about the advantages of digital and film. I learned something from their argument.

First, film has reached its peak since its invention, and it is difficult to make some qualitative breakthroughs in technology, which is at a standstill. With the rapid development of digital technology, it is only a matter of time before film is completely replaced.

Second, the powerful advantage of digital in the later period is incomparable to film. With the post-digital era, you can have a pair of powerful wings to fly. Let's quote Mr. Qian: Since you use a digital camera to make a film, you have to do the later stage. Why use a digital camera if you don't do it later? It's like taking a picture on film without developing it.

Thirdly, color management is the most important link that directly affects digital post-production. The same photo will be seen on different monitors, the photos developed by different print shops will be different, and the photos developed by the same print shop at different times will be different. No matter how good the photos in the early stage are, no matter how good the adjustment in the later stage is, if you don't understand color management, the final films are all scrap iron. Whether we use film or digital, the ultimate goal is to get real photos. A real thing that happened in the national photo contest is that many contestants only sent electronic documents without photos. Because of this, more than half of the people were screened out in the first rough election.

3. Debate about different brands of digital cameras. In fact, all digital cameras have the same imaging principle. If there is such a software, the RAW photos of all brands of cameras can be truly restored without any processing, then you will find that the photos obtained are the same regardless of color, contrast, sharpness and so on. The reason why there are such statements as Nikon Sharp, Canon Meat and Fuji Yan is that different manufacturers have different processing algorithms for the electrical signals obtained by their camera photosensitive elements. The same effect can be obtained through post-processing, which reminds us more of the importance of post-processing for digital photography. Therefore, you don't need to think about what brand of camera I buy and which brand has good imaging quality. More attention should be paid to the hardware index, easy operation performance and after-sales service of the camera.

4, the lens. The so-called bull's head and dog's head, in different hands, the bull's head will also become a dog's head, and the dog's head will also become a bull's head. The key is to see how you use it. The most basic problem, hand shake, will exist for anyone, but after long-term exercise, the impact of hand shake will be minimized. No matter how good the camera and lens are, it is useless to solve the problem. We exaggerate the problem to the maximum: let Ali take a big picture and shoot it! !

5. Finally, I will give you a sentence that Mr. Qian said: It is better to use a "good" camera than a "good" lens.

Attachment: It is recommended that you use CRT monitor to adjust the picture. Ordinary LCD can't be used to adjust the picture, except professional LCD (such as Zhuo Yi), but the price of a professional LCD 19 inch is also daunting, and a 19 inch CRT is really cheap, so any new CRT display can be made without choosing a brand. It's better. I suggest buying a long tube monitor. Simple adjustment of the new display, set the picture below as the desktop, set the color temperature of the display to 6500K, set the contrast to the maximum, and then adjust the brightness until the two black blocks at the lower right are as close as possible, but they can be distinguished.

I wish everyone can make a good film, bring out satisfactory results, or at least be satisfied with their photos.
