The movie camera almost disappeared. Why do people still insist on using film cameras?

I believe everyone who takes pictures with a film camera will have their own answer to this question. I have a film camera, too. Tell me why I insist.

One reason: because the film machine is not so smart.

That's right, it's not that clever!

For digital cameras, you may be able to take dozens or hundreds of photos out with one click, and then choose the right one in the computer later, leave the good ones, delete and paste them. But for a film camera, every photo you take has a negative cost. It will make you really calm down and study the composition of the picture, the angle of light, the choice of aperture and so on. I can shoot mindlessly with a digital camera, but with a film camera, I may look here. From another angle, the chances of shooting are particularly high.

The predecessors of photography say that photography is not in the lens, but in the head behind the camera. Taking pictures with a film camera can force me to slow down, think more about what I want to present in the picture, and then press the shutter when I am satisfied with everything.

The second reason: the film camera takes the unique color of the photo.

The photos taken by the film machine are essentially different from those taken by the digital camera. In terms of color, even with powerful post-processing software, digital cameras cannot simulate the color of film cameras. The color fullness of the film machine and the softness of Jiao Wai will give you a vivid feeling. And digital cameras feel a little stiff in every way.

This may be the difference between man and machine, because there are more human factors in film formation, so the photos taken are more humanized. The color is softer.

In addition to the above two main reasons, there are other auxiliary reasons.

For example, the threshold is high enough. When you travel with a group of people, you always attract more attention when you take out a film camera.

For example, the price is cheap. A digital SLR needs five digits in Quan Huafu anyway, but a second-hand film camera with good appearance and the same Quan Huafu may be less than 1000.

For example, a film camera has a high value. In the past, old cameras had various values beyond the chart when modeling. Even if it's not for taking pictures, it can be used as works of art and shooting props, okay?

For example, you become maverick. Using a film camera will suddenly make you different and become a retrograde person who has been catching up with the trend in the crowd. Sounds cool, doesn't it?

In short, the film camera will always have a place in the photographer's heart. Even if these people take photos with SLR and mobile phones every day, there is always a yearning for their film cameras.
