Want to start with a high-value film camera, do you have any cost-effective recommendations?

After so many years of development, film cameras have introduced countless high-value models. After so many years of development, compared with when they were first introduced, the cost performance has become very high. As a photographer, a tossing character, I have used a lot of film machines for so many years. Some step on the pit, and some feel good. Next, I recommend several film cameras with high value and high cost performance.

? 135 frame (Quan Huafu)

1. Minolta X700 Price: 800,

The X-700, which was born in 1982, can be said to be a combination of two most advanced technologies in camera manufacturing at that time: program (P) automatic exposure and TTL automatic flash. The program mode of X-700 applies the program ratio of shutter aperture of 4: 7 for the first time. With this ratio, the maximum aperture at the speed of 1/30 seconds or less can be matched in low illumination environment. In high illumination environment, the aperture decreases sharply with the increase of shutter speed. TTL flash is a kind of system which can directly measure the plane reflection of film and realize automatic control of flash exposure, and it was also the most advanced at that time. In addition, the X-700 also has the functions of automatic exposure and manual exposure with aperture priority, as well as professional functions such as exposure compensation, exposure locking and depth of field prediction. The X-700 was developed as a high-end amateur camera, so it has many accessories, such as two motor film reels, date backtracking, wireless controller and so on. It is precisely because of the power of the X-700 that Nikon's popular camera FM-2 won the European Camera Award that year.

This camera is the first camera in my family. I have been interested in mechanical structures since I was a child, and even dismantled them. Fortunately, I finally found a master to fix it. At the same time, he is also the first teacher of my camera. In the past, my family had almost no knowledge of photography and only used P files to shoot. In our hands, this is a fool's machine. The advantage is that the picture quality is very good compared with the fool machine. Minolta md bayonet series lenses have a wide range of choices and are not expensive. Later, this camera rushed to the position of one of the three major machines of Douban. At present, the price has dropped. Coupled with personal feelings, I put it in the first place.

2. Nikon FE2 Price: 800

When it comes to Fe2, we must take out the FM2 of the same door for comparison. Nikon FE2 and FM2 have almost the same shape, and their positioning is a highly integrated electronic machine. At that time, the price was higher than that of FM2, and it was easier to use. As an electric camera, it relies heavily on batteries. Compared with mechanically driven fm2, the shutter control of FE2 using electronic shutter is more accurate, and the automatic exposure is more accurate than that of purely mechanically driven FM2. After years of hype, the price of FE2 is less than half that of FM2. Very cost-effective.

This camera is the first film camera I bought myself in my life. I hesitated between FM2 and FE2 for a long time. At that time, FM2 was sought after by many people for its ultra-stable titanium alloy honeycomb shutter. Even now, there are many people who pursue it. After so many years, prices have gone up instead of down. I hesitated for a long time because of lack of money. Later, it was found that the shutter of fe2, like Fm2, was made of titanium alloy. If I had looked for it at that time, I found that the price was only half that of FM2, that is, around 800 yuan, so I did not hesitate to start with FE2. At the same time, thanks to the high electronic design, its shutter accuracy and film yield are obviously higher than those of FM2, a purely mechanical camera. So I think it is also worth recommending. Needless to say, the silver-black design is easy to match with today's clothes, and with the leather strap, the value is even higher.

3. Canon AE 1 Price: 800

Canon 1976 launched AE- 1 camera in April, which is popular all over the world. When AE- 1 was introduced, TTL manual metering cameras (including Canon FTb and Canon FTb-N) were still the mainstream in the 35mm SLR camera market. Automatic exposure camera is still in the leading position in the SLR camera market. They are all more expensive and produce less.

However, the design of Canon AE- 1 starts from the basics and consists of 5 main components and 25 secondary components. They are controlled centrally by a microcomputer. Through integrated circuits, the number of components is reduced by 300. The production of cameras is also highly automated. Therefore, it is possible to produce cameras with high-end functions at relatively low prices.

This machine is also one of the three magical machines of Douban. The reason why it was listed was mainly because it was simple to operate and the price was relatively cheap at that time. Coupled with this retro appearance, it is also very popular. I haven't really started using this camera yet. I just borrowed it from a friend for a month, but it feels good. Canon's lens color is very distinctive, and the skin color of the people photographed is quite pleasing. I think it is suitable for young ladies who like to take pictures.

120 framework

1.？ Seagull 4a Price: 800

Seagull 4a is used as a double-reverse film camera. In those days, the output was very large, and a good color can be bought around 500 yuan. Compared with the film camera with 135 frame above, its frame is larger. However, there is a lack of metering system, which requires higher operation. Compared with the SLR system, the lens of the double-reflex camera cannot be replaced, and the focal length of the lens is fixed. The maximum speed of mirror shutter is only 1/300. But a larger frame can bring deeper depth of field and greater luminous flux.

This camera is almost a novice camera with 120 frame. At that time, the price was only about 400, and now it has been fried to about 800. You can change the lens of a sky plug yourself, and the quality after replacement is unfamiliar to many expensive lenses at present. Moreover, the special width and scattered scene of 120 frame are very charming. And among so many cameras, I think its face value is the highest. In this era when face value is justice, I think playing film photography must start with a camera.
