What is a film machine?

Question 1: What is a film machine? 60-minute film is silver salt sensitive film, also called film. Now generally refers to the film, made of PC/PP/PET/PVC.

The so-called film machine is the person who plays photography now. Compared with the digital cameras used now, the cameras that used film in the past are called "film machines".

Film machine has different effects from digital camera because of different photosensitive materials. Judging from the technology of digital cameras, there are still some indicators that are not as good as film. This is also the original stalk that some people continue to use the film machine at present. Then some people are tired of the impetuousness brought by the digital age, pick up the film again and return to the original chemical world.

Question 2: What's the difference between SLR and film? What is the principle of SLR film machine? Answer one by one.

1. The difference between digital SLR and film SLR is similar. Digital SLR has a display screen and more built-in functions. Film SLR is more traditional and requires higher manual function. Nowadays, digital SLR has different positioning, and some are aimed at professionals and ordinary people. The lower the machine, the easier it is to operate. Film SLR is made of film, and digital SLR is made of memory card.

2. If you are hungry, you can find a film SLR. Is there a data cable socket? In the past, photos were developed after a roll of film was taken. Of course, some people have their own conditions, such as darkroom and developer. As for the pile of film photos on the internet, how can they be directly transmitted to the computer! In the past, the film SLR was first introduced in the last century, when computers were not popular. At that time, we had to rely entirely on computers. The most convenient way now is to take your mobile hard disk or USB flash drive with you when developing film, and let others scan one for you, so that you can copy it and send it online.

3.D7000 may not have a film sense, but if you use Photoshop later, you can definitely. Don't forget that PS is omnipotent. Of course, it's not difficult to shoot that feeling, just a little higher on your own conditions. You should at least know the most basic knowledge of photography and learn how to set various parameters. How else to use it?

4. A good film machine is a lot. Personally, Minolta is the best, and the price is a headache. There are so many grades, just like the mid-range and high-end machines of the entry machine now. Can the price be the same? Others, Nissan's Nikon, Canon and Fuji are all acceptable, and domestic Phoenix, Pearl River and Seagull are also good. Prices range from tens to thousands, and online prices are different from those in physical stores. I suggest you look at it yourself and compare it. But I'm sure they won't be too expensive, because many people don't need them now. After the popularity of digital SLR, the film machine has been neglected.

Finally, to add a point, if you want to shoot retro effects with a film machine, you don't actually rely on the lens. There are special effects films on the Internet, and different films can have special effects.

Question 3: What is a film SLR? I am the owner of Taobao's "Classic Film Homecoming", and everyone in the circle plays movies. The principle of film SLR is the same as that of digital SLR. The full width in digital refers to the size of 35mm film, which is generally called 135 specification, that is, the film specification used by film SLR. The reason why the film produced by the film machine and even the stupid camera is very atmospheric is because it is a full-length negative. In addition, the film has a high tolerance and the height is not exposed (for example, if you shoot a basketball court digitally, the ground will be bright and the sky will turn white, but if you use film, you can still see the clouds in the sky), plus the unique texture, the expressive force is super strong.

There are many 500- 1000 film slrs on the market, most of which are made in Japan and China, or made in East Germany or the Soviet Union, and each has its own advantages and gameplay. I can't recommend it in a few words. Suitable for taking pictures or as retro decoration.

In addition, there are some automatic SLR, such as Canon EOS 1 and Nikon F5, which are suitable for quick shooting and are common with digital SLR lenses. Professional photographers like to use it because some magazines, such as National Geographic, only accept film manuscripts.

Question 4: What film machine does the cinematographer use? Professional photographers used to go out in medium format, such as Lulai, Freescale, Kangtai, mamia and Blue House? The worst is Pentax 645D.

Question 5: Which Leica cameras are film cameras? Leica MP is a classic film camera, whose full name is "mechanical perfection" or "perfect machinery"

Question 6: What does the film machine's a l s mean? What is the L file on the film machine?

Question 7: What are the advantages of film cameras over digital cameras? In some areas, the current digital still can't replace film.

For example, the grain of film is unchanged, but with the increase of exposure time, the noise in the photos obtained by digital cameras will gradually increase. Therefore, in astrophotography and landscape photography with minute exposure, film is irreplaceable.

Due to the typesetting effect and other problems, at present, a few magazines such as National Geographic only accept the submission of reverse films, and it is estimated that it will take several years to fully accept digital photos.

An EOS5-5 custom-made mid-range film camera is about 500 yuan as a second-hand machine at present, which can be said to be very valuable.

Discuss with friends on the first floor. In fact, when it comes to tolerance, movies are not necessarily good. Professional reverse films, especially things like Kodak, are actually a little underexposed, but the tolerance is actually only most black-and-white film and color negatives.

Question 8: Can I use any film on the film camera? The types of films are: 135 film, 120 film, 220 film, 127 film,10 film and loose film. Look at your camera. If the viewfinder is a small frame with one eye, it means 135 camera buys 135 film. If the camera is shaped like a square box, it means 120 camera buys 120 film. If the camera is on the back of the camera, it means that the large-format camera has to buy loose blades. These are common movies now. I guess yours is an ordinary 135 film. In addition, 135 indicates that the film width is 35mm, and a 1 is added in front of it to distinguish it from 35mm film. The frame of this film is 24 * 36 mm.

Question 9: What's the difference between a film camera and a SLR or a digital camera? In fact, it is the difference on the back of the camera. Take the top-end 645 camera as an example. These cameras can replace the film back and digital back, which means that the same camera can use both digital and film. The difference between digital and film is related to two points, one is the image quality, and the other is the shooting method.

Strictly speaking, film records light and shadow better than digital. Because the contrast, resolution and color of the film come from the chemical characteristics of the drugs on the film, the resolution recorded on the film will be higher, the color transition will be richer and the tolerance will be greater. For example, from red to orange, there may be a number of 10 and a film of 1000. In short, if you think of the photosensitive element as jpg, then the film is bmp.

But the advantages of movies also come at a price. First of all, movies shot on non-SLR cameras can't be previewed by what you see is what you get, and even on SLR cameras, you can't browse the already shot pictures. All the shooting results will not be known until they are developed in the darkroom. Therefore, film shooting often requires more photographic experience, otherwise it is easy to waste film. At the same time, many photographers will try several combinations of aperture and shutter when shooting film, and they will also carry a lot of film with them. Then the later stage of filming must be done in a dark room, not on the computer like us. If we have to do the latter, we must scan it into the computer with the help of advanced negative scanner and then process it. Digitalization can overcome these problems.

So to put it bluntly, film camera and digital camera are the compromise between shooting difficulty and imaging quality.

Question 10: What's the difference between the photos taken by the film camera? It's normal that there are many photos taken with film on the Internet. Now there are many loyal movie lovers still taking pictures with film cameras. Especially for large and medium format cameras, more photos are taken with film.

Shoot with film, scan with scanner after developing, or upload it to computer electronically. After uploading to the computer, it becomes a digital photo. Of course, it can be post-processed. As long as the technology is guaranteed, the effect will not be worse than that of the film, and it will not lose the realism of the film as said upstairs. On the contrary, a good later stage can better show the color and texture of the film. In addition, we can also scan the film, that is, the negative. However, if the negative is scanned at the bottom, it is more troublesome to reverse and remove the color mask of the negative and adjust the image on the computer. If you shoot with a reverse film and then scan it on a computer, the effect is great!

Film cameras are not as convenient as digital cameras, but why do many people like them now?

3. 1. The photos taken by film have great tolerance and rich details. For example, in a backlight or high light ratio environment (the light receiving part is bright and the backlight part is dark), it is easy to overexpose or underexpose with a digital camera, thus losing the details of the bright part or the dark part. It's much better to use film, even if you don't expose a few files, there will be details left. At the same time, it ensures that the highlights will not be overexposed, and there may even be unexpected surprises.

3.2. The color of this film is very good. Of course, this is a matter of opinion, and the color of digital cameras is also good. Film processing should go through darkroom for color processing, and digital images should be adjusted later. But in general, because there are many kinds of films, such as reverse films and negative films. Each one has a different model, there will be many different colors and styles, and each one has its own taste, so it is sought after by many people.

3.3. The film has a so-called "graininess". Many people like to use film because of its "graininess", and even think that this is the unique "texture" of film. In fact, this thing is the most meaningless. Not to mention the current digital post-technology, it is easy to imitate this "graininess" effect. For example, there is a preset directly in Lightroom, and the application will do, so you don't need to do it yourself. Even the film has no graininess, especially some films with extremely low sensitivity, with extraordinary details and excellent image quality. On the contrary, no particles can be seen at all. Therefore, because of the "graininess" of the film, it is actually unnecessary.
