Chapter 309: Buy a camera
Hu Yiting took Tong Mu and found the store specializing in photographic equipment at the intersection of Dianchi Road.
Walking into the narrow store, I saw that the walls were covered with transparent electronic drying cabinets, and the glass cabinets with constant temperature and humidity were full of various types of expensive imported cameras and lenses. Turning around and looking at the counter again, the main display inside is a variety of domestic and Japanese new 135 cameras, under the clear price, it is much cheaper than the top equipment in the electronic drying cabinet.
Tong Mu didn't know anything about the camera, and after entering the store, he asked the white-haired master who was sitting at the counter repairing an old camera, what kind of camera to use to take pictures.
When the master saw the beauty, he was in a very good mood, smiled and talked to Tong Mu with the young male salesman who came over to talk.
The master smiled and asked, "Girl, are you going to buy 120 or 135?"
The child shepherd was stupid.
The young man also laughed: "120 is a medium format camera, and 135 is a full-frame camera." ”
Tong Mu took a deep breath and judged according to his common sense: "I want to be full-frame." ”
The old master seemed to understand something, smiled and asked again, "Girl, what is your budget?"
Tong Mu blinked: "How much does a camera cost? I want to buy a better one." ”
The young man hurriedly said attentively: "The 135 camera is very good if it is made in China, but the Japanese one is much more expensive and not cost-effective." ”
As he spoke, he took out three shiny cameras from the counter in a row and placed them on the glass countertop.
"This is the Pearl River S-201, as long as 650, buy it now and get a 2.5x wide-angle lens, which is very cost-effective. This Seagull DF300 is better, and it also gives a 2.5x wide-angle lens, which costs 850 yuan. This Fujifilm 170 small automatic metering camera is more expensive, 3300, but you see how small the Japanese product is, the body is thin, all aluminum alloy, as long as you press it, the lens can be retracted, and the focus does not need to be manually twisted. ”
Tong Mu picked up the Pearl River S-201 and felt that it was about two catties heavy, and was startled: "It's really heavy." ”
Young man: "Real materials, all copper frame, aluminum alloy body. ”
Tong Mu picked up the Seagull DF300 and Fuji fully automatic 170 again: "The Seagull is so heavy." Well, Japanese products are quite light. ”
The old master saw at a glance that Tong Mu was a layman, and said with a smile: "Little girl, have you used a camera before?"
Tong Mu shook his head slightly: "I just bought it to take pictures, and I took pictures in Puhai in the afternoon." ”
The old master smiled and said: "If you don't usually use it, you don't need to buy too good, just buy a point-and-shoot camera with more than 100 points-and-shoots, and the plastic ones are cheap and lightweight." ”
The young man flattered: "Girl, you are so beautiful, it is too disgraceful to use a point-and-shoot camera, let's buy a better one, buy the S-201 if you have a tight hand, this one is selling very well now, it would be better to buy a seagull with some money, if you have money, just make a Japanese fully automatic, it is as convenient to shoot as a point-and-shoot camera." ”
Tong Mu was a little confused, turned his head and asked Hu Yiting, who was looking at the window: "What do you think, Hu Yiting? Do you want to buy a Japanese automatic one?"
Hu Yiting was very indifferent to Japanese products, and said in his heart that this was not the era of digital single-lens reflexes, and as for the desperate people who went to send R&D funds to the Japanese? If it weren't for the fact that the people of the world had made too much money for the Japanese on small, lightweight, fully automatic cameras, how could the devils have so much money to develop digital cameras. This year, the No. 1 selling camera in Europe is also a Japanese product, no way, Japanese products are much cheaper than European products, and they are also small, equipped with many electronically assisted shooting functions, but the image quality is not better than that of domestic products, but it is very suitable for the photography needs of white users.
"Don't buy Japanese products, don't want 135, you pick a 120 one. Hu Yiting continued to admire the imported camera in the electronic drying cabinet without looking back.
Tong Mu thought that Hu Yiting wanted to save money, so he turned around and smiled sweetly: "Please pick a 120 one for me, 135 full-frame is too expensive, we want to medium the format, we only have two people, so we can't use it that big." ”
The young man wanted to laugh when he heard this, but looking at Tong Mu's fairy-like smile, he felt that it was too blasphemous to laugh at such a beauty, and he only looked at Tong Mu's bright smile for a while, embarrassed and speechless.
The master didn't care so much, he smiled and said: "120 is more expensive than 135, film also costs money, processing also costs money, girl, don't make me mistake, although 120 is called a medium format camera, but it is much more than the imaging area of a 135 full-frame camera." ”
Tong Mu was stupid: "Yes, I don't understand this, I listened to him, he said to buy 120, we will buy 120." ”
The young man looked at Hu Yiting's back with jealousy, and then said to Tong Mu with a smile: "We only have a Seagull 4A for domestic 120 cameras, and we only have a good thing for export to domestic sales, 2300 one, to ensure quality! But if you have the money to buy a 120 camera, you might as well add some money to buy a Japanese fully automatic 135 camera." ”
Hu Yiting continued to look at the shop window, without looking back, as if he hadn't heard what was being said behind him, and thought: "In the 80s, China used to be the country with the largest number of camera brands in the world, and the state completely let go of this market and let all kinds of enterprises across the country break in. What free market, free competition, if there is no market monopoly share of high profits to invest in technology research and development, those economic theories are all, poor countries should concentrate on doing big things, do a monopoly brand to make money research and development, so many years, if the camera industry only engaged in a national brand, a leading manufacturer, such as Phoenix or Seagull, one engaged in lenses, one engaged in cameras, joined forces, like the State Grid monopoly profits, continuous research and development, will not end up losing even the underpants should be ......"
Tong Mu heard Hu Yiting muttering to himself, and turned around and said, "Hu Yiting, what are you talking about? Hurry up and get an idea, I don't know how to use cameras." ”
Hu Yiting came out of his thoughts, smiled and pointed to a boxy and cute camera like toast in the window in front of him and said: "Wife, look, this is the Hasselblad 120 camera that made my dad salivate back then, but at that time, I couldn't afford this thing, so I bought a Phoenix 135 camera as a baby." ”
Tong Mu leaned over and said, "You said Dad likes this brand?"
"Well, the 120 camera used to be used by professional photojournalists, and my dad said that Grandpa Mao's wife also liked to use the 120 camera the most, especially the Hasselblad in Sweden. Hasselblad is a Swedish national treasure camera brand, and the military camera used by American moon astronaut Armstrong when he landed on the moon was Hasselblad's 500EL.
Also, you remember, the medium format film used for the 120 camera is 6 cm by 6 cm, and the 135 camera sounds good to be called a full-frame camera, in fact, the film is only 3.6 cm by 2.4 cm, and the area of a single film is only less than a quarter of that of a medium format camera, and the pixels are of course much worse, and the film taken by the ordinary 135 camera, the photo is basically enlarged to eight inches, unless it is a particularly good lens, such as the top lens of the German Leica hundreds of thousands, that is another matter, and the tolerance of the 120 film is much better.
In short, wife, you still buy a 120 one, don't be too good, get a seagull 4A to play, just as a practice, anyway, it doesn't cost much, but it's also medium format, and the photos that come out are stronger than the top brand Leica's 135. ”
Tong Mu looked at the Hasselblad 503cxi in the electronic drying cabinet, and after a few seconds, he said categorically: "Just buy this." ”
Of course, Hu Yiting could guess Tong Mu's thoughts: "You are stupid, buy such an expensive camera, can you give it to your father?"
Tong Muwan smiled: "If you have money, you don't need it, it will be invalid when it expires, as you said before." ”
Hu Yiting smiled and said: "I'm up to you, this camera will not be outdated if you buy it, and it will not lose to a DSLR if you use it for another twenty years, but the film camera has a flaw after all, that is, it can't check the shooting effect in real time...... That's right, when Hasselblad comes out with a digital back case, this machine will continue to glow with vitality. ”
Tong Mu shook his head: "I don't understand what you said, but as long as Dad likes it." ”
Hu Yiting said: "Dad won't want it, you can keep it for yourself, if you like it, buy it with my salary card." ”
Tong Mu shook his head again: "The gift I gave to my father, of course, is my money." ”
Hu Yiting knew the character of the child pastor, so he had to keep his mouth shut.
At this time, the young male salesman was dumbfounded, the two young men and women in front of him were obviously not overseas Chinese, but almost instantly decided to buy the Awesome Hasselblad 503CXI in the cabinet, that thing was Hasselblad 95 years before the launch of the 500 series of ace products, basically only professional photographers will buy, even if this machine is sold very cheaply in Hong Kong, where imported electronic products are sold very cheaply, the price is 28800 Hong Kong dollars! It is also a luxury item in Europe and the United States, except for enthusiasts, ordinary people will not touch it if they don't have any money, and this camera is priced as high as 38,000 yuan in China after paying import tariffs!
Seeing this, the white-haired master at the counter couldn't help but hold on to the frame of his glasses and look at Hu Yiting carefully.
Tong Mu turned to the young man and smiled, "Please show me this Hasselblad camera, I want to buy it." ”
The young man nodded in a daze, took out the key from the cabinet drawer behind him, turned out from the depths of the counter, unlocked the door of the electronic drying cabinet, carefully placed the Hasselblad 503CXi on the counter, and took a piece of flannel from the master's hand and put it under the camera.
Tong Mu picked up the boxy box of the Hasselblad camera, which has not changed for thousands of years, and sighed: "Such a stupid thing is so expensive, and that Japanese automatic camera is much smaller than this." ”
Hu Yiting couldn't help but smile when he heard this, and said to the clerk: "What accessories does this camera have?"
The clerk hurriedly said: "With the original Zeiss 80MM Planar six jade lenses, F2.8-6, the original leather strap, the original back film box," After speaking, he quickly turned out the original packaging box from the cabinet behind the counter, and took out the manual to show Hu Yiting.
Hu Yiting translated a few sentences for Tong Mu while watching...... There's TTL metering, well, it's good...... Automatically align flash exposure...... 1/500sec high-speed flash sync ...... Available in 6cm*4.5cm film and full-frame film sizes...... 0.8 seconds per continuous shooting...... Multiple exposure...... "Seeing that Tong Mu was at a loss to hear what to say, he had to stop being wordy, and asked: "With such an expensive camera, don't you give some giveaways in your store?"
The young man looked at the old master, and the old master said: "I'll give you a tripod, the best brand in China, light and strong, it costs more than 500 to buy it alone, and then I will give you a set of ash cleaning kits, a high-end photographic equipment bag." ”
Hu Yiting thought for a while and said with a smile: "Okay, you can't shake your hands when you take good photos, it's really inconvenient to have no tripod, and you don't have to trouble others to help you take pictures with it, but don't you send a flash anymore?"
The master thought for a while: "The original box does not include a flash, and then I will send you two rolls of imported film, and then such a good professional camera and lens, with what miscellaneous flash, and to connect the lens line, and to set up the lamp, it is too troublesome, in the dark you remove the hood and directly use the long exposure, than the ordinary camera with the flash out of the content is much richer." ”
Hu Yiting touched his ears: "Thank you for reminding me, do you have a special flash for Hasselblad? In addition, bring me ten more rolls of film, the best." ”
The master nodded and said, "Hasselblad original flash 1600." ”
Hu Yiting was taken aback: "It's so expensive...... Well, get me one, it's always better to have a flash. ”
At this time, the young man began to teach Tong Mu how to open the viewfinder at the top of the camera, Tong Mu looked at the large square frame that suddenly jumped out of the top of the camera like a chimney and was startled, and then smiled and pointed the lens at Hu Yiting, looking down at him in the viewfinder.
Hu Yiting smiled warmly: "If you use this thing for a long time, you will find that the shooting pleasure is much stronger than those 135 cameras, and the gap between the operating feel and the shooting pleasure is as big as the difference between Ferrari and Xiali, as for the shooting effect, even the digital machine after 20 years cannot replace such a high-end 120 camera." In the future, if you have a digital back box, you can extend the life of this film back box for decades. ”
Under the guidance of the clerk, Tong Mu found the shutter located at the bottom right of the front of the camera, and said with a smile: "The first time I saw the camera shutter in this place." ”
The clerk broke the side lever and let Tong Mu hold it with his fingers.
"Well, it's a lot easier to press that way, and the design of this machine is quite thoughtful. ”
Then the clerk took the film, pulled out the film core from the film box on the back of the machine, and taught Tong Mu how to roll it, the way of rolling 120 film is completely different from that of 135 film, but Tong Mu is ingenious, and he will learn it, after opening it and re-winding it himself, he stuffs the film core into the film box and closes the lid.
The clerk then taught Tong Mu to use the crank on the core to shake the first film to the shooting position, and when he saw the number 1 on the film indicator, the clerk said, "This is ready to shoot." ”
Tong Mu smiled happily, took a step back with the camera, opened the viewfinder and looked down at the viewfinder, aimed at Hu Yiting with the lens for a few seconds, and the slender middle finger of his right hand gently pressed on the bottom shutter in front of the fuselage.
"Haha, I photographed you. ”
Hu Yiting said with a smile: "It's fun, there are twelve sheets of this roll of film, and if you press it a few more times, it will be gone." ”
Tong Mu stuck out his tongue and said in surprise: "I remember that my father's camera used to be able to take thirty-six or seven pictures in one roll. ”
The young male clerk also smiled: "120 film has a large area and is good for imaging, of course it costs to use, and each one must be thought about before shooting, otherwise it would be a pity, but every one rushed out is a surprise, and it is worth collecting for a lifetime." ”
Then the clerk taught Tong Mu some precautions such as passing films, pre-lifting, rolling pieces, and changing boxes, so Tong Mu opened the white shoulder bag he was carrying, and took out four stacks of banknotes in 10,000 stacks and stacked them on the table.
The young man began to count the money over and over again, counted it twice, and handed it to the master to count again, and took out the tripod, flash, ash cleaning kit, and film from the container behind him.
Hu Yiting put on the camera strap and put the items into the photographic equipment bag one by one, Tong Mu collected the money, and the two went out shopping.
Watching the two walk out of the store, the young man stuck out his tongue: "This little girl is really a beautiful mess, a rich mess, and I don't know where it came from." ”
The old master smiled and continued to repair the camera in his hand, and said, "It looks familiar, like a movie star." ”
The young man's mind flashed with inspiration, and he slapped his thigh suddenly: "Ah! Yes! She's a child pastor! Oh, look at my brain! Why didn't she react! She sang on the Spring Festival Gala! That singer Tong Mu!"
The old master was confused: "Is it? No wonder it's so beautiful, it's so dazzling in the store, and the temperament is really good, tsk......t"
