My first film SLR: KONICA MINOLTA Konica Minolta X-700

As a 90-year-old born after 90, the first contact with the camera was in the film era. But at that time, the family did not know much about photography. The camera at home was just a fool machine that didn't need to focus on. What specific brand was not remembered. Although my family did not know much about photography, my dad was still very fond of photography. There are a lot of photography books in the house, and he always imagined that when he retired, he could take pictures with his camera. For this reason, he very much supports me to take pictures, of course not to be too degrading. In the second year of college, the family paid for a Canon 550D. The lens is the 18 55 dog's head and the small beak that is in focus. He took pictures on and off after graduation, but the shutter number has not been able to break through five digits. After graduating, I put the camera at home. I should go for a graduation trip for myself. For a total of more than 40 days, it is really troublesome to bring a SLR. Since then, my main camera has become a mobile phone, iphone5s at that time. Iphone photos really good, before may not feel that since the change of the Meizu pro5 only to find how bad the phone camera in the end ... this article in addition to the sample is used pro5 shot, we make do!


X700 plus automatic roll handle. Shooting background is lab coat... Thanks for CAS's friendship sponsorship

The reason why the film started to play was because of several reasons: First of all, during his studies, there has been no camera stronger than a mobile phone (there is a Fujifilm XP80 waterproof camera, um, the one with a lower quality than the mobile phone). On a trip, I met a Taiwanese brother. He took a Canon SLR film. What type of model was forgotten? During that time, he borrowed me and played it. The feeling at that time was wonderful. I want to buy it! ! ! ! So when he returned to school, he started buying and buying. During this period, I studied the film machine. What I wanted most was Nikon's FM2. The appearance was good, the performance was good, and the all-metal feel was good! ! The only drawback is that it is too expensive...


Nikon FM2, find it online, if there is a problem, help me delete it~

At the same time, in the process of finding the machine, the ebay site was discovered and the machine was started from above. The benefits of ebay are cheap. It can be said that the same two mobile phones can be half as fast as the domestic ones. Of course, the risk is very big, all kinds of risks, what the seller intentionally hides the problem, the express delivery lost, the transshipment company does not give the transshipment, the customs are sleeping........................ I have encountered these. And it seems that the lost money is comparable to what you saved. . .

X700 is actually quite famous, the so-called watercress God machine ... ... ... The advantage is pure electronic system (this is now considered a drawback, we all like pure machinery), learn the screen is very bright, the lens is cheap (I do not buy cheaper) The main disadvantages are the slow shutter speed, poor feel of the plastic body and the so-called capacitive problem. However, there is no problem with the capacitance of this station. It should not be made in China. Before saying that the X700 is a pure electronic system, it means no electricity. This is not like Nikon's FM2... purely mechanical film machine. The batteries are used only for metering. If there is no electricity, it is not wrong to use it except metering. But the X700 does not work. This may be the current "film party" most dislikes. But I like it very much and it should be easy to use. Pure mechanical SLR I also have, but occasionally forget to adjust the shutter speed, and then out of waste. And I like to shoot the film immediately, waiting for the next shot at any time, so if it is a mechanical shutter will appear long after the film may not be filmed for a few days, will cause the shutter speed problems, but the X700 will not be like this . Although the X700 uses electricity, but only need two LR44 button batteries can be driven, shooting 10 volumes no problem.

My bought X700 is bought from ebay, because of the relatively long time, the original purchase link has not been opened, then I plugged in an eBay search out X-700, silver version. I bought x700 plus a total of 800 RMB for postage. It doesn't seem to be much cheaper than Taobao, but... But...it's a lot of stuff... when it comes to opening the packaging, it’s a bit of a squeak, a total of 5kg, including a camera and a 50 Focusing head of f1.4. Two zoom heads, one flash, two film handles, one photography, shutter release, two shoulder straps, various filters and a variety of books, manuals, etc...


Unpacking

Here is the opening box map at the time. There are too many things.

5kg parcel...

There are a lot of various things inside

Out of the box to this end, now we look at the details ...

Above the camera, the shutter speed is only up to 1000

Sheets, you can see the shutter curtain is horizontally slide the curtain shutter



experience feelings

Minolta X700 really feels like it should be the plastic body, especially when holding the right hand, but also feel the plastic in the creaking sound. This camera is very accurate metering, and there are A files, under normal circumstances I are using the A file camera, should be manual shutter speed, then always forget the tone. And I was shooting negatives, not so high exposure requirements, exposure compensation is basically not used, should be X700 with exposure lock, or very convenient.

The focus of this old-style camera is completely manual, and the focusing screen is a split-phase microprism. I also stuck under the introduction:


Focus is generally slow, and basically it's not for you. It doesn't matter to other people. So it’s very troublesome for someone to help you take pictures with your camera. And basically if you want to shoot the object can only be about a range, and then use super-focus to solve.

And the ISO of the film machine is the property of the film, not the adjustable parameter at any time. In general, film shots with 200-400° are used. The problem is that there is no large aperture outside, and the maximum aperture in the room can't meet the safety shutter. The whole camera should be free from image stabilization, so the safety shutter is really important. 50 The speed of the hand below the first 30 will be basically paste ...

Sample time

Cute Uncle

Korean airline flight attendant

Stealth can not be shot in theory, but really think this flight attendant is very beautiful, and it should be the chief of flight (this call right?), hairpin is very special, I really want to buy one (I am a straight man) ... So pretrace It took a long time to successfully shoot. Next to the uncle to see me shoot him to shoot, the result was picked up the phone was said.

Write and feel

Are these photos "filmy"? Well, I think so, hahaha. I personally think that for me, the benefits of film are: First, the composition will be good before shooting, and one scene will basically take a picture. The waste rate is much lower than that of a digital camera. I use SLR or mobile phones are customary to shoot 3 to 10, and then come back to choose ... ... the rest is the electronic (digital?) garbage. Second, the film is pre-colored, and it's better to come back without repairing it. Then, pretending to use artifacts ... before using Pentax's MX to take pictures, was asked by sister paper is not a micro-single card, instant vanity bursting. Also, I'm actually an equipment party... The film machine is cheap and not so heartily (digital can't afford it at all).

In the end, I actually don't use the X700 anymore. It should be said that there is no need for SLR. After buying the TVSIII from Kang Tai, it was found that the portability was really king. TVSIII can be mounted in your pocket and want to shoot. Although I use the film SLR, although the volume is not large (X700 body and Dafa A7 almost), but more than one lens is really not loaded ... Moreover, the TVSIII lens is really not bad!

My side axles

My collapsing lens can be folded. In the middle is Contax tvsiii which is taped into a wallet. The left side is Moscow-5, and the right is Olympus mju-1.

This winter vacation went to Laos to prepare to bring the Moscow-5 on the left of the map and the Contax tvsiii in the middle, because the two are best. About Moscow-5, this is a folding camera 120 camera, interested to understand can look at the bottom of this article, especially like the style of the author!


On the sauce! ! Do experiments to slightly!
