Siheyuan: I, the eldest son of the Liu family, will enter the department!

Although some machinery factories were able to mass-produce cameras, the output was pitifully low and the prices were high, making them unaffordable for ordinary people.

What’s more important is that you will have to spend money later.

This thing is not like a bicycle or a radio that you can use right after buying it.

After buying it, each shot consumes one frame of film, and after taking the photo you have to take it to the photo studio to develop it. Which one doesn't cost money?

The price of a photo!

It’s enough for an ordinary family to have a good meal.

Naturally.

Only a few wealthy families can afford a camera...

It is far less practical than three turns and one ring.

therefore!

Cameras of this era are not in the mainstream of three turns and one ring.

----------

Liu Guangqi's side.

Holding the camera in my hand, a cool and heavy metallic feeling came through my palm.

This weight is so solid!

The aluminum-cast body has a low-key silver-gray luster, which is sturdy and reliable. The dark brown rubber on the grip has clear texture.

Brand new without any wear or tear.

His fingertips gently stroked the top of the fuselage. The three small gold-plated characters "Purple Mountain" were written with strong and powerful strokes, imprinted with the pride of an era.

The model number "Z-135" is engraved on the line below, which is deep and clear.

It seems to be telling about his extraordinary origin.

Liu Guangqi's heart skipped a beat. This... turned out to be a Purple Mountain camera!

and.

Or the first batch of cameras just launched by Jinling Film Machinery Factory

In the previous life——

Even if he was not a camera enthusiast, he had heard of the name of Purple Mountain Camera, which was the pinnacle of independent research and development of flower-growing cameras in that era.

Because it uses 135 film, the model is named Z-135.

Not an exaggeration.

The camera in his hand at this moment is definitely the dream of countless camera collectors in the history of technology in his previous life.

1958...

Liu Guangqi's eyes moved. Isn't this the new thing that just came out of the factory this year?

Suppress the waves in your heart.

There was no hesitation in his hands. He skillfully turned the film advance lever with his fingers, then placed his index finger on the shutter and pressed it lightly.

"Click!"

A crisp and pleasant mechanical sound was heard, which was quick and decisive, without any delay.

Pure mechanical shutter.

It shows the ingenuity of industrial manufacturing in this era.

The state-owned master standing by watched Liu Guangqi skillfully fiddling with the camera, a hint of surprise flashing in his eyes.

But looking at Liu Guangqi, he looked like he walked out of a magazine.

But I don't feel surprised.

There aren't many people who know how to use cameras these days, but it's clear that this young man is no ordinary person...

No wonder he is a connoisseur!

……

……

"Isn't this thing nice?"

"I heard from the person who asked us to sell it that the optical quality of this thing is comparable to the Russian bear's 22mm lens, and the image is clear and sharp..."

"The new one cost at least two hundred yuan, but now it's only one hundred and twenty!"

The commissioned master smiled, but it took him a long time to explain the professional terms clearly.

"One hundred and two?"

Liu Guangqi raised his eyebrows and took out ten big black tens from his inner pocket.

"Just one hundred! Not a cent more."

"You can see that this thing is just a decoration in the hands of ordinary people. Only I would think of taking pictures of it."

The commissioned master's eyes stayed on the money for a moment.

He looked down at the camera again, his fingers tapping on the counter, as if he was thinking about something.

This camera has been with him for almost a month!

There were very few people asking, and even fewer people offering bids. The young man in front of him was the first one to pay directly.

And the price is one hundred!

Half an hour!

He finally sighed and put the camera back into its box:

"Forget it!"

"It's Chinese New Year, so I'll just entertain you! It's better for this camera to be with someone who knows the business than to be left gathering dust with me."

The deal was finalized, and Liu Guangqi felt relieved, but his face remained expressionless.

He pointed to the bottom film slot of the camera!

He smiled and said, "Master! I've already bought the camera, so why don't you give me the film as well? You won't be able to use it if you keep it."

Implications!

How can you sell a camera and then remove the film from underneath?

The entrusted master's heart, which had just been put at ease, was lifted again. He stared at Liu Guangqi, forgetting that this guy was an expert.

"Hey! You kid!"

He pointed at Liu Guangqi and shook his head in a mixture of anger and amusement: "You really won't take any loss at all!"

finally.

The commissioned master gave the film to Liu Guangqi!

Just as Liu Guangqi said.

This thing is useless without the compatible camera model.

therefore.

On this point, he did not make things too difficult for Liu Guangqi.

……

……

Coming out of the Trust Store.

When the cold wind blew, Liu Guangqi felt much more energetic.

He weighed the heavy thing in his hand, and with a click, he neatly put the brand new 135 film back into the film compartment at the bottom of the camera.

have to say.

The bottom-loading design of the Purple Mountain Camera is indeed easy to operate.

This time, we will stroll through the trust store!

Liu Guangqi was obviously in a very good mood after finding a 99% new Purple Mountain camera.

did not expect.

I went out just to avoid the gossip in the yard, but ended up finding such a rare thing.

Liu Guangqi stroked the cold metal body of the camera!

The depression in my heart had long since dissipated, replaced by an uncontrollable excitement.

This year, it seems I can take some photos to keep as a legacy!

Just now when I was loading the film.

He also obviously noticed that the matching 135 film looked brand new, and the edges of the wrapping paper were not worn, so it was obviously unused.

That is to say-

In standard shooting mode, one roll of film can usually produce thirty-six photos.

Thirty-six!

Enough for him to take a few photos of his family!

180 Moreover, you can also take pictures of many things of this era and freeze them for later use.

Come to this fiery era.

Now that he has a camera, Liu Guangqi naturally doesn't mind capturing many beautiful things of this era with his own hands...

Take more photos!

When I get older, I will take it out and read it, so that my trip will not be in vain.
